Sleeping with people with genital herpes?
michaelicious:
Yo man what's her number?
The extra letter:
Knowingly sleep with someone who has genital herpes?
Not in a million years.
I'm fairly well-adjusted in most respects, but I will admit to having a phobia of catching skin diseases. Herpes just freaks me out far too much. Hell, I'm ashamed to admit that I won't buy food from a place where one of the serving staff has cold sores. Even if I really liked the infected person, my wang would be far too busy trying to hide somewhere behind my kidneys to perform.

This is the case with damn near every STD, due to the fact that women's mucous membranes are exposed. It's easier for the badness to get in through there that regular skin (unless you've got a cut/scratch on your dick somewhere.)

But, as Joe pointed out, if you're not attracted to her you really shouldn't be worried about it.

It seems this comment has pretty much flown under the radar, but I feel that it deserves attention because it is wrong wrong wrong, if not in theory then most definitely in practice. First of all herpes is spread through direct skin contact through an infected person. So, to feel safe about this, you have to be sure that first, there are no infected cells anywhere on the person's genitals (not going to happen unless you have a microscope, a lot of time to waste, and your partner doesn't remind you removing their bits, and if you're not sure of that you have to be sure that there is absolutely no chance that there is any kind of abrasion on their skin "down there" whatsoever. Even ones so small that neither party can feel them.

Also, because it is transmitted through skin contact and not fluid exchange, there is a smaller gender discrepancy than with most other STIs.
In conclusion. A silly risk to get to touch a lady you seem none too thrilled about touching.

Our minds think the same way. :|
To the original poster: If you don't fancy her, don't shag her. Pretty simple really.
Besides, no one wants to end up with their dick looking like its got barnacles.
