i love your post.

i got chlamydia.

and i have only had sex with one person my whole life.

i just feel dirty now.

and i just always assumed that happened to the "slutty" people not that they deserved it but it was just the risk they were taking.

i dont feeel that anymore it can happen to anyone and even though its curable it really changes your life since being diagnosed there is not a day i go by without thinking about it.

Now that cured, just forget about it. don't tell anyone else. Move on with life. You have your whole life ahead of you, be smart about sex and you'll laugh about this in 2 years. Believe me.

The moral of this story is;no glove,no love. EVERYONE should have a Mr. or Ms. Wrong on their resume!You simply arent a complete person without scr**ing a p*ick,but a jimmy-wrap is the way to make your list of accomplishments complete without a "prize"!The writer of this article is a more complete and total person than most of the answerers,in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure she's saying that she DID think that but doesn't feel that way anymore. She grew from this experience. Give her a break.

I don't know, Amanda. "Not everyone who gets infected by a sexually transmitted disease is promiscuous or slutty" is pretty damning, at least in its characterization of the "typical" STD case.

I didn't see the writer say anywhere in this piece that promiscuous girls deserved STDs. I also didn't see her say anything about that stigma being associated with only women. Somehow I get the feeling that the word "man-whore" is thrown around just as often as "slut" when someone is wearing the scarlet STD. Its ridiculous and unfair, but it happens and maybe this article can put a stop to that.

Anyway, its great that anonymous shared her story in an effort to get girls to be more careful and see that in times when we do make those mistakes its important to get tested.

Wow, so, uh, the slutty, promiscuous girls are deserving of their STDs and are deserving of the shaming and stigma associated with them? You're just upset that some of the sex-shaming put upon women by the bullshit patriarchal norms is being put on you, even though you are a good girl, who just made a mistake?

Maybe you should have taken this experience as an opportunity to understand first hand the kind of societal forces that are behind the sexual oppression of your gender, and the oppression of sexuality in general.

PS, You're better off without that tool who thinks less of you because you got an STD. He should put on some big-boy pants and grow the fuck up.
