How easy is it to catch genital herpes? Will a condom offer much protection? Frankly, I'm pretty confident about a condom's ability to protect against HIV, and the other main nasty STDs out there. But Herpes, I've heard all you have to do is come in contact with the skin of the infected person and now you've got it for life. You can't be stroking away between a girl's legs and not have you skin touch hers down there. Condoms wouldn't do crap in that case. That scares the sh*t out of me. I'm herpes(oral and genital) free, and don't want to have that crap for life. How do you avoid it?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Avoid it by taking a blood sample from her on your first date.
perform some lab tests on it, maybe some PCR to search for herpes virus dna
if its positive, forget about it
if it's negative, hit it on your second date
may take a few days. its good though shows ur not desperate for 2nd date

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Only someone who's never had sex would ask that question. Once you have sex, its definately worth the risk. The only way to avoid it is to live like a monk, not reality, its just one of those things that you have to accept that you have a 20% chance of getting no matter what. But don't waste your valuable energy worrying about it cuz its not going to get you anywhere.Maxwell said:
If you have had sex with more than five women, chances are you have rolled the dice at least once. My number is higher than that, so I have most deifinitely been in contact with a female who has it, but I'm clean, and I'm not gonna sweat it and let it ruin my life.
I actually had a "scare" awhile back. After I fukked a chick who rode me REAL hard, a few days later I got what looked to me like a bunch of infected hairs. Went to doc to have it checked just to make sure, but came back negative. I must have gotten some infected hair follicles since she was grinding on me so hard.
I was pretty relieved, but even if the tests came back positive it isn't the end of the world. Don't let fear rule your life.

Awesome.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Same here, neg also. Just a bony ass causing some ingrown hairs but ditto on that not the end of the world, from my understanding for most people with normal immune systems it's just not much of an issue, like someone said, essentially a cold sore once in a while.STR8UP said:
Oral herpes and gential herpes are two different viruses. I don't think you can get gental herpes by getting a blow by a girl with oral herpes. I could be wrong though. I'd ask an expert.cant think of a user name said:
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

CDC says yes, different viruses, and no, you can get either in either place, either one can infect any mucous membrane.speakeasy said:

one and two are the same virus, just different strains, which means 1 is less severe than 2... and you can spread either strain to either place. (( just like i did))speakeasy said:
heck, you can spread them to your eye if you aren't careful. (thats called ocular herpes)
How easy is it to get herpes if the girl has no visible outbreak signs? We've all just made out with some random chic we met at a club or party I'm sure and then never saw again. I wonder how risky that is. And if she has genital herpes in her bloodstream, will kissing you pass that into your body?
RE: Herpes
sorry but you can get herpes even using a condom.. a cold sore on the mouth can give you herpes on your **** or in your mouth or even your eyes and herpes on the genitals can give you a cold sore on the mouth (which is herpes) or eye herpes - just touch an open herpes or cold sore and you can spread it to other places. Sorry for the bad news - you may want to become a monk and I don't think a condom is gonna save you from HIV either if you perform oral sex and you have an open cut in your mouth or an open cut on a finger and do a dirty deed- you could also contract HIV I believe... learned this through Nursing pr ogram from VA years ago.

ogram from VA years ago.Condoms are effective against the herpes virus because it cannot pass through latex. You are at practically 100% risk of getting herpes when you make skin contact with outbreaks. That's how the virus spreads itself.blue08 said:sorry but you can get herpes even using a condom.. a cold sore on the mouth can give you herpes on your **** or in your mouth or even your eyes and herpes on the genitals can give you a cold sore on the mouth (which is herpes) or eye herpes - just touch an open herpes or cold sore and you can spread it to other places.

HIV spreads through direct blood contact. Like through tiny cuts.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
