the Charles Nelson Reilly bio/documentary has been held up for years, but seems to now be finding its way to the public.

Why isn't that vaccine just given as part of the usual set of shots kids get in the first few years of life? Or will it be in a couple of years when 6 is the new 12.

So the logical inference is "no condoms work better"?

For a twelve year old? Logic has nothing to do with it.

Depends on the person. Some people generally carry the virus asymptomatically and have occassional flare ups that are relatively easy to manage. Others flare up more often and more severely. My understanding about this particular case was that the flareup was pretty awful. Around the area of her crotch, throughout the entire external and internal vaginal area, on the cervix. Very painful, very persistant, and more flareups than my friend commenly sees in herpes cases. Women tend to get worse cases then men. I know someone who claims that she can control her outbreaks via her diet, but I don't know if there's clinical evidence of effacacy.

Medscape article on herpes simplex. Sounds pretty awful.

Bravo.

Flower, you live in fucking Minnesota. Glass houses, dude?

Weird that I was taught all about abortion, when it wasn't even legal at the time.

It seems like my sex-ed was pretty comprehensive, but younger people that I talk to these days got next to nothing. Did my generation get well-educated because of the AIDs crisis of the early-to mid-80s? When the 90s came, did everyone think that the crisis was over and it was fine to revert back to ignorance? I didn't have sex until I was 15, but I knew all about AIDs, herpes, gonorhea, syphilis, chlamydia, abortion and birthcontrol thanks to school sex-ed when I starting having it. Maybe it was just because I was in Canada.

That's probably it.

Although I tend to think the same thing. My sex ed was pretty good, starting at least in 8th grade, although there was "health" education before that but I don't specifically remember the topics.

But I think my schooling was before the big push for "abstinance only" sex ed. And it was Minnesota.

Glass houses are too cold for Minnesota.

I think so too, because I knew all of that stuff as well. Someone pretty much convinced me that I'd catch all sorts of things unless condoms were on and that I'd be pregnant on the first try if I wasn't using some sort of birth control.

I went to catholic school through eighth grade, but our biology class was pretty comprehensive on the "how babies are made". I vaguely recall someone with a banana and a condom as early as sixth or seventh grade, but maybe that was my parents making sure that I had good sex ed. In my freshman year of high school, I learned all of that stuff again with more details and the absolute stress of condom use.

The first time I had sex with someone who didn't immediately pull out a condom, I was shocked. Of course, I had my own, but it never occurred to me that everyone else didn't immediately associate casual sex=condom. My boyfriend still finds condoms all over the house and in every piece of luggage.
