1) 29 year old Straight Male, Married 8 years. Also in a brand new relationship with another woman/couple.
2) We do not practice safe (ie barrier-method) sex either with ourselves or with our new friends.
3) Back when we did, we bought them at the grocery store much discomfort. And giggling. We were 17 and 18 at the time.
4) My wife and I compared backgrounds before we started having sex, 12 years ago, and agreed that we were safe to do without. As a matter of fact, that was a moderately risky decision. But it turns out to have been the right one. We've used condoms only when needed as a backup method of birth control (missed pills, etc).
Our new friends are extremely safety-conscious and have been regularly tested for many many things. I'm regularly tested for AIDS and Hep-B when I donate blood, my wife has been tested for AIDS, and prior to this new relationship she and I had been monogamous and asymptomatic for 12 years. Given all that, we all feel quite safe having unprotected sex.
Having settled our concerns about it beforehand, we have no regrets afterward.
5) My wife and our friend are both on the pill. We would never dream of having sex without some form of birth control, but it's not about disease prevention for us.
