Unless one is inquiring about a person's bathing habits, it is a stupid question.

Agreed but were talking about the people posting on the sex sites. Stupid questions seem to be par for the coarse. Usually, its the same yahoo's with the "looking for someone straight acting". Just not big analytical thinkers.

Is this a stupid question?

 

Which one? "are you clean?" or "Is this a stupid question?"

[jgoo]

Maybe stupid but by itself pretty vague. Clean from a hygiene standpoint? Clean of drugs? Clean of disease? All of these? And then one has to consider the value of the answer (ie is it honest or not, or varifiable).

After reading most of the Huffington Post article, but not watching the video which is included, I guess I put this question in the same category as any other personal question which when asked of anyone can elicit the truth or an outright lie. If it is meant to determine your HIV status, then it may not be "stupid" but certainly won't give a definitive answer, if in fact there can be one.
