I dont know where to go from here brosBe careful with those greentexts.
Now that the source has run out, they’re irreplaceable artifacts.
It’s fine, I can easily search 8chan and find greentexts an order of magnitude more deranged. This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg, thankfully/unfortunately
Back in the day I thought that of /b/.
Those were simpler times. A more… civilized age.
Even when it didn’t exist, it was still there, insidiously, silently lurking within the confines of /b/ by actively posting most of the content on /b/. Now, they hide in the shadows of their public website where they scheme, hypothesize, plot, and ponder about why they don’t have girlfriends and why women should be gutted on sight for the glory of Q. Devilishly subtle bunch
I’m not. The site was running on old software a decade ago and hasn’t been touched. I’d be surprised if they don’t swipe another chan software and just slapped a coat of paint on it, but I don’t expect them to be rushing to get the site back online after they got entirely rinsed.
Literally ⅔ of all humanity has at least one type of HSV. It is not the end of the world.
Thats false! “Transmission may still occur when symptoms are not present.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes
Where can I find more info on this? You’ve peaked my curiosity and I want to learn more about HSV and how it works.
It works by making fucking ugly sore blisters on/around my mouth a couple times a year. they dry out and crust off after a week or so and i get on with my life.

Huh, either I dont know I have it or I got lucky. Thats crazy. I imagine an STD test would pick up HSV-2 but I wonder if it also picks up the oral variant. Ive never actually noticed any symptoms on myself. This is actually crazy though I didnt know this, I feel like more people should. TIL lol
- piqued my curiosity…

The important and nastiest part of HSV is some strains cause cervical cancer in women, so men with HSV must take care not to spread something that has the potential to kill their partner. There is a vaccine, but it doesn’t work 100%.
1/3 gang represent. Passed midlife, still clean. I didn’t find my penis in the trash bin.
Hey, it’s 1 in 10 for the genital version in the U.S. Not common. When someone dismissively says “oh it’s not that bad, it’s not the end of the world”, they’re not the ones who had to deal with pain of taking shits with sores in their ass. To deal with having a hard time being able to tell the difference between gas, liquid, and solids knocking at the door while on stool softeners to help make shits less painful. They’re not the ones who have to have the downright humiliating “oh by the way I have herpes, are you ok with that” talk. (They never are).The fact is, it’s debilitated me mentally and physically. The scarring from it has taken all the pleasure away from anal for me, and it still hurts to shit half the time. Don’t treat it so fucking lightly.
i’m sorry that you’ve had that experience and i don’t mean to diminish what you’re don’t through, but it’s also very important to note that this is far from the normal for the very large majority of people
fear doesn’t help sexual health… all sex comes with risks, and unprotected sex comes with significantly increased risk but the reality is by and large this is not what HSV looks like without other factors effecting it
downplaying risks is bad, but equally bad is people thinking a condition is worse than it is. this leads to more risky behaviour, because if they get the “scary” thing and it’s not as bad as they expect, they can take risky behaviour because they discount all their other education
it also only reinforces stigmas. this is particularly common with HIV-positive people: these days, if you have an undetectable viral load (if you take your daily medications) you can not pass on HIV… however the stigma remains, and people still often choose to not have sex with someone with an undetectable HIV infection (again, undetectable IS UNTRANSMITTABLE)
muddying the waters is very bad at scale
calm, unbiased information is what is required for public health. individual anecdotes about worst case scenarios do not serve to make people’s lives better
Telling people it’s no big deal is doing them a direct misservice. By all means it should be destimized but you should also be honest about the risks and realities of what it can mean. What happened to me might be a worse case scenario but the average first breakout is still way worse than you would have people believe, and people should know what can actually happen. I’m so sick of people being dismissive of it.
Half the time when I’m confiding in a friend about how my life has and is still going downhill and I tell them about the herpes the first words out of their mouth is “it’s no big deal, everyone has it” and it makes me feel so alone. It can be a big deal and it’s not as common as people make out.
is it? i honestly have no idea?
what are the implications on quality of life of various STDs? how “bad” is it to catch herpes? is it even worth avoiding it? (as i read somewhere that most people catch it eventually anyways.)
There’s two variants. One is extremely harmless and is generally oral. This is the one that nearly everyone has and no one really notices. The other variant is generally genital (though either one can be in either place) and is more severe and less common. The first outbreak can be really bad, subsequent ones less so. An estimated 1 in 10 adults in the US have it, though I’d imagine it skews a lot more towards highly sexually active communities. It can be transmitted even if you don’t actively have sores, though that’s much rather. Condoms also don’t prevent transmission, though again they make it much more unlikely. While getting it certainly doesn’t have to be the end of the world it is worse than they generally say.
Anon, who’d you get the BJ from? They can’t give it to you again…
This is a common misconception and the leading cause of Turbo herpes outbreaks.
Stay safe kids
You can’t get it multiple times from the same partner unless it’s hsv-1,and even then it’s rare after you’ve built up a resistance to the virus and they’d need to be in an active outbreak.
But yes, you can migrate the location of hsv1, the most common herpes type (incorrectly referred to as oral herpes). You want to be especially careful if it migrates to your facial area beyond your mouth/lips as occular herpes can cause blindness, and if it spreads to your nose and brain, there’s a real chance you could die.
These are rare in first world countries though and are typically seen in places without access to clean water and sanitation.
I got HSV-2 after my longtime partner cheated on me, and it’s absolutely miserable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone take it as lightly as some people do. During the first outbreak I couldn’t pee at all because it was blocking my urinary tract, and it felt like I had a horrible flu. I get outbreaks constantly and they’re so painful that it’s hard to sit at my computer at work. The daily pills are massive and give me a stomach ache, and only reduce the frequency of the outbreaks but don’t prevent them entirely.
I never asked for this, I was never promiscuous, I only did not use protection because we were in a monogamous relationship for 4 years. Dating is hard enough because I’m trans and ugly, so I’ve resigned myself to just never having sex again.
I’m so sorry :(
This happened to my wife, FWIW, from an old horrible partner (abusive too, v cool). Her outbreaks got milder over time to where now they’re a minor inconvenience at most. And they don’t get in our way, so to speak.
Even though, yes, some folks are now preemptively and permanently out of your dating pool, I’d argue that a lot of the people self-excluding in that way have done you a favor.
Love is strong stuff! I can imagine how low you feel about this, but I hope you allow space for it to improve over time and you don’t give up on having a sex life or romantic partners. You’re worthy of love, this dumb (and seriously common) disease can’t change that :)
