My new boyfriend thinks rinsing his penis with some water from the sink is all he needs to do before heading back to bed.
He wants to have sex in the morning when he wakes up before he takes a shower.
If you ask him to add soap to his regimen, he may not actually be so resolute.
If he's uncircumcised, there's a greater risk for buildup/smegma/funkiness that some sex pigs love.
When’s the best time to ask someone if they’ve been tested recently? Ask about it before we meet up in an app or via text so I can buffer the potential awkwardness of asking in person.
You’re better off with a mature partner who doesn’t shut down when asked about their sexual health.
Ask for receipts may take some people aback or perhaps turn them off.
It's not wrong to want to see proof, it's just that it may lead to a similar situation that you had with the guy you described.
You may have to experiment here to see what your comfort levels are and what risks are worth taking.
