Because many people would like to know, before they sleep with someone and risk STDs, whether they are also sleeping with other people at the same time, so that they can gauge the risk.
That is very true. It’s also only half of the risk equation. Knowing the other person at least claims they will only have sex with you going forward affords some risk reduction. But what about the dozen people either or both partners may have had sex with in the last year - or perhaps the last couple months? (Not you Ginger) To me that’s a bigger question and could negate much of the risk you claim to be gauging. Otherwise it’s just an excuse to be exclusive but risk is not really all that reduced for the future - it’s the past still posing the risk.
I can certainly see only dating one person at a time as Dawn says. I just don’t see the need to voice it or even bring it up after only a few dates as LH is saying. It’s red flaggy to me but heck I’ve gone months and double digit dates without bringing it up so what do I know.
