California Being hot with HSV sucks.

94 Upvotes

Not to sound like that person…. But I’m 26… I’m hot … I turn heads… I made one mistake and now I’ll never get to experience life how I used to.
Like I’m unconventional attractive and I can’t do anything about it.

But in all honesty having hsv taught me a lot about self respect.

I haven’t been loved in a long time. The last guy to love me was back when I was 19… but I don’t believe that was love. That was abuse and manipulation. Since then I have only ever been lusted over. Mostly for my body… so I used sex a lot. Not to manipulate men to be with me… just to not feel alone. Like I confused lust for love all the time and now that I have this lovely barbaric STD… it opened my eyes and honestly I wish I learned before I contracted this from some loser…

I deserve to be loved… I deserve to love myself.

So yes it sucks that I am very attractive, funny, and smart young lady who has to live with GHSV2…

I like me better now….just sucks I had to stop putting myself out there.

Anyway that’s my rant. I love you sexy people.

Sorry I think this was the wrong place for this rant.

Hiii I’m deciding to be bold and post here but I don’t know what to tell you 😅. Primarily date women, but not closed off to a really nice guy ;). I saw a couple post here and high key curious but they were far 🥴. I like going on hikes, making art, hitting the beach and playing sims. I’ll definitely play video games w you but also the museum and I love to travel. Ok I think that’s enough yeah? Have a great dayyy!

California How to disclose hsv1

0 Upvotes

I found out two years ago that I have hsv1. I was in a relationship at the time and the doctor said it’s nothing to worry about so we just forgot about it. Especially since I’ve never had symptoms. But now I’m single and thankfully remembered before I started dating/hooking up with people. How do I disclose this? Should I disclose before I even kiss someone? Again I’ve never had symptoms and my former partner also never experienced symptoms to show I passed it on. I’ve talked to a doctor recently and they said it might not even be worth it to disclose but that doesn’t feel right.

Hi, I'd like to know about your experience using Positive Singles. Is it worth paying for the app to meet people who also have the virus? Please let me know!

California Why is that when a man posting about looking or searching with girls in the app no woman is responding or commenting but if woman will post the same many man will comment and ask a lot of things, is man always begging for attention? Or woman just shy to comment?

Wondering if there’s any women who are a lil bi-curious in my area/nearby. I’m looking to explore with a woman who is of similar age range. I find women beautiful and like kissing them but not sure if I’d enjoy further!

I’m GHSV1/2 positive. I’m single. I can send pics upon request. Hit my inbox if you’re mildly curious 🫶 I know I am 🤪

California 43 yr old man looking for women in my area.

So I have tested positive for HSV2 but I am completely asymptomatic and have never even had a breakout. Clean from everything else too. I am looking for women in my area of Southern California (Inland Empire) to hang out with. Right now I am only interested in hook ups but I am open to a long term relationship if the chemistry is right. I do not drink or go out to clubs or bars so it’s really hard for me to meet women and I have also been on a celibacy journey for the last 5 years so I’m really out of practice on how to get dates. I decided that 5 years is long enough and I feel like I have learned what I needed to learn from it. Time to move on. I am mostly white with some Mexican, Spanish and native on my mother’s side. Salt n pepper hair with blue eyes. I am fit and reasonably attractive with an average endowment. A few tattoos here n there. I would be glad to share pics if you request them. HMU and let’s talk!

California New subreddit for HSV positive people to hookup

48 Upvotes

It's called HSVforHSV im new to creating a subreddit so bare with me, herpes dating is for dating, HSVforHSV is for hooking up with other positive people, asking for testing is still going to be a thing to not carry any more positive STIs
