So, recently I hooked up with with a long term friend. A couple of days after our encounter, I developed sores and splits in the skin down there, which were excruciating! I went to the doctor and requested tests, which I do after I'm with someone new anyway to be safe. I'm convinced it is Herpes and I think my doctor is too... I'm still waiting on the official results.

If you have it, how have you handled it? How have you coped? if you are single, how has it affected your sex life with prospective partners? I'm in stress central here. 😔
