Hey

I was talking to a guy, and he said that my desire to ask people to show a recent STI test before having sex is what stops others from having ONS/FWB with me. Which made me feel really sad. Is this really such a big deal? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new to this, and I thought condoms weren't enough for safe sex.

Why is it normal for some people to ask for tests, but for others, it's such a huge barrier? I'm confused. How do you deal with this? Maybe a condom really is enough, and I'm overthinking it?
