I submitted a question to okcupid for the first time. It was rejected.

Do you have an incurable STD (Genital warts (HPV), genital herpes (HSV), or HIV/AIDS)?

Here is some of the user feedback we received:

Near 100 % of sexually active adults have one or more HPV types, so you could just as well ask "Are you a virgin?" - which is a question that does not exist per se, but is part of the answer of a few others

Too similar to other questions

I've seen questions closer to these:

"Would you date someone with scars from a failed suicide attempt?" (admittedly "failed suicide" and "cutting" are less similar than I expect they realize)

"How would you feel about someone who got emotional about art / music / etc.?"

Don't think I've seen the laughing during sex part. The closest was probably about amount of discussion during sex.

"If you caught someone being extremely silly when they thought they were alone, would you be more or less interested in them?"

So on those four they seem to be doing not to terrible. I recently deleted all my answers and started over, getting up to 500, since I basically hadn't touched it in over a year, and things change.
