I'd be pissed if I had sex with a girl and she mentioned it after the fact.
I guess I didn't want to even risk it. I probably also was rather naive about herpes too. [Reply]

1 in 5 adults (and 1 in 4 women) in the US aren't "clean" and somewhere around 90% of them don't know it so, IMO, it's important to be educated about it. [Reply]
