amy_200375@hotmail.com If you're trying to protect your identity, you could always just sign up for a new e- mail address in hotmail...don't put your real name I'm in Canada - are you in the US?

I agree too. But I think the REAL reason people should be more choosy about sex is that it's just sad to waste it on entertainment instead of love. THe kind of emptiness I felt when sleeping around was worse than GWs.

original poster - why don't you write an essay or letter about this and send it to Cosmo or GQ?

I agree, I'm 28, and not until now did I know that transimission of this virus was so easily done. I took sex ed classes in college -- WHY wasn't this covered? I'm bitter now when I hear people talk about "Just use a condom and everything will be safe." BULLSH*T!!! I guess I can at least try to educate my friends and social circle on this to try and make a diference.

MAXIM magazine would be a good one too. I swear 50% of that magazine just gives guys tips on how to bed women.

So much attention has been given to HIV that other much more common STIs have been almost forgotten. The mantra is "Use a condom" - but that doesn't always protect a person, in the cases of herpes and HPV.

I've always used a condom. Never NOT used one and here I am. So don't forget you can also get HERPES with "safe sex".

I have shared my story with very good friends and it does help sort of get the word out to little circles here and there. They have become advocates along with me for spreading the word about how easy it is to get this can how it can happen to very nice, careful people.

I am 27 years old and I feel the same way. I didn't consider GW as a risk when I made the decision to have protected sex.

Awesome post. I couldnt agree more. Todays culture is so sexually concentrated that I think most ppl dont even think anything of taking random ppl home with them. Also I agree that HPV shouldn't be pushed aside as it has been. Because of the lack of education about it, it is running rampant and soon I believe everyone will have it.

...and if everybody has it, we won't be wasting our time writing about it. We would then see it as the common cold sore.. nearly everybody has it.
