He's likely not a virgin like you, right? I would suggest having him show you his STD/STI test results before you do anything with him. If he refuses, that's really the only chance you need to give him
Woah! easy, women sure know how to hurt a man

Hurt how? lol it's not unusual these days to ask for your partner to get tested. Jailed up Jerry has a lot to prove, and if he were to refuse it'd show he's not willing to rise to the occasion. Because despite the emphasis people are putting on how Miku wants to have sex, she is actually looking for a potential husband.

I would always recommend getting it done, but she's in the lowest risk group being young and a virgin and she thinks people are nagging her. It just needs to be kept in perspective.[/nades]
I'm glad you recommend but her healthcare has been neglected for the past ten years, five at the latest. Being low risk means you do it less often, not at all. It's short sighted to think it's not a big deal just because she is deemed low risk.
It entirely makes sense that people that care about her would be urging her, or nag her some to get it done since most cervical cancers are found in women who have never had a test, or it’s been a while since they were screened. HPV is the most common cause of cervical cancers but not the only. The whole point of a pap is to see if there is anything abnormal that could lead to cancer in the future - even if she isn't at risk right now. Then, maybe more importantly, with women's healthcare generally being crappy(and under attack right now), our best asset is a record of our health history. So the perspective is what a woman needs to be doing to properly manage her health for now and later.

Well she might as well just get a dog then.
I think a plant might be a better place to start. Dogs and cats are not inexpensive and can be a lot of responsibility someone new to pet ownership is probably not used to.
Agreed. There is a lot more to pet ownership than most people realize. I just re homed another neglected cat, who's owner apparently didn't know what the heck they were doing.
