Hey, fuck you.  I was thinking logically.  I quite plain and simple
don't want to catch anything that she might pick up from someone else.
 
T>The fact that your partner has other lovers doesn't mean that she's
T>screwing everything with a rod.  I wouldn't want such a lover, either,
T>but that's not the type of thing I'm talking about...I'm simply

And on the other hand, if she needs someone besides me, then quite
apparently she has no further need of me.  And if you can't understand
that I have no insecurities about whether or not she is "remotely 
entertaining" the idea of another lover has nothing to do with why I 
would have nothing to do with her then that seems rather "silly and
pathetic)".
 
T>As for catching something secondhand: If you're sexually active then 
T>that's a risk you take, period.  Mature, responsible adults can deal
T>with that risk.
 
Yes, and I do.  By eliminating said "risk"...by dropping the possible
carrier of said "risk"y sexual practices, ie, said promiscuous lover.
 
T>If your partner is not a mature, responsible adult, then you 
T>have problems that have nothing to do with sex
 
Wrong, I have no problems to speak of...I have no lover that wants to
sleep around.
 
T>and if she is [a mature responsible adult] then it's an irrelevant 
T>argument.
  
If she was a mature responsible adult, then she wouldn't sleep around.
