wondering...

1. canvas sneakers.... they're not very waterproof, are they? and they don't usually have much arch-support, do they?

2. it sounds like you can't put a condom on an unerect penis... why? would it slip off because it would be too loose? or is it difficult to put on just because the penis isn't stiff?

3. safer sex.... when people talk about wanting "no exchange of bodily fluids", does that usually not include saliva? how safe or unsafe is open-mouthed kissing considered to be? what about oral sex? doing oral sex without a barrier is generally considered unsafe, isn't it?

As for that last question... I was reading a book in which the author, who seems to be relatively well-known and respected, was saying that except for monogamous heterosexual couples trying to procreate, everyone else should always use condoms while having sex, because due to the risk of diseases, there was "no reason to exchange bodily fluids". But then later he was talking about his partner doing some pretty good oral sex on him. And I wondered if he used a condom for that too, or not...

1. No, and no. They're nice warm-weather shoes but walking long distances can be very painful.

2. It can't be done because the penis isn't stiff. Condoms have to be unrolled onto a penis, which requires an erection. It just doesn't work the other way around.

3. Normally, yes. It's an all or nothing kind of deal. Depends on the disease. A bad idea. Yes, it is usually considered unsafe unless you're in a strictly monogamous relationship.

He's got a point - it's very dangerous these days unless you've got iron-clad proof that your partner is clean. It's entirely possible that it was with a condom on (an unlubricated one, in all likelihood - spermicide and condom lube taste nasty).

exchange of bodily fluids?

I know that it takes only one virus in one cell to infect a person or animal.

Your mouth contains millions of live cells including your white and red blood cells and bacteria. All of these cells are passed to whomever your are kissing. Your bodies normal defenses are your skin.. In the mouth most people have bleeding gums and ulcers at times that would allow the transfer of cells in and out of the body


.. There are The 284 bird species have been reported to CDC's that have been killed from West Nile Virus that is spread from insect bites, Mostly blood-feeding arthropods that include mosquitoes, sand flies, and ticks.. Virus is one of the simplest organisms that exist. its is only composed of a RNA strand and a protein cover.. it can be transmitted by itself or in a living cell.
Most government sites say that u cant get Aids from mosquitoes and other Arthropods but i would disagree because there are may virus that have been and being transmitted that way.
There are also many virus that are transmitted just by kissing, mono and the common cold are very commonly transmitted just by simple kissing..
