Thread title perfectly fine . Your OP not.

If you want genuine reponses then phrase your OP appropriately.

I had a male friend who bragged about having gonorrhoea - he used to be in the merchant navy

greenelizabeth · 19/06/2008 20:36

my x bil had something and claimed he had to have an umbrella put up his penis.

he seemed to enjoy telling the tale.

people sharing their sexploits after about 30 gets a bit "tmi dahling".

Let me tell you about mine

sherby · 19/06/2008 20:37

Monkeytrousers · 19/06/2008 20:38

you were a little insensitive in your wording, cod, I think. Lots of people feel (unnecessarily but genuinely) ashamed and humiliated by catching an STD. Or it's the ghastly result of a painful betrayal.

So cross you dind't rise to provincial matron..

apparently it was more like a cocktail umbrella that they 'put up' inside him.

A friend of mine had to have anti-biotics because she got chlamydia from her boyfriend. She has only had 3 boyfriends and one of them became her husband, so totally bad luck. I deserved it more than she did.

morningpaper · 19/06/2008 20:41

and you can put that on your blog, I've told everyone

especially now that juggling-boyfriend is now a professional dancer and quite a few people seem to know him

onebatmother · 19/06/2008 20:41

Oh don't be so sensitive, Cod.

Or do be, and assume therefore that others are equally sensitive.

I found out i had genital warts when i labour with dd1 the cheating scumbag of a father had given them to me and quite obviously i couldn't see them with a huge bump in the way! Fortunately they never returned.

I got one years ago. It was so unfair as all my friends were sleeping about all over the place and I slept with one guy and he gave me herpes. He said he hadn't a clue he had had it, only that his ex-girlfriend used to get coldsores. I was plunged into a very deep depression, I felt my life was over. Felt like a lepper. That I should wear a cowl and ring a bell where ever I went, shouting 'unclean'. It took me years to get over it. I thought I'd never have sex again, have a boyfriend, anything. I was utterly devestated by it.

morningpaper · 19/06/2008 20:47

Why are people ashamed of it?

I thought we were allowed to have sex these days

onebatmother · 19/06/2008 20:48

Not sure we have Greggs in central London - will research.

FrannyandZooey · 19/06/2008 20:48

oi oi oi we don't just take anyone on fruit loops you know

Monkeytrousers · 19/06/2008 20:49

Sorry Cod, could have gone two ways though. Went the good way thankfully.

Monkeytrousers · 19/06/2008 20:49

I haev seen one OBM...actually, that might have been wandsworth.

sherby · 19/06/2008 20:50

I'm not ashamed, I was stupid should've used cover and didn't
