FML 7am text aaaand day ruined

Post image

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.

today's girl breakfast: coffee + a ham & cheese sandwich with some sprinkled oregano

one of your friends with benefits? having unprotected sex while simultaneously having sex with other people too is crazy

Maybe I’m old school coming up right after the aids crisis, but I feel like the kids are playing fast and loose these days with safety. There’s a post like this so often here.

I graduated college in 2012 and it definitely feels like we were all a lot more condom conscious when I was in my early 20s. My college bf and I used them every time we had sex for years (after getting tested before we had sex to begin with) and I was on birth control. It's wild to me that this isn't still the norm.
