    When most speak of herpes we dont mean cold sores … we mean the blistering crotch infestation.

      Just 1 part of the misunderstandings. Both can go to either area even if they are typically found in their respective ones.

      Further, most who have herpes, even in the crotch region, will still show no recognizable symptoms and be difficult to test for.

      Again, especially considering that condoms are not practically effective for preventing spread, and the results are typically not the horrendous cases you’ll have remembered, the stigma still isn’t worth it.

      I mean, I suppose you could osculate and perform cunnilingus with dental damns, fellatio with condoms and no contact, and copulate and or engage in anal coitus in full body latex, but let’s be real, because you won’t be doing that, and most people who have it wont know they do, its the stigma that’s the biggest problem; the same fear that drives knee-jerk reactions.
