Full disclosure, I have sex dreams fairly regularly. Sometimes they are run of the mill great, sometimes they are fucking weird as hell. I just took my lunch and had a little nap and had what started out as a great dream. A little sly sexy time out in the open at Bonnaroo. Awesome. But we decided to head to the bathroom, which was an actual bathroom but with only a toilet which means it was a porto and even in my dreams I won't do it in a porto. He said something kind of smart mouthed to me that I didn't like, so I told him "You're lucky I don't have a knife on me because I'd cut the ties off your shoes and laugh while you try to walk back to camp with your shoes flopping off". I then put my pants back on and left his ass in the bathroom. So don't fuck withyergirlLLL. Ahahahaa.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

You are totally going through FOMO after roo if a porto is pulling up in your dreams love.

This is probably too weird and risque for the dreams thread that CD linked. So I'll just start letting you guys analyze my weird sex dreams here in the sex thread. This is why you don't eat spicy Indian food and 7.5% IPAs before bed.
I was at a rave on a playground. Dressed sort of Sailor Moon-like, but in all pink. Long pink pigtail wig, pink high-heeled wedge boots, pink ripped fishnets and I was carrying a plush pink bear backpack. I saw one of my best friends from HS and we started making out. I hit a joint and then I put her up on a table and went down on her but her vulva turned into the opening of a three banger of Black Box wine. You know what I mean here, those juice boxes of wine that have three glasses? So I was essentially down on a box of wine. But then the weed hit and it must have been some of that shit that they grow on the moon now because I could not walk or see straight. I fell into a puddle of muddy water and was digging through my now muddy pink backpack looking for lipgloss, sloppy as hell. Dedazzled face jewels and ringpops were pouring out of my pack and some drag queens came over to help me because I was just a fucking mess. Security told them they needed to get me under control. Then I woke up.
Def elements of a few happenings of late mixed in there, but also some shit that I have no idea what.

Odd flex perhaps but I got a full-panel STD check done for the first time in a long time and everything was negative! I had no reason to suspect otherwise other than like 60% of the population having HSV1 and I recently knowingly got down with someone with HSV2 (which like a 3rd of the population also has), hence the check, but it's still nice to have everything come back negative.
Also I remember like years ago there was a discussion about herpes on here and I was of the opinion that it makes sense to avoid partners with it and I had other stigmatizing beliefs, so I just want to own that and say that I've done my research and it's almost nothing to be concerned about at all. If they're on meds and you use protection the risk of transmission when there's not a flare-up is like under 1%, and even then its biggest impact is the stigma surrounding it since antivirals can keep flare-ups to a couple times a year at worst. The biggest problem really is a lack of education.

ILY & 100%. I dated someone for almost a year with HSV but who took Valtrex daily—and I never got it
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I remember saying most grown ups have herpes when the whole COACHELLA HERPES OUTBREAK headline happened and someone was like "sure, keep telling yourself that 🙄" lol

I know this is a unique problem, but have you ever had your favorite person to have sex with unavailable, and so even though you CAN have sex with other people, it feels…eh?
Missing my GF bad and I don’t feel up to going on dates, cuz I just think about her!! First week was fine but now it’s like…ugh.

Just want to point out to everyone that Monkeypox is transmitted sexually. So we need to add it to the alert list.
"Having multiple or anonymous sex partners may increase your chances for exposure to monkeypox."
How is it transmitted sexually? It's not a fluid-based exchange. I understand a lot of the transmission CAN be passed in intimate situations, but it's not ONLY in intimate situations where it can spread.
My friend who does MMA and BJJ has been very nervous about the spread due to the close body contact.
You can get it if you're doing a make-out session, due to the respiratory secretions, or even via items that an infectious person has recently touched.
As a slut myself, we need to be vigilant about HOW it's spread. It's not about genitals at all.

They are still trying to fully understand transmission and how present it may be in bodily fluids other than drainage from the sores plus respiratory secretions, but we know that it takes prolonged contact, so sexual activity is a primary mode of transmission. Sounds almost like herpes with the added bonus of droplet transmission. There was apparently talk by some in the medical community of classifying it as an STI. The Clinic is listing sexual contact as a primary mode of transmission on all of our in-house communication.

Really loving the thoughtful sti conversation. Having opened up my primary partnership in the last 2 years, it's been hard but good to get better at communicating about sexual health.

YES!
I test every 3 months, and have a sort of "order" of STIs to worry about.

I am glad we started talking about it more on this forum. Because if not here, a place that a number of us find to be a primary social source, where? Where else do most adults feel so open talking about this subject? Maybe some folks have another source/outlet, but I imagine a number of us don't.
Going to be honest, I'm terrible at protection. I have only been "fluid bound" to a very, very small number of people in the last 7 years because of a long relationship, and I failed to consider the "family tree" as I went into those encounters. I know that I have a pretty reliable type of birth control, and have been lucky as far as STIs go and have had fairly recent testing, but my mindset of "I'm going to trust my partner to tell me if they have something going on..." is pretty irresponsible. Can definitely be a difficult subject to bring up before being with someone new.

No we only talk about dumb sex bragging stuff in here & that’s why this thread had to go first in the Thread Survivor #stillbitter
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
In just about the best timing ever, my partner had gotten a vasectomy VERY soon before meeting me, and although I do trust my IUD (it’s been reliable for many years for me now)—with the shit in this country going how it is lately re: reproductive rights… I’ll take any additional support in my No Pregnancy Please campaign for myself.
Anyway, they can’t be 100% sure of the success of the procedure until a few months have passed, then a lab checks the semen sample & makes sure those little buggers aren’t alive n swimming. So my partner just got his results back earlier this week, and having confirmation of that extra protection feels like an even more significant relief than I thought it would.

My GF's male partner said he was going to get a vasectomy while she's gone (she'll be back next month), and I know she's thrilled about the idea.

he told me on either our first or second date that he’d had a vasectomy super recently (came up in convo about us both stating we don’t want kids — I’m at a point now where I see no logic in waiting to discuss that because it is a dealbreaker for me if someone needs kids, unless they’re gonna outsource that elsewhere lol). And I was just like, “this is one of the best things to learn at the start of dating a male bodied person” 😍

Where do u go to get tested if u don't mind my asking? I've gone to PP before and felt out of place (I love PP for what they do, just expressing what it felt like) and haven't gone back there.

What city do you live in? What insurance do you have? It's all based on that. I often go to a free clinic because they test for the big 3 plus HIV rapid, but I've also gone to any walk-in clinic like City MD because I have Medicaid. But my friend who's on the state health plan can't do that, she had to go through her doctor or go to a free clinic. The only reason no one I know does PP is because ours in NYC are hard to get STI appointments for unless it's way in advance (I'm not a good enough planner to schedule a test 2 months out).
But you should go to PP if you can - it's great, and there's no reason you are out of place there, regardless of what you feel. PP is for every body.

Monkey Pox - If it is helpful, I've been getting updates from TN Department of Health and CDC. According to the CDC it is spread by respiratory droplets, skin to skin (pustules and vesicles), and on objects like clothing or bedding.
Skin rash is seen in all patients, lesions in different phases of development, lesions can be in the anus and rectum. A common symptom is pelvic and anal pain.
I follow Poznurse on Instagram. He's a HIV positive nurse who does lots of advocacy and is sex/kink positive. He also contracted Monkey Pox, and he has videos up about his experience.
Regarding testing, I get tested about every 6 months, depending on how active I am, how safe I am, and how often my partners test. I almost always (I don't do anything all of the time) ask my partners when they were last tested and what the results of that test were. I also ask if they have knowingly had an infection or partners with an infection. I ask that because I have known friends who believed that, because the symptoms went away, the infection and risk of spreading it did too.
Testing at the Health Department is usually free depending on income, they let you self report income. Here they are currently doing three compartment swabs: oral, anal, genital, because of the uptick in infections of the throat and anus. It can be a long process though because they get funding by collecting (confidential) data related to STI infections.
PP quick and easy - check if they accept your insurance but usually have a sliding scale.
There are STI tests you can do from home that are pretty (80%+) reliable. If you are having symptoms or lesions or have been knowingly exposed I'd go into an office.
