This is why you just be honest.
Look, we’re in modern times.
- Act ethically. Keep no secrets.
- Fuck whoever you want, but make sure everyone is on board and in the know.
- You’re the firewall to your sexual network. If your network is one person or a hundred, you verify the status of each new partner before you engage in something that could expose you to risk. (Verify, don’t ask. See the paperwork.)
- Get tested regularly to establish a baseline. The periodicity depends on your risk factors and the size/velocity of your sexual network. Once every 3-4 new people in the network is common in my experience.
And that’s it!
Pro tip: Boundaries end at your body. You shouldn’t tell someone not to be who they are, but you can choose not to accept a relationship style that doesn’t work for you. And vice versa.
Life is too short to be unhappy.
