Exactly. Information is what we need, as only with all the information can one make fully informed consent.

As for everything else... You made me figure out a better way of non-ranting about my beliefs which is that I don't require everyone to conform to my safer sex preferences ... I just have a huge bug up my butt about making sure people are making <i>informed</i> decisions about risk. My girlfriend, for example, is a lot more casual about oral sex barriers than I am, but she knows what risks she's taking and accepts them. It's all because I've been a sex educator for longer than I've been sexually active. I think people should base their sexual decisions on accurate information. As long as they're doing that... they can go on with their bad selves :)(i.e. have unprotected oral sex, knowing that it has certain risks - I do sometimes, myself. But don't insist that it's "safe" as a way of not thinking about them. Acceptable risk is a great concept. Much more useful than self delusion) Gah, I say, to that last bit from swinger world… gah!

As for everything else…
