Sleeping with people with genital herpes?
Johnny C:
Tommy has no problem with giving away sexual diseases, but keep your fucking hands off of his Slint shirt.
Also, seriously. Perfectly reasonable idea behind it that got somehow misinterpreted. It's like the worst game of Telephone ever played, except you could just scroll up and read the question to make sure he's got it right. Don't bite the new folks!

Cold sores are herpes.

From my understanding, they don't really work the same way. And my understanding is drawn from the fact that I dated a girl for two years who got cold sores regularly (once every couple of months i guess is regularly) on/around her mouth, and I am happy to say that I am cold sore and herpes free. Apparently she got them since she was little, and her dad gets them too. Which leads me to believe they were passed on somehow. But this thread has done a good job of making me feel like kissing that girl was a sketchier decision than I initially thought. I'm rationalizing by saying that she was/is a pretty foxy* lady.
*Foxy as in good-looking and not looking like a fox. Just so I am differentiated from you internets and your furries.
Edit: My quote got messed up, but give me a break. At least I didn't quote tunnel.
ruyi:
perhaps you've just never had an outbreak! that's not uncommon. good for your immune system. but really, they are related. there are two types of herpes viruses: one is associated with cold sores, and another with genital herpes, but both of them can afflict either kind of mucous membrane.
anyways the answer to this thread is don't have sex before marriage!
0bsessions:
To the best of my knowledge, cold sores are not a permanent condition, whereas genital herpes is. One can lead to the other, allegedly, if you engage in oral sex with someone with cold sores, said cold sores can transmit to genital herpes.
On the other hand, this could very well be one of those sex urban legends. I myself am not willing to try and find out first hand, though.

Thank you for undermining my confidence. 100,000 will die for your mistakes here today.
