If you find out you have an STI you have a MORAL responsibility to tell all of your previous sex partners to let them know they may need to look for signs or get tested. It's not about trying to find out the "culprit" it's about slowing the spread of a disease. I find it IMMORAL …

My god, I mean how can you only consider a don't ask don't tell attitude about STDs? This is actively supporting stigma and immaturity in dealing with such infections and will just help to further spread it. Growing up means to take responsibility first for myself and secondary f…

so, maybe we need a video about stds and stis in japan so we can educate. meng's mentality is dangerous. this is why the stigma continues. this also puts people's lives in danger. the reality is some people won't get tested until prompted and thus, get treatment too late

Are you serious? How can you say something like that "not to tell". You are out of your mind. We don't play with people's life's because you have a fear not to be blocked. Is unacceptable

Thanks for uploading this - the comments about "just don't tell them" made me very uncomfortable - and I agree it is a very important topic that deserves its own video. Saying "its a japan thing" - doesn't really excuse it - and everyone agrees even if its "a japan thing" that d…

If someone blocks for not responding immediately whether it be minutes or an hour that is a giant red flag IMO.

I block when people lead with NSFW photos and zero greeting despite being told NOT to do such a thing in my bio. If one cant take the 15 seconds to read the bio, then I am in no way going to make a connection if ones attention span or comprehension is that poor.

if anyone is having sex and gets an STD etc. YOU MUST TELL YOUR PARTNERS! This is so important, is the correct policy for every country in the world. Shut down communication, and people will just keep sharing illness without knowing.

You shouldn't force anyone to take an STI test (you should test yourself to find out your status). This "don't ask don't tell" attitude towards STIs is probably the worse take there is. It doesn't help in any way and further stigmatizes the situation. I would encourage anyone to …

I am a straight female, and this happens to me all the time. Even after speaking for ages to them. I do not get it, if not interested just say so. I am not crying in my pillow if you do not fancy me , just be honest. I think it is so rude, and unnecessary. Especially when they p…

Oh WOW guys…not informing your previous sex partners that you have an STI is just irresponsible…more than cultural differences, this is public health safety? I’m so disappointed by this take coming from this channel

I once was at a club in New York and the man said "I would have sex with you, but I would NEVER be seen walking down the street with you" and that said everything I needed to know about the people I was dealing with.

Jesus, Mary and all the saints -- what happened to courage, truthfulness, and a bit of grace when ending connections? A simple, honest: 'We're very different people, with different aspirations. I don't see how this can work between us.' That used to be enough. All this blocking f…

A few reasons why the gays block: Instant Gratification - If it is not hot and ready in less than 30 minutes, they have no patience. Timing - One is ready now, while the other is just browsing. The ready one takes the slow response time as a sign of disinterest. Mismatch - They…

People like this that block you is a blessing. Toxic people filtering themselves out of your life. Also the ones who just don't respond. I'm grateful for as well. I simply look at their energy and make my decision.

I’m Japanese, but some people write "Japanese Only" in their profile, while others don't write it but are hesitant about the person from other countries. You need to look for opportunities to meet the other people, but many Japanese people are shy and introverted. You are well-kn…

I believe one main reason to block someone is because of the dislike/ fear of confrontation. If you tell people that they are not your type or you changed your mind, etc, there is a pretty high possibility that the other person won't take rejection well and it'll gets personal. S…

Blocking is a natural thing here in the Philippines. After they ask for your album and see your face or your full body profile, they would just block you. No words, just block even before you can send another message. So, in my profile it says "Just say PASS, BLOCKING is SO UNNEC…

I don't understand the issue with blocking. I block people all the time, and I get blocked. It's not that big of a deal. And irl, if I don't really too talk to a person anymore, I just stop acknowledging them and vice versa. It's the best way of dealing with it

If a guy is quick to block and shady that way I just view it as them weeding themselves out. No sense in wasting time with an individual like that. I see it as a blessing which makes it easier to move on.
