not at all, but we'd be courtin' a long time before we did the nasty, sorry.

i know you're still able to have intercourse without contracting the disease, but...yeah...like i said in my previous post it would depend on the person and circumstances.

terrible...i take my encouraging laugh back, i do

woa unto you-all who find yourself denied love that you too deserve

look for me and i'll still treat you like a human being

i know a couple of ex-porn actors who'd like your phone number.

do your thing man, but be careful and don't forget the jimmie hat.

Sorry, but I'd rather avoid such complications.

Some might think it's harsh, but if I've been able to keep up on my condom game as a woman after all these years, I'm expecting the same thing of any sexual partner of mine, real or potential, period. I want to protect my Pikachu

i wanna bite your shoulder now

Assuming I'd be considering this person for the long run and not just some fling, herpes would mean little more to me than occasional heat rash.

Something like HIV, because its implications could be a bit more substantial, would challenge me more. There'd need to be more talking about expectations, needs, etc., but I wouldn't necessarily kick a person to the curb over a poz status.

This has probably already been said, but I find it very ironic that someone named

"Stillgotit" started a thread about herpes.




Choosing a better word edit.

Well hell, if they're perfect in every way I'd at least have to think about it. But it would be a huge bummer, & progression would depend on my connection w/ him. I'd rather not deal w/ it...

Sorry but not being able to give someone head without a rubber bums me out.

^^^^^ Yeah, I couldn't go that route either.

Ummmm, so if a condom cannot prevent you from contracting herpes are you "all about love" folks actually saying that you would be willing to get herpes in exchange for finding the one??? If so, that's got to be the nuttiest shit I've ever read on the org. Second to it's only "an occassional heat rash"

Slow down? It would come to a screeching HAULT!!!! Condoms aren't 100% effective against herpes or HIV and I'm not willing to take that chance. A friend of mine dated a guy with herpes...his girlfriend at the time had it and he was so "in love" with her that he didn't care and wanted to have a baby with her. Well now they aren't together, she's a douche bag and he's got friends for life...on his genitals.

F THAT.

My body is more important to me.

I usually consider myself to be pretty openminded but I agree with Carrie. It may be because I don't believe in "forever" or "the one" anymore. It's bad enough (to me-in my opinion) that you run a risk of someone cheating on you and possibly contracting something but it's something else going into it full on knowing.

Vendetta1 said:

So… people who have contracted a disease should reasonably expect never to have a relationship or sex again?

Just throwing that out there…

CarrieMpls said:

thats my question to...put yourself in their shoes

Probably not.

SCNDLS said:

if i found the one, or better yet- the one for me, and had to deal with the possibility of contracting herpes even with protection

yep, id deal with it.


i've had enough "clean" bitches shit on me...

i mean, dont get it twisted...it would be difficult (was in my last relationship)...and i dont WANT herpes, but i'm saying....sex aside...if i've found her...little to nothin will keep me from loving her..

i'd only hope someone would do the same for me

(yeah, i take that golden rule shit serious )

CarrieMpls said:

No. I'm not saying that at all, but they can't expect everyone to feel the way that you do and be willing to take the risk. If I had a disease I would most likely be in support groups with my kind...and hopefully meet someone with the same issues. Have you seen how many online dating groups they have for people with HIV or herpes? Unfortunately there are millions of people out there that are effected. I'd rather not spread it to anyone else.

Just my 2 cents.

CarrieLee said:

not to suggest that you dont know yourself, but i think thats easier said then done

Vendetta1 said:

That would actually give me an excuse not to have to give head.



Does eating ass have an HIV risk?

That could be a deal breaker for me.

SirPsycho said:

I guess self-preservation and my personal well-being trumps love on my list.

SirPsycho said:

I'm sure it is...but I would try like hell.
