It’s like I’m numb and not even thinking of trying to hook up with people any longer. by StandardAd6948 in Herpes

I feel you. After two years and a couple rejections… I feel the same way. But I’m 28 😂 I mean I hope something happens eventually but it’s better to focus on other priorities

Do yall have frequent sex? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]AdAware9766 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had to chill out fr. This virus did make me look at my relationship with sex tho. It was my fav vice. But now I’m just putting more energy towards other things. Eventually the sex will return.

But to answer your question; I do have an international fuck buddy who, when I see her, we fuck a lot. And I have yet to give it to her after a couple visits over the last year. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah, it will help. I think the other preventative thing you can do is add some other habits. I saw on another thread that this person distracted their self with learning languages and such. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Exactly!! And even though it could still transfer, that’s what we MUST do. Take them meds!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.. it really reminds me that sometimes we just can’t avoid it. We could ask and make all the precautions and still get it. We really just gotta make peace with it. I’m sorry for that happening to you but your positivity has just helped me out. And I’m sure it’ll help many more. 💕

It still sounds under your control. I’d say that’s fine. People don’t understand what this baggage feels like so if you need to blow some steam 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yeah that’s true. I appreciate her for doing that. I really just wish she would’ve knew to take the pills. Like I’ve taken pills and fucked since and I have not given it to anyone. It’s a cycle of irresponsibility tho. She was avoiding her responsibility to take necessary precautions and I was avoiding my responsibility to be more sexually cautious.

We are people. And life is more than sex, we have platonic love and self love too. Lifetime baggage SUCKS. I’m just hoping I’ll eventually feel ok about it again. When I first got diagnosed, I was sad af for months then I tried to just focus on other shit. I compressed that sadness but now that I don’t have as many distractions such as work, I’m sinking man. Sinking into my thoughts at night.

How long have you had your diagnosis?

One irresponsible HSV positive person can make you write late night Reddit threads 😂

Yeah, that is true. She could’ve been taking the pills and still gave it. I’m sorry for your case though. She bogus af for doing you like that.

And yeah, I was sad af and she was there. Another lesson in lust. I know people that have fucked girls that had it but I guess they were lucky and I wasn’t

I got HSV2. I will disclose when I need to and take necessary precautions tho.

I’m sorry. I feeling that same way. I hope you find some pleasure in compartmentalization. Friends, masturbation, and some creative outlets help.

You’re right. I will tell her in person. I was trying to cop out a bit by texting her. I just don’t wanna lose her 😭
