Anyone caught genital herpes or genital warts from punting or regular sex?

Twice a year for the past 10 years or so.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's better than 95% of the people here.
They recommend every 3 months if you have multiple partners, which everyone here qualifies for.

I can understand places like Japan and Philippines having rises in STI cases year by year because they have poor sexual health education, but insane to see rising cases here in Australia. Then again, seeing the lack of knowledge from a lot here, I guess it's just the resources are available here, but no one is bothering to learn.

I came here to get fresh Intel due to being well over due for some fun.

I'm leaving questioning my life choices 🤣

Unsure if I had the same or not. Originally a small bump under the foreskin, thought it was a pimple. Then one day it popped and instead of pus it was bleeding. Then it looked more like cauliflower. Went to get it checked out and doctors said it’s genital warts. Prescribed Aldara cream and been using it for a couple of months. Feels like I’m playing whack a mole. The smaller ones are disappearing but the original bigger one doesn’t seem to be getting any smaller and likely constantly spreading/causing new spots. May need to ask if freezing it is an option. Prescription did say to stop treatment after 18 weeks.

I suspect I got it from bbbj or pussy slides, but hard to pin point since it was about a month after last visit before I noticed it. Luckily test results came back negative. HPV is so common they don’t bother testing for it unless you specifically ask for it. Doctor even said it possible I was a carrier before without having any symptoms and now only just developing warts. Can really be trigger by something as simple as stress so who knows when or where I got it from.

The original bump did spread for me as well, and the bumps felt itchy. Scratching was spreading them around.
I needed 2 rounds of blasting them with liquid nitrogen to kill all of them. Very contagious, u need to change bath towel often and do not let others use it.

Cauliflower growth sounds like warts, which is a different thing.

This thread got me curious. Ended up doing a bit of research on genital warts/HPV

https://www.reddit.com/r/HPV/

I recommend looking through this reddit. Had no idea how common it is, sex-ed really failed us.

I agree Cauliflower growth sounds like warts and do not fuck around with creams have them taken off with liquid nitrogen

Agreed. Unfortunately, seems a GP is inclined to just write a script for the cream (perhaps for convenience, perhaps trying to save you money). For the freezing option, that's a referral to a specialist, dermatologist, who does the freezing. Decades ago, freezing was the primary treatment. Now, seems to be cream. I'd push for the referral. Relatively quick (probably 2 visits, 1 initial, then a check, and maybe another freeze just to be sure). The cream is multiple self applications, daily over weeks...

Those small reddish scaley spots that skin cancer doctors freeze off, they use an aerosol can for a second with what I presume is liquid nitogen in it. I began this post going to suggest we could all do this ourselves easier and cheaper by getting a can of it ourselves until I wondered (and just researched) that the spray cans only last few weeks until it boils off through the very small vent of a loose lid. If it didn't have venting it would explode as the gas built up inside. The very boiling of the nitrogen is what keeps it cool enough to stay liquid. ie, cooling by evaporation.

DIY genital wart removal? Sounds good until your hand shakes and now you're headless...

Men would rather freeze their fucking dicks off before seeing a doctor jfc

Well I don't have any warts, but when the doctor froze off a couple of scaley red spots in one second I thought jeez that was easy money.

Sexual health clinic did my freezing, no cost and done over 2 rounds
