E: possibly dumb qq, but HPV gives noticeable symptoms? Is it like burning when you piss, or is it more ‘physical’ skin stuff?

Most cases are asymptomatic, most self-clear, it's estimated that up to 90% of sexual active adults will acquire HPV in their lifetime and your chances of dying from the flu are much higher than even getting HPV related cancer much less dying from it. Anything easily avoidable that causes cancer is a bad thing, if you are eligible you should absolutely get the HPV vaccine, it doesn't hurt but to get this worked up over HPV is absurd, it's so common and in most cases completely harmless that it's not even part of a common STD panel. I've been tested a gazillion times and I don't know that I have ever been tested for HPV, maybe my doctor threw it in with my labs at some point but I doubt it.

Yeah, iirc the reason the vaccine for HPV has an age cutoff of, what, 25, is because they figure that after that you've probably already been exposed. No big, but you won't really benefit from the vaccine, so we'll save it for someone younger.

My coffee warned me about it.


My girlfriend [21 F] told me [23 M] that she wants to be single for a month and a half to pursue other people whilst she travels

quote:

Hi everyone. So yeah me and my girlfriend have been going out for about 8 months now and things have been going well. Lately I could sense something was a bit off with her so I asked her about it. She goes travelling on her own for a month and a half starting in mid June. She told me that she doesn't want to have her trip defined by missing me the whole time and working on the relationship long distance. And the real painful bit to hear was that she doesn't want to restrict herself from the possibility of other romantic possibilities whilst away as that is something that she enjoyed about her gap year.

And I just don't know what to do with that. She says she still loves me and she has no idea what she actually wants to do. I just can't help shake the idea that I should just give up and walk away now but I just don't want to. But is that really going to be a worse idea than staying together until just before she goes and ending it? Or do i try and make it work with her and potentially ruin her experience? Or worse not trust her the whole time she is there. Some help and advice would be much appreciated guys, any extra information you want let me know

TL;DR My girlfriend wants to be single in four months because she doesn't want to do long distance for a month and a half as she might meet someone she wants a romantic experience with there

A brothel I visited has underage girls

quote:

Once in a while I visit illegal brothels in NYC city. Usually you call them before, or text, set an appointment, go there, pay the fee, hook up with one with their girls, do the deed and then leave. There are different brothels i visit. Last week i went to new one “accidentally”. This was different from the rest, they ask you in the street whether you want to have fun time, you say ye or maybes then they bring you to the house. To cut it short, i was doing some job on that area when I stumbled in one of these guys who asked do you want to meet pretty girls. I figured what it is and said yeah.

So we went to the brothel, which is a regular three floor rented house. Went in, saw like 5 girls there, all late 20s, early 30s. Then the main guy for some reason strangely says to me we have some special girls if you’re interested. I said like what, then he opened the door to another room and I saw two girls there in the chairs. The girls looked scared and didnt want to be there. Clearly those were underage girls, like really underage, so young, probaly 13-14y, latin looking, i was shocked. Never happened smth like that, and I’ve been visiting brothel for a long time (10 years) but never saw any underage girls in that business. I said no. Wanted to leave completely, but since the guy was looking me strange I said I’ll go with the other girls, and picked on the other girls, 30 smth, left there. I’ve been very disturbed pas few days about what I saw, those girls were so young. Don’t know what to do. My question is this how can i hint/tip the police about what i saw? I don’t want to be involved at all. Either keep my mouth shut or I tip the cops. But the view disturbed me, and I’m not a person who gets easily disturbes. Thnx for info.

Ps. this is in Queens , NYC. I;m not a good person for going to brothels, i cant help myself. and wonder why the guy showed me underage girls.

Thankfully everyone in the thread tells him to report the place to the proper authorities.

Youre probably fine dude. You dont need to justify the fact that you play a card game to us. Or you do, but more because of your bad taste in online card games and not the fact that you play them at all.

There were way too many people in those comments going "uh, yeah, it's called an open relationship and she's being totally upfront about it and the OP needs to chill out"

also the "just ask her if she'd be ok with you banging girls while she's away, bing bang boom" responses are kinda dumb IMO because she could just call his bluff and say "ok, sure, it's a deal :)"

(it's probably way easier to get laid as a traveler in foreign lands than it is as a guy living his usual day-to-day life who doesn't usually sleep around but is feeling a ton of pressure to do so quickly because it's the only way he can save face against his girlfriend getting hosed constantly on the other side of the world)

Nah, in his original post he wrote about the idea of staying with her and ending it just before she goes on the trip (in June) so his "figuring out when to end it" will end up being that. I'm betting any rational resolution he will come to will get eroded in the meantime and when the time comes to end things he'll chicken out and agree to her idea. Which is great because we'll be hearing from him again.

I think this is a bad idea because all she has to do is act sufficiently contrite and wise and changed when she returns and she probably just gets what she wanted all along

Better to just end it now since he knows what's up

My [22F] Boyfriend [45M] of 2 years just read 50 Shades of Grey and wants to ‘experiment’

quote:

My boyfriend, let’s call him Geoff, and I have been in a committed relationship for 2 years now. His first marriage didn’t end well and I’ve had my fair share of heartbreak, so it took a while for us to trust each other. Fortunately, things have been great and I think I really love him. In the bedroom things have always gone great but for a long time I didn’t bring up some of my more ‘obscure’ sexual fantasies. I’ve had previous partners who were very receptive to this and I felt close enough to Geoff to explore these with him. I approached the idea with him and he was initially hesitant, but I asked him to read 50 Shades of Grey as a kind of joke. He surprised me by finishing the entire series in two weeks! He said he’d love to spice things thing up in the bedroom.

We started slow and things went great, but yesterday he came home from work with a ‘steamy shades submissive kit’ which I’m sure he got from Sexyland (an adult store in Australia). This crosses a line for me, and I’ve been feeling uncomfortable. I don’t like that I feel objectified by these products, and I’m also slightly afraid that his kids will stumble across any of the toys he’s purchased and leaves out in the open (they stay with us every other weekend).

Also, he knows I detest the idea of handcuffs due to my claustrophobia, yet he tries to get me to wear them almost every time now. It’s progressed to him constantly talking of swings, ball-gags and latex and at this point its making me feel very uneasy. He even wanted me to call him ‘Master’ which I can’t help but find to be demeaning and I’m just not into it. It sounds hypocritical, but I can’t look at him the same anymore. I feel I’ve really tried to tell him how I feel about it and he always promises to tone it down, but the next day there’ll be a new toy he ‘jokingly’ wants to try out.

I don’t want this to change things between us, but I feel like it already has.

tl;dr: Convinced my boyfriend to experiment in the bedroom, but his efforts have made me feel uncomfortable and he doesn't seem to care.
