Monogamous or not.

[MJ the Skeptical]

I can't remember if this has been mentioned already but...

There's one quite obvious advantage to being monogamous: peace of mind about STDs. You only need one check each, then you're set.

I'm not suggesting this would/should be a deciding factor, it's just a bonus really.

While it's a perk to get less STD's, Monogamy is certainly not a guarantee or peace of mind that you won't get STD's. For example...

1) Your partner could be having sex with others.
2) You could get an STD from public restrooms.
3) You can get STD's like Hep. A from contaminated food.
4) Skin to skin contact with certain STD's of other people.
5) You can get STD's from other bed-sheets.
6) Tanning beds can leave STD's from other people.
7) Used razors can also harbor STD's.

I'm not starting an argument, just being nit-picky.
