Well, i always thought having sex without a condom was the stupidist thing you could do and thought not very much of those who did it.
Yes, i went and did it myself, once, and now im paying for it.
It seems I definetly have canadina (thrush) and chlamydia and am booked in to be tested for HIV and other diseases in a few days.
I just wanted to make it clear it can happen to anyone, you don't have to be sleeping with lots of people - before the aforementioned encounter I hadn't had sex in a year and a half.
I was drunk and for some reason didn't care or thought - "it won't happen to me" and it did so for god's sake use a condom. Im wishing I had.
Not to try shock you but im now off to cover my penis in anti-bacterial cream and try ignore the pain in my swollen testicals.

There's always someone worse off than yourself I suppose. Good words there, and I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. I guess someone is smiling down on me as a few years ago I went through a period of pure hedonism where I bedded just about any woman who looked at me more than once. As a result I now have a two year old daughter (who I love to bits) and I vowed to clean up my act there and then.
In that time I've only have sex within legitimate relationships and get regularly tested at the GUM clinic.
I don't want to sound like I'm bragging about anything in particular, just to say that despite how bad someone may feel their sexual habits are now, they can always improve.
Tis a different matter if you're trying to conceive
Thanks for coming on here and giving your experiences, I'm sure a lot of people have been in the same position but were too afraid to talk about it, as getting an infection in the genital region is somehow more unacceptable than getting an infection via inhaling someone's salivary droplets.

But yeh its smart of you to warn everyone about the 'silly' mistakes that everyone makes from time to time.
Its free, its the only way to resssure yourself and your lover--and you can get lotsa free condoms!
I always tell everyone I go and try to make it less of a taboo subject-you guys onhere are much more aware than alot of real life people I know so I know I wouldn't ever preach to you guys! (my silly mate for example who always gets chlamydia and never finishes her pills for it-sill silly girl)
I guess a girl could have thrush and pass that to a guy-does that count-I mean is thrush a sti or not as girls get it all the time (believe me :crying: )
If they've had non penetrative contact there could still be a chance i guess-if the other person even though a virgin has done stuff-such as unsafe blowjobs. But if you mean truely a virgin having not done anything then no-apart from perhaps thrush.
Anyone else know if what I think is true-or a can put it in a better way? I'm not very good at explaining myself!
Well i find it doesn't answer the question directly so it's still a bit confusing. Perhaps the site need to do a bit of editing?
