OK I hate this...
 

So I'm talking to the fantastic guy tonight for hours.. he's absolutely perfect. Hot, educated, artistic, cultured, smart.... The first guy in forever that sparked my interest this way. Everything is going way cool.. and he somehow in conversation bring up that he has

herpes

Great.. wonderful... NEXT!!!

Why is this shit so difficult? There's always something majorly wrong with everyone. ack!

i dont have herpes ;)

well, better to find that out sooner than later.

I have herpes too.
Not genitalia herpes though.

At least he was honest..... :helpme

RRRED, here's a clue: most people have herpes. As long as it's not genital herpes you'll be fine. You might even have herpes too. Most people carry it around without being affected by it theirselves.

that includes yourself, ya know.

grow up and have some compassion.

It's not that I don't have compassion but shit HELLO... what do you do?? I wasn't rude nor did I kill the convo and run out the door.. but I'm genuinely bummed. I'd rather meet someone with a ton of credit card debt or maybe a psycho ex... but herpes? I just can't go there...

My goods are clean.... they will be staying that way.

But yes, spannow at least he was honest... I just brushed danger man! Come one all of us have got caught up in the moment and had unprotected sex one time or another.... that could have TOTALLY SUCKED!!

Sure he's a great guy and all but I don't want to me 80 yrs old and nursing my vaginal sores!

:( so sad

shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttttt yuck

Herpes sucks!

Herpes is itchy. I get it when I have stress..and it sucks.

People who are hating on you RRRed for not diggin' the rotten cock are the same one's who would dog you if you'd hit it and caught shit from him:
"You stupid bitch! What were you thinking!? You should've asked him if he had anything!!!"

at least he told you before, not after hahha :)

E X A C T L Y :thumbsup

teengodfather are you sure that's herpes?

spannow, no shit... It's actually more of a bummer that he was so honest about it cuz it shows he is a genuinely cool guy.. I can say this is one situation I've never had to even had to consider.. makes ya think!!

They should have catagories on dating sites for people with herpes. It would avoid them having to deal with being shot down all the time. It would be like "whoa man you have herpes? right on me too!"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Stop looking.

i understand it's totally controllable with a pill.


so the guys an IDIOT for talking about it cause if he was taking the pill no one would know and from what I know and correct me if i'm wrong but it's not really contagious unless it's in outbreak and the pill is supposed to TOTALLY contain outbreaks....

you were right to run

As long as he takes his Lysine, and knows when he's having an onset, what's the big deal?


Otherwise he would never have bother with you.

Get the hint that the guys interested in you are a good indication of what you can realistically get.

Yes.
Coldsores = strain of herpes.

Ummmm, you seem very knowledgeable and a bit defensive about Herpes... WTF!? :helpme

Well I'm not saying I was thinking of having sex with him anyway. I just met him and the getting to know him part was going very very well. I honestly have absolutely no knowledge about it or how to get around it or anything so I'm a bit ignorant and uneducated.

Damn though that really put a damper on things. He was really casual though.. he brought it up talking about an ex wife that cheated on him and gave him this. He wasn't even bitter. He was like it was no big deal. I'd have fucking killed her.

25% of americans have herpes of some kind.

23% is probably cold sores

I thought the percetage was way more, like over 50%

If that's the case - I'm done. I'll be forced to stick with cybersex! :(

So the hot, smart, funny etc etc. guy who has herpes is intersted in me.. and that means what? Is that a bad thing or a good thing? I think it was a good thing but just with a bad uhm I dunno... I don't wanna say bad taste in my mouth LOL... oh god this is nuts

btw spannow I love ya man but I hate your fucking sig...

LOL - but I don't have Herpes... :winkwink:

It's possible I remember I read it's over 30%
This article says 25%

I have a cold sore in a part of lip,it's very small (hard to notice it) and I don't recall any outbreak. That's the outcome when everyone rush to kiss you lol

Forced?!

ASSHOLE!!

*runs away crying*

Shit! Maybe I do... :uhoh

Don't worry. You'll find another guy just like him in like 10 years.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Dude, why you hating on RRRed? :warning

Cold sore is in your bloodstream (as is all herpeses), so it might break out at any part of your lip (face for that matter, I know a guy who had it in his eyebrow. lol).

As far as I understood 25% had GENITAL herpes? That's fucking frightening if true. lol.

"Prevalence of oral herpes is 50 to 80 percent of Americans, with only 10 to 20 percent having recurrent outbreaks, but about 80 percent having at least one."

Spannow you got my back babe! I love it and I got yours too :)

Dark Jedi, I'm not desperate or THAT fucking ugly and dull to get a guy. I wasn't out to really do that. I just simply met someone intriguing and out of the norm.... It's a good thing I have thick skin... however my skin is healthy too!

yes it really sucks

good thing noones posted pics yet..

uh oh maybe i jinxed it :helpme

Actually, I had a picture of my coldsore somewhere, and I tried to find it the first time I posted in this thread..but I couldn't find it. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

rrred ..... did your father have a stuttering problem :) just playin :winkwink:

Now think about how it would be meeting a regular Joe :1orglaugh

damn... can you find it please? you got my hopes up lol

Haha keep looking dude! We wanna see. So it itches? How long does it last?

Well, it itches like hell. But not like 'scratching' itch, as if you scratch it..it fucking hurts.

It lasts about a week or so, depends a bit. I have 'Aciclovir' gel that I put on it to stop the outbreak. If I put the lotion on as it starts to itch, it never breaks out. I've also used just plain honey, or snapped a twig off my aloe vera plant and rub it on it if I didn't have the lotion. It helps.

here's a pic of a coldsore, not mine though.

NIIIIIICEEE

*begins to masterbate*

50 cold sores
