We've gotten weird and legalistic about this because we think we can formalize pseudo-caring. This doesn't work super well in the best of contexts, and sex has got to be pretty close to the worst place for it
It's really sad to me that "care about the people you have sex with, and have sex with people who care about you" hasn't taken off as a norm. For just nearly everyone within the human bell curve, this works.

We have also internalized the idea that we have a responsibility to be accountable to others for every one of our intimate decisions, and thus now require specific, formal, legible procedures to articulate. “The personal is political” strikes again.

Learning what "safe sex" means for you, and learning to navigate that space with intentionality, confidence, and honesty (with yourself especially) allows for exploration of intimacy without commitment. It can be quite lovely.
