Stories and STDs

[Reshbod]

I am currently writing a Loving Wives story and in order to stretch my writing a bit, I am considering including the cheater getting an STD. Nothing deadly, something more embarrassing, like crabs. I've looked up on some medical sites and it indicates that symptoms do not show up for about 7 days. I was hoping for something a little more immediate.

The sites also state that crabs can be caught other ways such as toilet seats, bedding and the like. I haven't found any stories that include this as a subject, and in a twisted way it amuses me.

My request is, is there anything else that I should know about that may not have been covered in the articles I've looked up that I can add to spice up my story. Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.

If your cheater is a woman, try Trichomoniasis. The Mayo Clinic site says Trichomoniasis symptoms may appear within five to 28 days of exposure and range from mild irritation to severe inflammation of the vagina. If five days fast enough? Another option is to invent a fast-onset ailment or parasite, a mutant strain or something. Your clinical accuracy needn't be TOO detailed, eh?

This reminds me of the time I worked for a private mental health facility. Part of my job was cleaning the cabins that clients stayed in. Most clients didn't leave anything out of the ordinary. It was hard to avoid seeing a prescription for crabs that was left in the trash bin. I told my employer, who relayed it to the family of the guy's wife. The employer felt morally obligated to pass the info on. I went home and immediately showered. I couldn't get rid of the ick factor though and left the job soon afterwards.

More immediate reaction… as of a few hours as opposed to days…
This reminds me of a movie called "The Magdalene sisters". In this movie, the priest was abusing one of the girls with intellectual disability, and the other nuns were complices in that they pretended not to see it.

So how was the priest outed? One of the girls sprinkled both the priests' (the abuser) and the girl's (the victim) clothes with poison ivy, and they both started itching and scratching themselves at the same time, during Mass.

Not a funny scene in the movie, and not exactly an STD, but could be #ed to a humorous one.

EDIT:
As far as STD's are concerned, I doubt that you would find anything that stands out, or anything particularly striking or embarassing about them. Unless he is accidentally exposed during some public activity etc.?
Maybe? adding something else to the mix? Ie he has sex and gets infected, but at the same time that he has sex he is also slipped an upper that makes him act in a more disinhibitted manner for one-two days etc?

Embarrassment? Yeah, it's not like the old days when a whisper of "Pat's got the clap!" would ruin one's reputation. BTW 'embarazado' in Spanish means pregnant. Yes, quite embarrassing. But with STDs now one mainly goes on medication and offline hookup-wise (hopefully). The poison oak gambit would be more fun and obvious. Maybe with fluorescent dye.

Perhaps embarrassment was the wrong word. The characters in my story are older and settled in their lives. One partner contacts the STD and gives it to her long time partner. How she manages to get out of trouble and perhaps even shift blame strikes as an interesting scenario.

I think that crabs, at least for my story, is the best option for what I'm trying to do. Hopefully I can make it work.

hah! I wasn't thinking about that, when I wrote it.
But you're right, one could say that STD's are now as commonplace as the common flu

In fairness that's partially because they are mostly either flat out curable or at least manageable. Even AIDS seems to be manageable (if only by inhaling a mixture of distilled diamond dust and gold powder off the belly of virgin porno queen but who can't afford that these days?)

indeed… but maybe it's because of technology and easy travel, and urbanization as well...
one can now meet so many people nowadays and have a huge pool of sexual partners to choose from..

Without checking stats (if such data is even available going that far back) I bet people were a little more careful about who they had sex with when dying was a somewhat realistic consequence. There is of course no doubt that the fact that me popping down to San Diego or out to Vegas for a piece of ass is time consuming but far from impossible. Hell if I don't have to drive back the same day I might go to San D just to hang out with Shamu and some tigers for a while.

I find the subject here interesting. Generally STDs in fiction simply don't happen. I guess this is one of the exceptions as it is a punishment but still. You don't see it often. Kinda like fictional sex only produces children if you need a new cast member, a moral story about abortion (which more often than not ends with the woman losing the baby through no fault of her own and the heavy implication that she very nearly made a mistake) or in porn when some guy needs to see his wife give birth (ideally to a black. . .sorry off race. ..no wait black it's always black.) to another man's child to prove he's a bitch.

You lost me right there. Everybody has their own take and LW is a bit of a free for all, so do what you will.

For me though, LW and cheating don't go together.

And I don't do ill will/personal injury, etc.

I know many TV shows and movies seem to use a formula of introducing conflict and hardship, but I don't care for it.

Loving Wives is a "Free for all" because it's kind of a terrible label that I'm sure has some historical roots I'm not privy to. It is primarily cheating because there is no cheating or cuckold category on Lit. And a glance around LW tells you that it would be one of the biggest categories if it did exist. Anything with a Loving Wife probably fits better under Romance (if love is involved) or under whatever made that particular sex act special. Anal, bondage, fetish, toys. voyeurism . . .etc etc.

I mention this because I hope to be around when Lit's categories finally get fixed and shuffled around something I hope is now possible with the death (hopefully temporary) of the Survivor game which meant the categories had some strategic value and altering them could easily have screwed someone over. (Though in practice that game was always so terribly one sided that it would need to be a pretty radical change to really do much.

The LW of a few years ago was not all about cheating, its is now, it is about nothing but cheating. In fact it has gotten to a point where 'old style" lW stories where its about a couple that is actually working on issues or there is some form off affection etc...are being removed to EC and because the trolls get upset someone stuck a non husband humiliation or burn the bitch story there.

And as far if you do not deal well with ill will and injury? Stay the hell out of LW

the torture/abuse of those "bitch wives" there make the characters in the non consent category look like feminists. At least rape in a fictional sense can be seen as a fetish or kink, but the violence leveled at the women is down right frightening.

I have never seen the level of hatred towards women that exists there

And its not limited to them, you don't even want to know what happens to the boyfriends of the cheating wives.

So unless you are a fan of men being castrated or infected with aids or women having their nipples burned off then sold into sex trafficking you should stay away from there

That category is the ASSTR.org of lit and its trolls have spread and infected the entire site. any comment that involves "cunt/rape/nigger/faggot" can usually be traced to one of them.

Not an STD per se, but here's a malady that could be transmitted via intercourse.

The lady's paramour is an ardent nudist who has been out rambling bare-assed in the deep woods. After committing the deed, a mere hour passes before the lady suffers unbearable itching and redness in her nether. Crabs? Toxic pollution? Gamma rays? Nay, poison ivy. Under the best circumstances, poison ivy is a pain in the arse, but on sensitive genital flesh, male or female, it's a nightmare. Trust me. I've been there.

As for the lady in question, I wouldn't care to be in her high heels when she tries to explain her embarrassing predicament to her husband.

"Err dear, I lent my best dildo to my friend Jan and she was out camping and she dropped it in a patch of poison oak and she tried to wipe it off and she gave it back to me without telling me and then I got this rash so I confronted her and she confessed so no, it's not what it looks like, dear."

Too bad poison oal (or ivy or sumac) contains no fluorescent dyes.

I understand what you're saying but the description of LWs basically states what type of stories can be in there. Married extra-marital fun: swinging, sharing & more

In real life cheating is not something I find appealing. Personally, I like the forbidden fruit, being bad aspect of such stories.

As for the LW category, I am mystified that the admins refuse to change or correct the name so it reflects the actual type of stories. They did add the description a few years ago but it hasn't improved the category at all. Also, why is the focus on wives. I'd change it to spouses or mates or something similar.

As a reader I frankly stay out of LW because it has been taken over by BtB, castration and other nasty stories that I find appalling. So I write the stories I want to read and post them. And there are some that like these type stories as well.

And for my story the inclusion of crabs is not meant from ill will or injury which is why I mentioned that specific infection. I approach it more from a humor perspective. Did one slip up ruin everything? Is there a way to get out of it? Where can the blame be put? Also, the scenario I am thinking of will cause the trolls who inhabit LWs to have a major fit, which for me is an added bonus.

Totally off topic, but I think it's a fascinating question. If your life expectancy maxxed around 40, would your loves be more intense (we only have a few years!) or less intense (you'll be dead by next winter). Would you be more cautious (I only have a few years, gotta make them count) or less cautious (who cares, I'll be dead next winter anyway). Carpe diem.

Excellent questions. Before cinema, radio, and TV, there was little in the way of entertainment for most folk except fucking, church, fucking, public executions, fucking, faires, fucking, sports, and fucking. What shall we do today? Oh, let's fuck. Her too.

Europe before 1493 had little awareness of STDs; the syphilis Colombo's sailors brought back from the Caribbean killed about 1/3 of Europe's population, and the term "poxy whore" entered our language. Knowledge of STDs crawled slowly from the 1800s but mostly humans just fucked whomever and whenever possible. Still do in many places.

Caution? That's for cowards. The biological imperative is to reproduce before you die. If you die after you reproduce, evolution does not care; you've spread your DNA and that is all that matters.

or: I once saw this old movie called "The last american virgin".
In one of the scenes three unexperienced teens paid a prostitute to have and teach them about sex. They could only afford a cheap kinda shady prostitute .
Fastforward 24 hours, during one of their classes. All three of them start itching and scratching themselves almost simultaneously in their genital areas, to (their) utter mortification and (their classmates') initial puzzlement then amusement.

The scene was much more funny than I described, but unfortunately I couldn't find a youtube link.It can be found on primewire or putlocker, tho.
