I agree with what skibum is saying. Love and sex are completely different and honesty is 100% the best route. However, it sounds like you're stressing more about the whole getting-caught-by-STD thing than anything else. If you're going to stay in the shadows (which, let's be honest, is the probability here) toss a cover on it, lose some feeling, and wake up less guilty. And try being honest on this forum, it'll help. If there was zero risk of an STD you probably wouldn't feel guilty or like a piece of garbage. It's ok to say that.

I love Atlanta. Flirt with the pretty girls at Cheetah then finish off at Tattletales. That always makes for a good night. Admittedly, I don't have much experience in FL.

@brehnamedwavey yep, happened to me at Tattletales as well. Fell for the VIP pitch without pre-negotiation and got 30 minutes of light dancing w/ some heavy talking. I was too nice and just figured "shame on me." What really sucked is that I had some great times there leading up to it. It's been hit or miss ever since.

Bartenders don't do much to ruin the experience but they sure can enhance it. Had this bartender at the Cheetah in Atlanta named Jasmine. The drinks kept coming and I barely noticed her when I was talking to the girls, but when I was alone she hung out and flirted...and she was thick, major plus. Other than that one experience, never really noticed the bartenders.
