Thanks for all the replies. This can be a hard lesson when you get burned and it takes a year to clear. I always thought A Good Old Fashion Job Was Enough but I feel it has changed. Are the extras related to a certain age group since my bad experience was in my 20s vs no knowledge in my 60s. ---

So did you get gonorrhea or something? To answer what I think was your question: No, STD’s are pretty similar to what they were decades past. It’s best to wrap your tool if you’re porkin’ an unknown quantity… ---

You can buy all kinds of condoms online if you don’t want to go to the drugstore. Also, check out dental dams. Never hurts to be prepared. ---

I learned a tuff lesson doubled protected with condoms. I never dreamed of what was going on in the urban areas. I got a hint during my first experience after HS when my friend probably thought I had been exposed. We wore out my car’s seats in many dark areas as I was only to give her rides vs dating. The hint was to go as long as I wanted and as many times but with two condoms on, always came out before ejaculating and no kissing. That was “OUR” agreement 4 yrs before remaining as friends ONLY. Both of us knew this could be a life or death matter with our parents if any medical issues appeared. In the Urban life, sex had no limits and I allowed too much to happen using my condoms in virginas Only. I feel the contact in other places and germs cost me a shot monthly and lab tests until the infection or whatever cleared. Thinking it was “gonorrhea or something” I went for testing and took any recent contacts with me or told them to get tested. I was referred to a specialist when the discharge reappeared w/o any sexual contact in days-weeks. After at least 6 monthly lab test and injections I was cleared. Afterwards I d/n ask how I c/h contracted Prostatitis but the specialist assured me he could clear the discharge. I have not seen any symptoms since 1970 but felt the urban experiences played a part. After 1970 I slowed and only allowed sex in the right place “IMO” on her and me for my peace of mind. ---

I don’t know what “the urban areas” or “urban life” means. Is that sex with black people? Nor have I ever heard of using a condom in virginias only. I don’t even have a guess as to what that might mean. ---

Well, they do say “Virginia is for lovers”… I think you should use condoms in all 50 states. Yep, even the non-contiguous ones. I’d even go so far as to use your condoms in other countries! ---
