I've been very shy about asking this question, but I figured who would know but you ladies. So here goes ( and this is very hard for me ) ...


My EX left me with 2 STDs ( herpes and warts- what a sweetheart!

Thanks Scarlett for all the info, you are a sweetie. I guess I'm not alone with this, I just still feel 'dirty' even though I shouldn't.


Hugs,

Robin

Awwww robin,
Kim and scarlett gave you the info you need.
As far as feeling dirty, please don't. Many people have HPV.
It is good that you are honest.
I had a G/F years ago with HPV. She was honest about it and we just took all the precautions and no sex during an outbreak. That was snuggle time.
She was not a dirty person, she just had a partner somewhere along the lines who either did not know or did not tell.
You would be surprised at how many people who have this.
It does not mean that you are dirty. I have never had any signs of HPV because we used precations. And you know, no one ever talks about her or HPV, so please do not think you cannot enjoy a healthy sex life or relationship because of it.
Being honest is great and using the precationary methods will allow you to enjoy a pretty normal sex life.
How can we help you to not feel dirty about this?
