Seriously, though, the "commited relationship" thing is because it's easier to contract an STD with the IUD in. The woman would not need to be tested for STDs before getting it inserted, because the STD she already has wouldn't affect the IUD.

Single, non-committed women are at high risk for STDs with the IUD, and it wouldn't make sense for them to get one, unless they were planning on having every sexual partner they have getting tested prior to sex.
