@Brianne: oh you can frig off right now.

@jenalicious: i am not a responsible person and i have never EVER claimed to be. i'm not interested in talking about the way things should be. i'm more interested in talking about the way things are.

i'm a lot more upfront about this shit in this phase of my life. i wasn't a few years back because people (like some of the ones in this comment section) act like herpes is the END OF YOUR LIFE. that shit can't kill you and can't cause birth defects unless you are a woman with an outbreak at the time of a vaginal delivery. and that will never happen to me.

i hate how everyone acts like they are doctors here when they are like, "i've never had an std, but..." FUCK but. you've never had an std, so you don't know. you don't know what it feels like to have to carry that stigma and be afraid that no one will ever want to fuck you again. especially when you know for a fact that it's NOT THAT BAD to have herpes. and you don't know the scientific facts on the situation because you've never been forced to sit down in a doctor's office and discuss them. so step off. for real.
