STDs and sex

[inthenighttime]

Isn't anybody here living with an STD (or multiple STDs) and is living a good romantic and sex life?

Would be great to have someone to look up to in that area, it isn't exactly an out-there subject

I refuse to believe nobody here does considering how common it is.. or maybe you're just asymptomatic and don't know

Ok here you have stepped over the bounds of what people will talk about or admit to.

Sex is a past time that is sacred!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the most important thing (for many people and many more who just do not know it) that we have. A tool for passion, intimacy, love, fun, pleasure and on and on.

An STD (it is now politically or medically correct to call it an STI I=infection) STI will hold you back or end your sex life all together. No JOKE!!!!!

In the world of swinging there are thousands of people who have herpes (for example) and do not tell. They can get away with it because it is only there some times and they can't infect someone then. Yes the when times are hard to know but still it is what it is.

YES. Lots of couples have long lasting relations where one partner has it (or other STI's) and the other does not.
Finding someone is not easy if you have one.

It's not about "political correctness", just correctness.

A "disease" has harmful symptoms (coughing, burning sensation, death...) but not everybody who contracts a STI develops symptoms. Most people who catch chlamydia never experience symptoms and may never even know they have it. So they don't have a "disease" as such - but they do have an infection that can be passed on and cause disease in others.
