Yesterday a dermatologist diagnosed me with genital herpes.

I think this is very unlikely (or I may just be in denial) because I only had two sexual partners in my life.

I don't recall girl 1 ever having a cold sore and we always had safe sex.

Girl 2 is my 6 month girlfriend and we have fairly regular unprotected sex. She assured me she was clean when we started having unprotected sex (and I trust her completely) and she doesn't have cold sores.

I have been misdiagnosed before and while searching the internet I was starting to believe I had male thrush (a bit of white discharge and all).

Also this sort of infection had already occurred in late September but worse, but I remember having penis inflammation (I thought it was because of a tight foreskin which eventually got better) even before I lost my virginity.

So what do you think /adv/ is the doctor right?

Girl 2 said she could have gotten it from Brazilian wax place but I find that unlikely and she didn't experience nothing that alarmed her to that possibility.

Also I'm going to do the treatment the doctor prescribed anyway.

You can get it by using a towel that someone else wiped their junk with.

You can also get it while using condoms. Same goes for most STD's... The chances are low but condoms aren't 100% and there's always user error which makes up the majority of transmission while using them.

I recently had a date with a girl that is best friends with some of my (very recently acquired) friends from Uni. I met her on a night out,
we got along well and I thought she was cute. We texted for a bit afterwards, arranged plans to meet. The date was going decently apart from some expected conversation hiccups,
holding hands and other middle school shit ensued. I fucked up in the end, and as someone who has never been on a normal date I thought I HAD to kiss her to make it a
romantic and not friendship thing (keep in mind it definitely was, I specifically asked her for a date not to hang out since not being clear on my intentions was a mistake I made
before so I went lengths too dodge that). She pretty much blocked it and I went for an awkward hug, pretty autistic if I may say so myself, but I think it actually was reasonable as we kissed
goodbye before albeit really short and I think more on my incentive, I may have to work on my reading skills.
We only had a short and awkward conversation right after that before she left, and the only time I texted er afterwards she answered one word and did not try to start a conversation. Since
I did not contact her afterwards for 2 weeks counting today, as I really did not now how to end this properly without making an ape out of myself (which I did by not contacting her I guess).
Overally it actually is not really a bad situation, but it really bugs me. I would have been OK with fucking it up if it werent for her being heavily connected to the people I spend my
time with. I mean that shit happens. I liked her but I was not in love or something.

The problem I have right now is that my friends were all enthusiastic about "setting us up" and shit, one of them actually told me to "not fuck up". I do not want to
look like an idiot in front of them as they are pretty much the only people I have really connected with in Uni. I have not revealed my inexperience with relationships
too them and I did not really plan to do so, as they are all really casual and open about that which I found refreshing and interesting. I am afraid I will be kind of left out if I do so.
I am not a kv, but I am inexperienced, everything that "happened" for me was in the last year and was always very short lived and with people I met just that evening.
I am afraid that I am already pretty much laughing stock now since I am still not very secure about myself, so I pretty much dodged them too for the last weeks, which was easy since
I was not in my city anyways due to appointments.
How do I break this off properly now? I do not intend to pursue this girl anymore since I already feel like I made a joke off myself, but I definitely need to properly come
to terms with this so I can go on, so I do not feel like I can just wait it out. I feel like doing this in a good and reasonable manner is crucial though since my friends are
somehow involved. Any tips? I also had to get this out atleast, I have not talked to anyone about this in a satisfying extent, just shook it off but this new situation (I know I sound
like a 14 year old) makes me very uncomfortable.
>>
You're making too big a deal out of it man. You went in for a kiss, she rejected it and went for the awkward hug, so what? That happens all the time. You didn't do anything weird or embarrassing. If anyone asks you what happened just tell them the truth - "I went in for a kiss, she wasn't into it, so I just never called her back"

It's really not a big deal at all man. Just forget about her and move on. If you're ever forced to interact with her at a social event just be cordial and polite.

Getting rejected isn't some awful reputation-killing deathblow. You handled it gracefully; just leave it be
>>
>>17878711
I feel like I still need to unravel the situation a bit, like putting a line under it not only for myself but also for her. I know she may not care, but that does not feel good for me.

Hey, first time posting here but don't know where else to go for such embarrassing advice. I was wondering if you guys could please post rejection stories/experience/advice on this issue? I am 20 years old and broke up with my long term boyfriend a few months ago, and have since been going crazy with trying to meet new guys since I hadn't experienced much between the ages of 15-20. Met some great guys, but with this has also come a few rejections which I am not used to whatsoever and truly do not know how to deal with. I realize everyone gets rejected at some point or another, but if I could hear about it happening to other people it would be a great help to my self confidence which hangs in the balance. Thanks!

LOL I'm an average looking guy without excellent social skills, my life is pretty much a big rejection.

>saw this girl at college and thought she was perfect
>ended up talking to her for like an hour (while we were both drunk)
>walked her back to her room and said goodbye
>thinking about hitting her up again
>realize she's been kind of avoiding me on campus
>talk to a mutual friend who says she's in love with some other guy

Shit sucks man. But you just gotta move on. There are others out there.
If you think about it from the other way - I knew this girl was into me and I wasn't feeling it. It's not to be mean or anything like that, the attraction just wasn't there. If you look at it from that perspective when you get rejected, that makes it a little easier I think.
>>
>>17878688
I dunno, man. Subpar social skills and pretty average looks are kinda my thing, but I feel you and I do realize I don't have it nearly as bad as others. Keep at it, there are girls who will be into you!

I am 29 years old and three weeks ago I got circumcised. I had been having troubles feeling anything during intercourse with my girlfriend, and I always suspected it had to do with phimosis. I never had trouble cleaning my penis or masturbating, the only thing that happened was that when my penis got erected I was unable to pull the foreskin over the glans.

My urologist said a circumcision would help, and suggested I get a radical, tight one, saying that otherwise the scar tissue my cause another, even worse case of phimosis.

Right now my stitches are beginning to come out and everything looks almost completely healed again. The problem is that I can't masturbate. I get just as aroused as I always did, but it feels like no there's no buttons to push in order to coax myself to climax. No matter where I touch myself, it's not nearly stimulating enough.

I read lots of negative comments about getting circumcised on the internet and now I am a bit worried. To any of you people who are: Did you lose sensitivity after your circumcision? Did it come back at some point? Do you still remember how long it took before you could orgasm again after the operation? Did I just rob myself of a lot of pleasure, or am I overreacting?

You just need lotion/lube to masturbate with now, ya n00b. At 29, how can you be so obtuse?
>>
>>17878658
>>17878658
I did use lube, and I am also aware that I need to relearn masturbating from the ground up now that my foreskin is gone. It's just that even after 2 months of complete abstinence, I have yet to manage to make myself get even remotely close to an orgasm. Even after hours of work.

Long story short, my girlfriend says she feels like I'm suffocating her and I have no one to turn to so naturally I came to the one place where I can get made fun of for it. We've been dating for about 10 months and it is long distance for now. She did visit here in July for 2 weeks and it was the best time I've ever had and she says the same. We've already talked about possibly tying the knot when she graduates college and she is very happy when the topic gets brought up. She's a pretty avid gamer like myself and we often play games together with either my or her friends. Lately, she's been very distant with me. When I try to initiate conversation or what not, it usually ends up with her being mad or just her showing how uninterested she is in talking. I confronted her about it last night and she said she has been acting different even at work and she says she doesn't know why. We video chat almost constantly, but when she goes to play games with other people, I miss her and sometimes say things like "go play with your real friends." Joking but not joking ya know. Just my relationship anxiety getting the better of me.

I've been in a lot of destructive relationships in the past, and I try not to let that affect my current one, but it still does sometimes. She's a really good girl and I want to believe she has only good intentions, but she says she feels I'm suffocating her and she says I make her feel guilty when she's not spending time with me. What should I do? Am I just a shitty lover who needs to back off and that's it? I know my info is vague and I'll answer any questions that I can. Thanks in advance :)

She's bored of either you, the long distance relationship, or both. Anything you do will turn her off more. Sorry but you're in a dying relationship

>she says she feels I'm suffocating her and she says I make her feel guilty when she's not spending time with me. What should I do? Am I just a shitty lover who needs to back off and that's it?

Yes. Guilting people into spending time with you will always push them away. If you want to keep her, you'll give her her space and freedom. If she goes to hang out with other people, tell her to have fun (genuinely; not in a faggot passive agressive way) and you'll talk later. Let her initiate/text you back, and don't blow up her inbox while she's away.

Carrying on like you are is only going to get you dumped.

Don't cut yourself on that edge OP

Walking away from arguments, from shitty situations, from sources of stress.


If a girl or acquaintance is getting on my nerves, I just ghost, walk away and cut contact. If I come across someone with a fundamentally different world view than me, I just let them do their thing and walk away from any "debate". If I'm on a project going south, I'll still do the work, but I'll mentally check out and not give a shit if it succeeds or fails.

I feel like I'm taking the "do your own thing" mentality to an extreme and creating a bubble for myself by just ignoring the world around me as I see fit. On one hand I'm becoming more comfortable with being myself and owning my identity, but on the other hand it's a bit isolating.

Is there merit to argue with people who will never change their minds? Is there any benefit to stress myself out over things I can't control?

>>
>>17878609
It's allright to keep yourself away from needless stress and fools who will bring nothing of value to your life.
But the problems happen when you close yourself off entirely. Conflict for its own sake is bad, but ignoring/fleeing from problems instead of trying to fix them is not okay either.
>>
>>17878609
Conflict builds character. Youre not willing to face conflict, then you're not gonna mature as an adult. You need ti learn to reason with other people and be willing to see things from their perspectives, so you can understand why theyre all acting like a bunch of fucking retards.

( posting one more time to see if I can get some more feedback) hi /adv/, I'm at a crossroads in my life right now, I've kinda been farting my way though school, or at least high school to the present, which would be middle of Sophomore year of college. the Uni i'm attending right now is pretty good school and it's not cheap either. like I said my grades have been shitty, and I kinda bombed my freshman year to a degree. this semester was my chance to kinda turn things around, but I just got part of my grades back today and things are looking pretty grim, however I have a few papers to still turn in, so things could still turn around. Thing is, whether or not I can stay, something needs to change. Like I said, I feel like i'v been farting my way through school, not giving a rat's ass. Don't get me wrong I want to graduate, however I don't think I'm working as hard as should for a $60,000 yearly tuition. I also don't think it's fair to my self from a moral perspective or my family if i'm just shitting away their money under the pretense that i'm "trying". I also think it would be incredibly beneficial to have a change of pace, help me develop some new outlooks on life. my question to ya'll is what should do? military isn't out of the question, however it's not my first choice either. I've been thinking about working as a roustabout on a rig in the gulf possibly, the works hard, but it pays really well for that kind of work I hear. Or should I throw myself back at the grinder and attend community college, work my but off and hopefully transfer to a better school? what do ya'll think? (pic semi related)

Holy shit OP, are you literally me? I am going through the exact same thing. Also considered the military.
>>
>>17878967
What service? What corps? If you want advice, try /k/ on this.
>>
>>17878603
Contracts suck, generally speaking. Maybe you are ok with them, but I would feel uncomfortable with a stipulation that tells me I can't even leave my job.

Oil rig work pays "well" because it's shit work. Maybe you would enjoy it though, who knows before you try.

If you don't know what you want to do with your life, you need to try as many things as possible. My parents made me promise not to sign up for a military until I finished my undergraduate, and I would say it is good advice. The feelings you have now are temporary and don't require such a permanent "solution" like dropping out.

My advice: don't drop out. Get a lab job, or job in your or another interesting faculty on campus. My entire outlook on my major/school turned around literally in the final semester, when I first did "real" work in my field (geology). Look for an internship, network more. Some of my friends took a semester off because they were very depressed, maybe consider that. I more or less did the same, but unofficially (I just stopped really "attending" most of my sophomore year)

Don't worry about your grades so much, the purpose should be self-development.

How do I stop my irrational anxiety? I'm a bisexual guy who plays overwatch, and when I found out tracer was gay I was happy for her, but when I saw how people were aggressive towards people who were against it I got anxious: what if I were against it? I get these irrational thoughts all the time, I'm afraid of being hated by people.
How do I cure anxiety? Weed? Suicide?

OR: How Do I Stop Comparing Myself to Others?

I constantly base my self-worth around my successes in life based on some imaginary countdown or timer.

I feel ashamed for being 19 and
>never had any sort of relationship (kissless virgin)
>living with parents while my peers all live on their own
>still being skinny and not eating enough
>working at a minimum wage job, earning shit while (you guessed it) my friends have better and higher paying jobs
>not having a worthwhile hobby
And I have trouble picking up hobbies because I know I won't be not-shit until I'm 24~ even if I start at this second.

How can I stop worrying, /adv/? Thanks

I can't make you stop worrying, but I can tell you that you are worrying about things that are not really important.

At 19 you are still very much a child, and I don't mean that in a condescending manner. When I was that age I thought I was completely grown up as well, but the next years to come are generally the most exciting and you are going to change and develop as a person a lot. I'm glad I didn't make any extreme or live-changing decisions at 19, even when from a purely legal standpoint I could have, because in hindsight I realized that I still wasn't sure enough of who I was and who I wanted to be.

Living with your parents at 19 is something I consider perfectly normal, and the kissless virgin aspect is something that is overblown as well. I keep reading that teens today lose their virginity earlier and earlier, but I honestly doubt that that includes any meaningful sexual encounters. I lost my virginity when I was 24, and now at 28 I'm still together with the same girl and the intimacy still gets more exciting. Losing my virginity back then was a big deal for me because I was able to tell myself "Done it! Now I'm part of the initiated circle", but the sex back then sucked compared to what I experience today.

Personally I can't relate how being skinny is something to worry about. You don't need to have the body of an athlete unless that is something you really want to. Also no one expects you to have a career at 19. I spent ten years in university and had a relatively shitty paying job on the side the entire time, and those were some great years.

Lastly, a hobby is something that you are supposed to enjoy. It's not about being the best at it, it's about doing something that you like. The journey is where all the fun is, and as long as you are having a good time, it doesn't matter how good you become in a hobby.
>>
I didn't lose my virginity until I was 20. Now I'm 23 and have had 8 sexual partners. Relax. Go to the gym if you don't feel attractive.

I also lived with my parents til I was 22. I saved money to pay off my student loan faster. Now it's paid off. Do what you need to do to keep your head above water.

Having a minimum wage at your age is not that unusual. Just don't consider yourself doomed to that wage. Develop skills, and improve yourself.

Stop whining about having no hobbies. Pick one, and enjoy it. It might take a while for you to really get into it.

Long story short:
>Relationship in May 2015
>She went to Taiwan for exchange in Feb 2016
>Broke up with me in March 2016
>Went separate ways
>She had an accident in summer. broke her back
>Contacted her a bit, afterwards cut off all contact again
>Have no contact anymore since October 2016
>Still wonder every now and then how she is doing, if she misses me, etc.

Why do these things happen? I made a decision for myself not to contact her anymore, and even while I am still (very fresh) seeing someone else, I keep getting reminded of her in a lot of ways.

What do I do with this stuff? Getting back doesn't seem like a good option because we already had major differences.

Time is all that will help. Eventually you think about her less and less until shes just the the girl you dated a couple of years ago. Create goals to pursue and be more open about meeting new women and you'll be fine.

Is it generally a bad thing for a relationship to sleep/have sex with the person the first time you meet?

I really REALLY like this girl and I just got out of a break up and so did she. we've talked about sex, we've talked about so many random things over text and before that through messages on POF.

At first I knew she didn't want to, and now I think she might want to.

Depends what you want out of it.

Personally, I'd never be able to have any respect for a girl who gives it up before the third date.
At the very least it indicates poor impulse control, which instantly invalidates her as a potential partner for a serious relationship to me.
No respect = no relationship, but it's fine for a hit and run if you have any interest in that kind of thing (just use a condom, because if the access to her pussy is easy for you, it will have been easy for others before you too).

But why are you even asking us about something as personal as this? It's your life, do with it as you see fit.
>>
>>17878488
I think so, personally. I prefer to take things a bit slower. I prefer people who do as well. But it's your life; it's subjective. I like long-term, slow-burn relationships more than brief explosive flings... usually, anyway.
>>
>>17878515
>At the very least it indicates poor impulse control
That is assuming she actually -wants- to save it and is not genuinely okay with having sex as soon as she feels like having it.

Then your sexual morals might not be compatible but it doesn't say anything about her impulse control.

I found old messages from 4 years back between my ex and me. I was bored so I read through them thinking it's not going to make me feel like shit. Well, I was wrong. I ended up missing her and it feels as though we just broke up recently now with how horrible I'm feeling. Should I just delete the messages now and how do I feel better?
