Hey thor-in-vegas, have you used the new search feature above ? Enter your topic like herpes, std's or anything you would like to key in on.
There have been so many good threads on here about this HERPES subject. We all think about it, your not alone
For me the thing is, There have been people here like, "GOOD TIMES" for one, who have really taken the time to research this very topic. To me personally, I trust his research. It looks like allot of work on his part. I don't think his long hours finding facts with medical support were in vain. Unless you bring something new to light, I don't know what to ask you. But, I can relate in a small way.
We don't want to catch anything either. We have only been asked one time to show proof of std free documentation. We took ours with us, the couple we met brought nothing. It pissed us off.... Looking back, maybe they were just kidding. Maybe they laugh at us now, who knows. We will never know, we walked out on them....
The only thing I have to offer is. I know you could, in theory, catch many things like std's in a number of ways without having sex. I found those facts surprising. I do know one thing. I ask my doctor specifically to run all tests periodically on me, its not done automatically...I think its only fair, feeling the way you do, to be tested your self. You cant ask others to show proof, when you have none. Personally I find fear, met with the comfort of knowing.
We use caution and our own judgments knowing the possibilities, and accepting the possibilities.
Its all there is really...
Like I say, use the search feature and tell us what you think.....
I live in a fear of roller coasters. I can accept that fear. I think about it sometimes. I have stood in countless lines and then the moment of truth. I sense doom every time. It overcomes me in a way I cant explain. Its been 35 years since that first roller coaster moment, and still cant get on the damn roller coaster. I love amusement parks though..... Strange, isn't it.
Glad it doesn't take riding a coaster, to swing ......
