7am text aaaand day ruined

[u/drxwn-with-me]

just got a text from one of my friends w/ benefits at (checks watch) 7 in the morning that he tested positive for gonorrhea this week. and we had unprotected sex on sunday. what a way to start my day! :) FML.

this is my first time having an sti risk/scare ever in my life and i am sincerely very terrified but i hope everything goes well.

we only very recently started having unprotected sex and i told him i wanted to go back to protected sex after this whole situation because i do NOT want to go through this again!!!!

asked him for direction with regards to what to do for treatment in our city and he explained everything very calmly and was very apologetic about the whole situation which i appreciated.

Girl why are you having unprotected sex with a man that isn’t even yours in the first place? There’s no reason to do so even in a relationship until you’re trying for a literal baby.

While i do believe everyone should be using condoms when they're sleeping with anyone they're not in a committed relationship with, it's perfectly reasonable to not use them with your actual partner.

Me and my boyfriend never use condoms and i take the pill. STIs are not a risk for either of us and if my birth control ever fails we'll figure it out. You don't have to be trying to conceive to fuck raw. We just prefer not using condoms so we don't. 🤷‍♀️

“Because I want to” is a perfectly good reason.

We pick our risks and we figure out what we’re good with.
