Isn't it rather interesting and yet disturbing to think about all the people you've had indirect sexual contact with in this method?

And I think everyone here has hit on an important issue--it's about education. I know in my AIDS and STDs class here at my university we touched on the idea that you not only sleep with your partner but whoever else they've slept with. It's a hard thing to conceptualize but it's important to add it to education so teens today really understand their actions.
