Or, more precisely, look what my brother caught! I’ve been dying to tell someone, but didn’t know who. I now know. YOU! I know I have no way of getting caught because my brother doesn’t have a computer and has no desire to check this message board, if he even know it exists. My brother told me that he’d had dark urine and it was painful to pee. I thought he’d had a bladder/kidney infection because I’d had a girlfriend who seemed to get these things on a regular basis. He thought so too (he watched ‘The Green Mile’ and came to that conclusion.) Doc tells him it’s not a bladder infection. Ha ha. Breaks out the SMALL cotton swab. Takes a culture. OF HIS URETHRA! Ok, I’m not laughing at his pain, because I’m sure it hurts, and I’m not big on pain myself. I’m laughing because he’s the one that told me the importance of wearing a condom. This was after I told him I’d had sex with over 9 women, all of which were unprotected (except one) at some point. He’s 22, I’m 26 (soon 27.) I’ve never had a disease, because I never had sex with someone that I didn’t trust. I think he’s got Chymidia. (hears clapping) He’s embarrassed. I think it’s funny, because I’ve had more women than he, and he’s got a disease. I don’t have to worry about getting a disease because I’ve found the one for me, and I know that she’ll never stray from me, and I will never stray from her. He’s on medication, and I’m on beer. I love it. Of course I’m sad, because he’s got something. But, I have to say that it’s a bit funny that the person giving me instructions on ‘safe sex’ is the one with the disease now. Is this funny, or am I just a bit disturbed? disreguard, I know I’m disturbed… ---

I dunno, Brood. It’s great to have the last word, but I wouldn’t wish an STD on anyone. ---

no no, i’m not happy, but i do think it is ironic that someone tells me about condom use and then falls because of lack of condom. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Brood McEto \* > **I think he’s got Chymidia. (hears clapping)** But “the clap” is gonorrhea, not chlamidia! Not that I’d know from personal experience, of course (shut up, I came of age in the late 70’s, okay??). At least those are ones that can be cured, so I guess he’s lucky. I sincerely hope one of the untreatable diseases doesn’t turn up later. ---

Uh, chlamydia. Brood, show a little mercy on your brother. Chlamydia’s no fun. Personal experience? Yes… learned it myself in a human sexuality class at UH. 😃 ---

Having unprotected sex with 9 women is hardly anything to be proud of either. ‘Trust’ is NOT an effective form of protection against STD’s, many of which are nearly impossible to detect. I wouldnt be too smug if I were you. ---

**Yeah!** What she said.
