Well I hate to call BS on you neocon, but it is a rare opertunity so I can't pass it up. "I am right that people in the sort of relationship I have in mind are low risk for STDs." You looked up a statistic on premarital sex between people who follow up and get married and found that there is a low risk. This would mean that they likely had not had other partners and puts them in the monogamous category. You also, I presume, looked up the statistic on people who go steady several times before choosing a partner (which is normal)...I think not.

Wait a minute, neocon said there was a low risk and we were just going steady: "The Washington Department of Health and the Department of Social and Health Services share a common objective of reducing unintended pregnancies in Washington State by three percent per year. In 1996-97, for Washington State overall, 38% of all births were unintended at the time of conception. Like uhhh, what's this kid doing here. I mean uh like, I'm going steady with somebody else now, so it doesn't count does it? I mean that girl was nice and all but we both agreed it wasn't meant to be for us dude. So uh.... like my new girl friend is pregnant so what am I s'posed ta do man. Thirty eight percent is pretty close to a coin toss. What was the principle you were basing all this on btw?
