Well, it's more of a timesaver... and as time has gone on, and medicine
has advanced, and prices have come down... perhaps I'm not as celibate
as I think, or not so absolutely determinedly so. But of course, I still
have to hand out a "notice of risk" form complete with legal
boilerplate, etc.

I learnt my lesson long long ago, in general, about hooking up with
people I met online. I've seen it work, but for me, I respond to an
online solicitation and I'll end up like Jonathan Harker[1]. It's
happened before and would probably happen again.
I'd have to actually leave the house to meet someone, I know that.
