I get cold sores. my boyfriend does not. I had a cold sore and he kissed me, then performed oral sex. could that have given me herpes?

Maybe it would be a good idea to have a seperate category for sex questions – people have some very interesting questions here but there are other issues that are worth discussing and it is somewhat difficult to filter through with all of these sexual related questions — just a thought.

A. only have sex with someone you know very well

B.only have sex with someone who promises to be disease -free

C.practice sexual abstinence

D.take prophylactic medication

only if you know plzz

i haven’t had sex in a while and i developed a bump that looks like a pimple/cyst on my area and i think all it is is an ingrown hair and that i’m probably over reacting but you can’t be too careful. i will say this i haven’t ever had symptoms of having genital herpes and haven’t had an outbreak of bumps down there before so that’s why i think it may just be an ingrown hair.

i noticed that over a course of three 1/2 years my cycles have been irregular but now whats happening is rediculous! my body is doing what it would normally do if i were to have a period.

IM TIRED, STOMACH CRAMPS, AND HEADACHES! but not one sign on a period comes out.

now i havent gotten a period sine june of this year, and now when i try to have sex i can barely seem to get moist enough for intercourse, any suggestions for my problem? and being pregnant is out of the question becuase i cant have kids

i havent had sex that long i lost my virginity at the beginning of the year. i have sex almost everyday but i cant seem to get wet at all. me and my partner engage in a lot of foreplay before we do the deed. even when i masturbate i still get nothing. my partner is super cheap and wont invest in lube how can i get wet? or is this a possible doctors vistit?
im 21 lol btw

Can you get an STD if your partner isn’t infected?

im not sure what to think. I have heard so many different things about std’s. i heard that you can contract certain kinds of std’s from sitting on public toilets. Is this true? if it is, which ones?

I had to have a hysterectomy 8 years ago due to endometriosis. That did not stop my problems as not all of the endometriosis was removed. Eventually it blocked my ureters and I went into kidney failure. After that I experienced more surgeries and had to be on dialysis until 2004. I am married with one child. Before my endometriosis my husband and I had a normal sex life. Since 2000 my sex life is non existent. We tried it a few times but because I had atrophied to the point where penetration was impossible we quit trying. I am physically unable to have sex now and all the hormones and lubricants in the world have not helped. My doctor’s do not think it is a big deal and have not been helpful at all. I do not know where to find someone to help me. I am only in my 40′s but I may as well be in my 100″s sexually. Has anyone else had similar problems and how have you solved your inability to have sexual intercourse?
