Or, here go any hopes I might have had of nailing a Doperette.
Way back in the middle of November, after a few too many drinks, a buddy of mine suggested we, uh, “tag team” his girlfriend. Figuring that the odds of me getting laid by any female any time soon were pretty slim, I said, “What the hell.” and went for it.
Now, he tells me that she’s developed genital warts. I was “sheathed” for the operation, except for when she performed oral sex on me. So, what’s the likelihood that I need to haul my ass to the doc over this? I’ve not had any symptoms, but I know that its possible to be infected with this and not show any signs.
Having researched this topic a bit for a friend (really! A friend… he found out his new GF had herpes, and came to me for advice…), I’d say haul your carcass to a doctor. You say you were “sheathed” for the operation, but it is still possible that you could have been exposed to shed virus at the base of your penis. How likely it is that you WERE exposed to shed virus depends on a lot of things.
Frankly, I think you’re safe; but if you DO have it, that fact is something that you are going to want to know!
Assuming (perhaps unreasonably) that your friend’s GF makes a habit of this sort of thing, then it seems entirely possible that she contracted them after your encounter.
A doctor can’t check for it unless you’re showing symptoms. But you may have it, and be contagious, without symptoms.
If you just want to go with the intent of asking the doctor questions about it (a consultation as it were) though, knock yourself out.
There are several variations of this particular virus (IANAD, by the way) and wearing a condom doesn’t necessarily prevent you from catching it–as was mentioned previously. From what I’ve read, if you have it you always carry the virus but it’s not contagious unless you happen to have warts at the time–there is no cure for this virus, they can only treat the warts when/if they appear. Some women only have cervical warts (another variation of this virus), so if that’s the case with her the condom should have protected you.
Again, see your doctor about this. The virus can be dormant for many months before it manifests itself, so you can’t really know when she developed it.
There are plenty of web sites with plenty of information, but some of it is contradictory and may scare you tremendously when what you really need is to know what’s going on in your body–your own doctor can give you that. I hope this helps. Good luck, Tuckerfan!
Wash the penis. Soak penis in vinegar, and wipe of the excess. Turn off the lights, shine the blacklight on the area. Inspect genital region with magnifying glass, looking for any discontinuities.
…also, if you invest in a good quality blacklight you can use it for many other applications. Dried semen will glow under a blacklight if the room is dark enough. You can use this knowledge to inspect a motel room prior to sleeping there.
You might find semen on the pillowcase, on the carpet, the drapes, all over the sheets, etc. You’ll be glad you bought it!
I don’t know. It might do nothing more than increase one’s anxiety quotient considerably. In some cases, there might be a limit to how useful more knowledge be.
when one is inspecting motel rooms with blacklights, how does one know whether the glowing is caused from semen, or phosphates in the detergents used to clean the sheets and pillow cases? I mean, its fun to shine blacklights on your friends pants and scream “Man Juice!!!,” but its usually not.
