Question
I would like to discuss certain technology and market items with business partners or advisors without having to be afraid of anyone stealing any valuable information. However, signing an NDA is not necessarily appropriate in every circumstance. Is this something that can simply not be avoided? Or are there good alternatives to NDAs?

One alternative would be to file a provisional patent application. Once your PA is filed, you can disclose any details of your technology. But ensure that your PA properly discloses your invention in detail in view of the fact that the PA will serve as priority for your later-filed non-provisional application or PCT application.
