(probably the same risk...) ...
nah
you're mixing consequences with probability
the CONSEQUENCES of catching something are the same, regardless of where you get it from. STD you catch from your wife is the same as STD from GF or WG.
But the PROBABILITY is very different
... especially in the light of the number of punters and WG's showing up in this thread as going bb both accidentally and deliberately.
the probability of getting an STD is a function of the size of the network and the frequency of activity of the network:
i.e. the number of partners each of the partners have had previously, and how many partners each of the partners' prior partners had, back to each of the "family tree's" early sexual history.
- and that increases exponentially in paid sex over recreational sex. Probably more than exponential ... if there's a mathematician reading this maybe he can confirm
Bottom line is punters and WGs tend to have a LOT more partners than civvies, and a lot more frequently. Much higher risk.
But yes, bbfs with a civvie is also risky unless you have evidence of her history (and the size of her sexual network)
