Got any "safe sex" tools for mpox yet? How about herpes, HPV or HIV? Have you even got something that can relieve the pain of an initial heavy herpes outbreak, not to mention the burning, oozing blisters in your crotch that will be there for 3 weeks?
Oh sure, you can take a vaccine for HPV, you can take antibiotics for most forms of syphilis and gonorrhea and you can take variants of acyclovir for the rest of your life for herpes, and for HIV you can take a pill for the rest of your life and hope it continues to work.
But you'll always have HPV and herpes and you'll always be able to spread it to others including any children. And herpes is always there and is associated with Alzheimer's so you can be even stupider earlier.
There's nothing prudish about accepting that there are good reasons to minimize the number of sexual partners one has - one will likely live longer. All the safe sex in the world goes out the window when the rubber breaks.
- defrost 3y agoIt seems unlikely that a 38 year old discussing their past sexual circles would have encountered a disease that has only recently emerged. That said; Anyone can get mpox. It spreads from contact with infected persons, through touch, kissing, and from infected animals, when hunting, skinning, or cooking them. So ... yeah, look out, you might get mpox any day now. Be safe.
