you know dude, not everyone in Malaysia is aware of STDs.

this is because of our poor sexual education exposure in our youth due to sex related topics are a taboo here. this results in poor awareness, knowledge and education for both prevention and protection. also, by having low awareness, sexually active individuals may not be aware of the required testing and monitoring to ensure that they are disease-free.

to address your topic - men stick their penis everywhere without being conscious of the repercussions and side-effects of STDs. regarding 'transparency' - it really depends on individual's conscious and consent. if they are live with infecting other people without disclosing their current situation, just hope that they can sleep well at night.

hence the saying of 'safety first' is always foundation for one-night-stands. sure its all exciting and all but the post effect is the one that stings the most. there's nothing you can do to ensure the other person is clean unless the both of you are open to talk about it and honest to one another. just practice safe sex and hygiene is crucial. this doesn't just apply to dating-apps, but rather meeting anyone or a casual fling in any environment too. it's all the same.
