Edit: Oh geez. I guess I might’ve just gotten worked up on just the stigma. Hell, I wonder if I gave it to her now. I’ve slept around way more than her.

Edit 2: I cut out the whole long story because I’m a bit embarrassed to have overthought it so much and I guess it’s not really relevant. I’ll leave the post up so maybe other anxious people can see the responses.

The spark notes version is: I loved a girl and let her go and when she came back, she and I worried about her having herpes.

I wouldn't give two shits about it. It's not a life threatening disease or anything even if you catch it, and hardly ever breaks out, especially when medicated. And if it does, it's gone after a week.

I'd probably not even bother with condoms if it's a long term commitment.

I mean, I would recommend condoms for other reasons.

I got a vasectomy, so in a committed relationship, I don't care.

You see that is rather pertinent information.

Why? We were talking about STDs, that's the only thing my comment aims at. Plenty of ways to ensure no pregnancy happens.
