Safe Sex Information and Advice

Is a handjob safe? If she used saliva. I can't remember if she licked her hand or not. Recieved a handjob 8 days ago and worried I got something.

I know of nothing that will transfer from simple skin-to-skin contact.

A couple months ago, a pretty SW hopped in. She'd changed her hair, so I didn't recognize her right away. Then I realized she was a lousy lay. I told her sorry, I only have five bucks. I thought this would get her out really fast. Instead she said she'd give me a handjob for $5. I laughed and said if I wanted that, I could jerk myself off for free. She didn't like my response, but she got out.

I recently went and got tested, the place I went to was a walk in health care. I told them I wanted to get tested and the doctor came in gave me 8 pills and said take these. He said if I had anything it would kill everything. I didn't even know if I had anything I just wanted to be sure because I hadn't been tested in a while. Everything came up negative but better to be safe than sorry. My best friend said one of his girlfriends had trichimonous he said the doctor gave her a prescription with extra pills for him since he likely had it also. I read where more doctors are doing this because some people have a stigma about getting tested and it keeps reinfection down. HL29.

Hmm, which walk in health care you took the test? What 8 pills the doctor give it to you? Can you be more specific?

Which County charged? Macomb at Warren location was free without lying or using insurance.

You seem to connect genital warts with HSV herpes tests. HPV and HSV are not the same virus or test. Men are not typically tested for HPV. You ar correct there is "nothing to do" for herpes as far as a cure. This is why HD and many docs skip it.

I guess each county is different. That's out of my control. I think best is to avoid go to any clinic and just take z-pack, doxycycline etc yourself if you feel anything wrong. Either county health department or planned parenthood will still leave paper trail.

I don't understand your point about HPV and HSV.

[HighTemp]

This is a guideline from CDC about STD treatment.

Looks like it's better to stock up some z-pack, doxycycline and in case of any sympton just go ahead take it. The useless clinic people just going to do the same anyway.

I went to my county health department and on their website: "The Health Department does not provide free STI services. We either bill a client's insurer or charge a sliding scale fee if a client is uninsured. " Looks like same type of deal as Planned Parenthood. Unless you lie, you won't get free test.

I think 10 panel is bit overblown. There is no HPV test for men. If no genital wart, no need to test herpes. If Herpes is positive, if no symptoms there is nothing to do. HIV can get self instant test from walmart. Syphilis is very rare these days. I think highest risk is the 3 I tested.

The cheapest I found so far is with LemonAid, you paid $25 for a teledoc, then $50 for go to lab and get tested. But it's only for gono and clap. I haven't used it yet, anyone tried LemonAid already?

This STD things is really turning into a nightmare. I am seriously considering laying off this hobby for good.

I went to planned parenthood in hope of total anonymity and privacy, but they have to take your DL to take you in. K, that's fine, at least they are not in my regular medical circle. But today I received email from labcorp notifying my test result is available on patient portal. I logged in and there it is, all the STD testing and results. I am so pissed that I thought PP just call you about result. Now it's posted on labcorp website, and labcorp keep a super long history of all the reports. All the way back to 2011.

Anyone know if labcorp would take a report offline based on user request?

You mentioned that when offered CFS you turn it down as it's a guarantee to contract something. I'm imagining that was a typo? Just want to make sure I'm reading this right.

You are correct, sir. I posted that with my phone. Looking at it there are a couple other typo's, or just plain ole screw ups.

Your county health department has free testing for the big 3 that you had tested at Planned Parenthood. You can get more complete testing by using STD check.com.

The ten test panel is about $200. HSV1,2 ; HIV, Hep A, B, C and more.

First time poster, long time reader and supporter of the hobby.

Quick question though, am I the only married guy still boning his wife? Seems like everyone is getting BBBJs all the time and I'm rather too careful or too scared to get one out of fear of my wife catching something.

How do you guys do it?

Also why does no one use erotic monkey?

Since you are married, and still "boning your wife", LOL, nobody can fault you for erroring on the side of caution. I'm divorced, so don't have the concerns you rightfully have. I opt for BBBJs. I feel that a BJ with a cover is like taking a shower in a raincoat. But like I said, I don't have the concerns you do. I also get tested at least twice a year at the health Dept, for everything. And they always ask if you've given or received oral. Don't know how rare or common it is, but they say that gonerreia and clamedia as well as syphlis can be transmitted via oral. So IMHO, you are sacrificing a little pleasure for a lot of piece of mind.

I have had CFS offered to me on more than a few occasions and always turn that down as any std she might have is just about guaranteed to transfer that way. In my 9+ years I've never brought any presents home

I am not sure where to post this, so I am posting this question (s) here. I am a newbie to this hobby so please don't be to hard on my ignorance. In your dreams, are there any concerns about STD? How do you dream of protection besides a condom (which they say is no guarantee of not contracting STD's). Are there any other safe measures to use when dreaming of FS?

Can you veteran dreamers give us newbies some input on how you handle protection from STD's?

Always bring your own covers. Some ladies can't seem to keep them "in stock" and may use the lack of same as an excuse to deny you full service or let you go raw. Having your own cover makes it a LOT easier to insist on one when she's got your dong in her had ready to wiggle it in raw. A lady going out for or sending you out for covers (after you surrender the donation) is usually a setup to be ripped off.

If the lady that answers the door is covered in sores and / or appears to need a shower. Bail.

If you shave your junk, don't do so the same day you will be out to play. Anything you can do to minimize contact with bodily fluids and breaks in the skin are advisable.

If you are getting your dates from Skip The Games (STG), you will encounter ladies that will do you raw w / o even asking. VERY hard to resist. So be prepared for that.

I stopped by Planned Parenthood and had not so great experience. I did gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis testing and clinician gave me a 1 gram z-pack. For all these it cost me 265. That's the cost of an hour long GFE session in a K-agency. I think the clinician fee of 125 is the most worthless piece. She talked for less than 2 min and didn't even pull down my pant and check my junk and just gave me a z-pack and send me on my way.

So I had a GFE session with a Japanese and Korean mix girl. We did use condom, but there were BBBJ, DFK and bit of DATY. Afterwards I started to feel "discomfort" around penile area. It's not burning, not rush or bump or wart, no discharge all these typical STD symptoms. It's like a muscle in pelvic floor that stretch from penis to anus that's sore. I guess sore is the best feeling to describe it. I don't know if this just some psychological thing or is it really STD, but it won't go away after 2 weeks. So, I decided to get it tested.

Searched around this forum, seems for STD testing, there are couple options: one is that place an online order and wait for them mail you a test kit, and you do test at home and send it back. The other is have an online chat, a teledoc send prescription to a local lab and you go to local lab and get urine and / or blood sample. The other option is planned parenthood and after thinking it over, I decided to go with PP.

When I get there, the door is locked and there is intercom at door. You must have an appointment to get in. There are quite few people in waiting room. It's kind of weird to see what type of people will go into PP.

The receptionist asked about my insurance and income stuff. Even I have insurance, I told them I don't. Actually I just got laid off and was on UI, but with all the people in waiting room I feel nervous and just told her I will pay myself with cash. Maybe that's the mistake and the visit cost me that much. Did you guys just lie on the form and PP will not actually do a full financial investigation? From people wrote on this forum, it seems like a free clinic. But for me, I think 265 is too expensive for the minimum level of medical attention and treatment. I am even thinking of laying off this hobby for a while or only go full covered from start to finish.

Anyone has any better approach to get STD testing?

For what it's worth, I think you're wise to have only CBJ. Even if you never catch anything else, that's a really easy way to transmit HPV to either party. And the site you mention started a more restrictive subscription policy.

HPV vaccine should be mandatory for all boys and girls. I don't give a shit about moral judgments on it. It's saving many lives and that's all that matters.
