Disclosure and sex

[Martinus]

We all laughed and found it silly when the Israeli court found a guy guilty of rape because he told his sex partner he is Jewish instead of an Arab. But at the same time people, to a various degree, expect disclosure of certain information in sex - and sometimes even such disclosure is required by law (e.g. in case of HIV), often in ways that are rather inconsistent and/or hypocritical.

So I wanted to start a discussion what characteristics one should be required/expected to disclose before engaging in consensual sex.

Gender, communicable diseases, and whether you're over the age of consent.

What's their opinion on limited overs cricket.

No, just no 2nd helpings. Marriage would be on the table if she could explain that.

Yes Marti, he should tell you if he's positive if you've asked him, even if he doesn't want to, before you fuck him.

OK?

Credit history.

Yeah you wouldn't want the credit card merchants bouncing payment.

Yeah, Marty might as well come clean.  He should tell his partners he has herpes and what ever else he picked up in the meantime.

Meh, as much of a homohore as he is, I think Marti is rather conservative in his approach to the wilderness of homosex.  After all, he doesn't even do anal.

I was hoping someone might bring this up. Why gender and not. say, ethnicity? Or plastic surgeries? Or religious views? Or marital status?

Put it the other way.  I can see why gender matters.  Why would ethnicicty, plastic surgeries or religious views matter when you're just having sex? 

[Admiral Yi]

Ethnicity?  Plastic surgery?  WTF?

[Viking]

Lying to get sex is what makes us human. So disclosure should be limited to stuff that can get me hurt but not include stuff that is embarrassing. So...

- communicable disesases
- if this intercourse might be of non-legal status
- if should would rather not have sex
