| No sex for me in college and very little before I met my husband. I knew he could tell my lack of experience when I gave him my first BJ. Thankfully he was very patient and a good teacher. I do regret not having more experience but I’m ok with it. |
Not the pp or the other pp discussing this but FYI condoms do not protect against HPV. Previous pp-you are describing gentian warts that may or may not be caused by HPV. Most people with HPV never have genital warts. And you don’t need to be “run through” to get HPV as literally almost the entire population has it at least once in their lifetime. And if a married guy all the sudden needs ablation from genital warts and he has only been with his wife tat is obviously a different kind of problem he needs to look into. A urologist cannot tell how many people you or your partner has slept with by an std you have. People have gotten stds from their one and only partner (obviously the other person not so much). |
Condoms provide a very good protection against HPV. Maybe not 100% but for me (I used condoms religiously and asked men for vaccination proof) it worked. Of course, condoms are not entirely protection from many STDs the best way is regular testing, vaccinations and avoiding fluid/skin contact with unknown partners. I did the combination of all of it |
condoms only protect between 60-77% for HPV. and how are you asking for HPV vaccination proof when the vaccine only came out fairly recently and isn’t routinely offered to adults?-in fact you couldn’t even get it over a certain age until a couple of years ago. And still men are typically not even offered it (boys up to a certain age are given the vaccine now). It’s too recent for you to have been asking and getting this information with any kind of success unless you are like 25. also HPV is not included in standard std batteries. I am a woman and they test for it when I have my annual pap smear but that was also only in the last 5 years or so that they began testing for that yearly. |
previous pp here and that should say-genital warts obviously. |
| 1. I married my first at 20. But by our mid-twenties, we were miserable together. Looking back, we were a terrible match. I've left my religion, the one that made me believe that sex outside of marriage is a sin second only to murder, and I hope my kids "sleep around" in college while they are figuring themselves out, and that they wait to get married. |
I disagree with your statements. I got vaccinated first in 2008. The vaccine is available for almost 20 years. I also was tested for HPV routinely in Europe in 1990s (for cancerous types). Men can ask for vaccine and pay out of pocket. There are men I would sleep with. Those who are not using condoms/anti vaxxes can pass by. |
How did all of you desperate incels find DCUM? It used to me so much more fun when only the smart people were here. |
You disagree with the scientific statistic of how effective condom use is for HPV? ok then. Also-did you only date very rich guys in college? That they were all willing to go pay out of pocket for an HPV test that actually doesn’t work and exist? If you use your friend google-you will see that there is no clinically approved HPV test for men. And the only way they are diagnosed is with symptoms. Are there “tests” for it sure-but they are not considered reliable. |
No, I disagreed with your statements that women only began being screened regularly 5 years ago because I clearly was able to ask for that testing annually in (a not very wealthy) European country in late 1990s. They screened me for cancerous HPV 16, 18 and 44 types, I believe. Vaccination is available from 2006. I used condoms with men I slept with and yes, I only slept with men of certain SES even back in college. And condoms do protect pretty well (70% is good enough if you are selective who you sleep with and inspect his equipment for warts). You just threw in a couple of new well known facts in your last message ( that men are not tested for HPV and only treated for symptoms- that is correct). |
After we split, I learned about like 5-6 other scenarios where she was unfaithful during our relationship. I really was pretty naive and trusting. And, I passed up some really hot girls along the way. I’m not complaining, my current wife is wonderful and I couldn’t have done better for myself. Its just that I missed a lot of great opportunities to be faithful to someone who was never faithful to me. |
| A lot. More than my husband did. But been faithful for over 30 years. |
You said you required an HPV test from men that you slept well and they paid out of pocket for it. But that test is not a thing-so you made that part up. |

Where did I say I required HpV test from men? I required vaccination |
So let me get this straight. You required men who you were going to sleep with to go pay out of pocket for a vaccine (which doesn’t tell you if they already have HPV) and you think that vaccine goes into effect immediately upon them receiving it? Got it. So glad it worked out for you. |
