Remember when information about STDs was taught in public schools and when Herpes came up, all that was disclosed was that there was no cure. Oh, and don’t forget about the sores on your genitalia and in and around your mouth. Over the years, pharms have crafted meds to suppress the sores or at least magically make them heal faster because God for bid anybody lose their stride obtaining bedfellows - right?. Overall, Herpes was considered to be a terrible, permanent, ugly and painful disease that no body wanted and if you did get it, you were to graciously and quickly leave the bedding pool or so I thought.
Well, since the majority of IQs hover around 95 the 'bowing out' of the infected didn’t happen at all. 1 in 5 people have Herpes and maybe half or less really know it. It’s no surprise really because AIDS is much worse and is spread even faster. But I’m not here to talk about AIDS.
I’ve often wondered: Why would someone knowingly spread a disease or not get an annual physical when they are sexually active and don’t bother to practice safe sex? Well, I was watching a sex therapist reality show a few nights ago and the woman being counseled had Herpes. She was ashamed of herself and developed an OCD issue with over-cleaning her self and her house and thought sex was dirty blah blah blah. But the husband’s take on the Herpes things was, “So what.” Really? So the sex therapist sat the woman down and said very plainly:
“Herpes is just a skin condition.”
The woman began to feel better about herself and who wouldn’t but I think the sex therapist just may have caused more harm than good.
Herpes isn’t just a skin condition. Leprosy isn’t just a skin condition either. Acne, now that’s a skin condition. Getting sores that ooze in and around your mouth and genitals are no joke. You are even more susceptible to HIV and other diseases because of that shit. Pregnant women infected with Herpes must have cesarean deliveries or their babies will be blinded. Herpes is no joke and there is no cure.
I guess I have to chalk it all up to survival of the fittest. Nature thins the herd flushing out the weak and diseased one way or another - maybe. It’s too bad though. I feel like there is more misinformation passed around than accurate information but maybe that’s just part of the process. At least the OCD-VD’d woman was honest enough to inform her soon-to-be-husband of her condition BEFORE they had sex the first time. Some people aren’t that lucky.
I know a guy who fell victim to a female’s conspiring and he still doesn’t know it. They met in college some years back and he was in a vulnerable state having been dumped by the love of his life. So as he drank himself into a stupor and sluttishly worked his way from dorm room to dorm room, the female watched and waited for she had plan. When it was finally her turn, she enticed him with car rides, sweet treats and unlimited sexual favors just to keep him interested in her and it worked until he began to lose that interest and started acting aloof towards her. Then she hit him with the news: “You gave me Herpes” - even though she knew damn well she got Herpes in high school. He was dumbfounded. After all, why would she lie? She was a sweet, young, although plain-looking, white girl from a small town with a Catholic upbringing. He had no clue that he fell right into her trap because he had already been diagnosed with genital crabs from a pervious drunken encounter so why question anything. She groomed him and it took some time but she manipulated him with guilt into marrying her for he had ruined her chances by giving her Herpes so they may as well stay together - right? I saw the ring and it’s the smallest diamond I’ve ever seen - maybe worth $40 with taxes. In the end, she broke him. He surrendered and married her. He puts on a decent front by saying that he loves her but all I see is tolerance, shame and desperation quietly disguised as love. I can see it in his face and their children’s faces.
