So a touchy subject for some I guess, but I'm 99% sure I just discovered 2 genital warts on my penis. Very small bumps that are not very noticeable, not irritated, and certainly not the end of the world. I had one once before maybe a 9 months ago or something - They froze it off, (not the most fun but was quick!) took 2 attempts and was gone. Understand that a one time reoccurrence is always very likely, and less so afterwards.
Last time I wasn't having sex with anyone at the time and so everything went fine, it cleared up and a once it had visibly gone I just carried on with having sex using protection as always. I know that you are contagious even after the outbreak has cleared up but for me this is as careful as I could be without giving up dating/sex and a social life - which I'm just not prepared to do. That really would depress me!
I think when people discover this shit they sometimes get freaked out and depressed, but fuck it, I am very hygienic and careful guy who always use condoms and just likes to have sex with girls. I don't know who I got it off and stats show that over 60% of people have the virus or something - if you factor in the girls I've slept with then it makes sense that I would have it - If I got this when doing everything right then I just have to accept it and move on.
I guess the discussion I want to propose is how have any of you guys (I've sure lots of you will have this shit too since you sleep with a higher than average number of girls!) is how have/should you react and handle this type of situation, do the same that I did above, or just carry on as long as you use condoms. Tell future partners before you sleep with them? (i didn't get this privilege)
To kick off this debate, my current plan differs from last time as I'm in a different life situation. I'm in a new country living in a big city, meeting lots of people and dating a lot - I don't want to give up the dating part at least.
So I will;
-get checked out asap by a GP to confirm, and then get the most effective SPAM (I'd prefer the freeze thing again but probably the cream because of the country I'm in)
- Continue to date multiple girl, but put off sex until everything is cleared up and continue to use condoms, I might not let them go down on me for a couple months as I wouldn't want to irresponsibly risk their health. Multiple girls as I can spread my time and get away with seeing them just once a week or so to slow down and control each relationship.
- If they are extremely sexy and I really do find myself loosing control for some reason and I just have to have sex, I would use the same tactic of not letting them go down or even touch my penis and use a condom. - I think this would be very unlikely for me, I'm good at controlling myself.
So please - discuss and share your experience and please don't feel ashamed or embarrassed - this is anonymous online forum after all.
