Herpes for Guys... a POV of what it feels like for the guys.

Herpes for Guys... a POV of what it feels like for the guys. It's been too long since I posted anything and someone asked me to describe what genital herpes felt like from a guys point of view. Thanks PJ52606, for asking. Feel free to make use of this as you will. What Genital Herpes feels like from a guys POV The onset can vary from person to person. The precursors can feel like insects crawling around your skin or prickly heat with an itchiness to it. The outbreak itself can come out much like prickly heat or an ingrown hair or a pimple. All kind of look alike and feel similar but not the same. I can tell the difference between an ingrown hair and a pimple but can’t describe it. Similarly after experiencing either and an outbreak, I can tell the difference too. Outbreaks will re-occur in the same place as the initial infection. Now to describe an outbreak. At best it can be minor, being no more than an open pimple, though this pimple will have a white head and very red base as opposed to a pinkish red of a pimple and the white head portion will burst easily as opposed to a pimple that will hold it’s integrity until forced. I’ve had several arise to cover an area about 3/8" in diameter to later scab over with a damp scab that basically blistered over. At worst so far, in my experience of an outbreak, has been similar to a blistered scald. The area again being the same as the initial infection. These are the external observations I have had. The treatment and precautions prescribed to me, were to keep the area clean and dry. Wear loose clean clothing over the area and change regularly. Try not to break the blisters/pustules and to avoid fluids from the blisters or pustules from being transferred to any susceptible areas. Wash hands regularly when touching that area especially during an outbreak. And avoid sexual contact during the outbreak. I hope this helps people that aren’t sure if what they feel is possibly an outbreak. I’d say it’s better to err on the side of caution. I also hope it opens peoples eyes a bit more about what the men go through, and also consider that many women get their outbreaks internally where they can’t quite keep it dry or from chaffing. No matter how you cut it, the worst is not a nice thing to have, but not everyone has it as bad as some sites might make you think. Make sure you find some quality places to do your research on any STD / STI. Play safely and responsibly informed. Skilledlickr |

I hope those people you know of with it haven't totally sequestered themselves away from contact and living a life. There are places they can go.

Thank you! I hope my sharing helps others see there are responsible ways to still enjoy life despite being infected with herpes. In some ways I am glad I have had to deal with it. Life would be easier without it, but I might be as ignorant despite all the instruction I had ever had. It could be worse for me too. It may not be the best in way of a blessing, but it has had some positive affect on my life.
