on sabbatical

[strippedscrew]

Hey folks. It's been awhile, I know. Between broken girlparts, a broken bank account, and a broken heart, I haven't had much to write about that would have been worth reading, so I just spared you and went AWOL for a time. Life is on the mend in many ways, however, although that may also just be a mental illusion caused by the rare phenomena of

cripes, you've had a busy time of late, haven't you? Sorry to hear things have been so topsy-turvy. I've missed your posts and I am glad to see you back.

Looking forward to elaboration on point 5, btw. ;)

Ditto #5. That's something I've dreamt about but never had someone who I could even consider mentioning it to, let alone asking.

You could almost sue your doctor for mental anguish.

About six months ago, I was told that I almost certainly had herpes, although they didn't have the means to do a test for it at the time. I cried for months, my then-partner refused to have sex with me or even touch me sexually, and a former partner who found out called me and screamed at me. Finally I found a place to get a blood test done, and ... it was negative. Turns out what I had was molluscum contagiosum, a transient have-it-once virus along the order of chicken pox or something, which can be transmitted sexually or just by touching -- children frequently spread it between them, and in my case I picked it up from the dressing room at the strip club I used to work at. Anyway, I was really angry

1.) I hadn't realized that blood testing for herpes was so recently developed

oh, no, sorry about the ambiguity -- what I meant by saying they didn't have the means to do the test at the time was that I went to a Planned Parenthood for the "diagnosis" and they didn't have the financial resources to even do a viral swab culture for herpes, let alone a blood test. They simply didn't offer actual testing for herpes. They told me that I could go get a swab test done somewhere if I wanted but it would have to be in the next day or two to get an accurate result before the blisters burst. I didn't have the money to go to a private gyno and pay for the test since I didn't have insurance at the time, and even if I had had the money, I wouldn't have been able to get an appointment within the next day or two. So I just took them at their word. When school started back, I had free access to the student health clinic which was able to give me a blood test

Wow lots going on. The good news is, it's sounds like the worst of it is over by now. I hope you are feeling better, I really do.

As for strapping it on - MMMmmm I'm so glad you've discovered the pleasures! It's something that needs to be brought to the forefront of heterosex asap!

It's funny because, I own a strap on and dildos and I've never used them with girls yet, only boys. tee hee hee

Yikes. Marsupialization? I would laugh if you were joking.

I went through the whole STD scare about 2 years ago. Minus the polyamory, it can get really interesting. I had just gotten back from South America and left a small trail of lovers behind me, only some of which I knew how to contact from back in the States, and the girl I'd been dating before I left calls with an STD scare, and chases it up with "I've pretty much rounded it down to a one month period, so it had to have been one of the three of you."

"One of the three of you" is a phrase that makes less than sweet music back here in exclusivity land.

But as it turns out, it was "Guy who came immediately after I did" (take that however you want to) and I was spared having to call Buenos Aires and distribute the bad news.

Welcome back.........

I missed your stories and exciting life. I am waiting however for an elaboration on point #5........SUE
