my question for the ladies: would you ever date someone with std's if you are clean? Not w/aids ofcourse. But would you? Happy Trails, Peace!
I would have to say a resounding "NO FUCKING WAY!" (I'm assuming that the std's we're talking about are HPV and herpes, since they're the only uncurable ones and they are easily transmitted even with a condom!) Now, if I also had the same STDs as them it'd be different.
I'm a guy, and yeah, I would, so long as everything was upfront and the priority was keeping illness from going from one person to the other. I mean, 40-50% of the adult population has herpes without even knowing it. HPV and chlamidya rates, unknown, are 60-70% iirc. I could easily see falling in love with a girl with HIV, for example. I'd respect the illness but that wouldn't stop me from loving her. Gays deal with this all the time.
I've heard the percentage of people with genital herpes is up near 60%. Since the vast majority don't have outbreaks, they have no idea. That being said, I'm still voting no.
RE: But what if he/she didn't tell you? What would you all do? Treat it as any other instance of gross lying and deception and kick her to the curb.
I was told by a guy I was seeing that he had herpes after we had slept together one time. I never even kissed him again.
none of my partners have told me that they were infected. So either they were clean, or just good liars. If they lied to me, I might have to chop off their dicks.
As I said, it's your right to take or not take risks. There are guys who live together, one's HIV+ the other stays clean the entire time.
i couldn't agree more. You can't help who you fall in love with. Disease doesn't stop love. And sometimes accidents happen, people cheat and one is left with something only because their sole mistake was trusting someone who was supposed to love and respect them. Now having casual sex with someone with an std, that's a whole other question. I know someone who fucked someone who was HIV+ and laughed about it, "whatever, we used a condom" To boot, she has 2 fucking children to care for. Who does that? THAT is sickning!
yeah i also agree with lucy. I wouldnt care what happened as long as i was in love. But thats me i guess. I was just curious as to what all the ladies thought but thanks for all the replies. I think love is what we were put on this earth for....to fall in love and have families right? So if i knew a girl w/ an std and i fell in love with her i would first have a chat to find out if she just wants to fuck or if she wants to fall in love. If she wants to just fuck around then i would say peace, but i would never deny love. but ofcourse we would have to compromise by having protected sex all the time. but i think thats a fair price to pay if you truely have found a soulmate. happy trails
WTF? So if we don't have families or fall in love we're not fufilling some destiny? Please, I'd be happy if I was alone the rest of my life.. and as for having a family? I have one, me and my cat.
