There is only one thing more desperate than a new BB thread and that is a two year old one bumped up again
They are amongst the most pointless threads on punting forums, not because they are especially repetitive, but because of the lack of honesty, the degree of denial ("he who doth protest too much") and mostly the level of irrational hysteria whenever it is discussed.
I gave up years ago attempting to turn them into a rational 'evidence based' and simplified discussion and normally would no longer contribute to the "
why do they do it" type thread.
However I am doing so because I read this earlier mostly well constructed reply, albeit from a banned member, and I would like to give much of it a + 1
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=134276.msg1501886#msg1501886It illustrates some of the points I mention especially the irrational hysteria and obsession with sexual histories (which are impossible to ascertain with any degree of accuracy)
I write this early on a Sunday morning knowing that there are god knows how many people in just my home town, who are waking up today having indulged in unprotected 'casual' sex last night.
A very small proportion of them will involve prostitutes (maybe even less than usual with AW being offline
)
The majority will have done it because it feels much better for both parties and a few will have paid for that 'sensation'. Those that do so take a varying degree of risk.
Those who sensibly wear a condom today, tomorrow or next week with anyone who, unbeknown to them, may have indulged otherwise last night, will be fine. It is a simple as that.
