Would you date someone that had genital herpes?

Is it possible to have a normal sex life?

I have had gentile herpes for six years. I date and have a normal sex life. My man is okay with it.

The "no" answers vex me greatly, but that is their choice. I am a smart, kind, beautiful, loving woman. In the few years I've had this rash I have found out I know six women with herpes....all of them like me. Most are married, with children.

As a side note: What is "normal"? there are folks out there who have sex with a dozen people (or more) each year. Is that normal? Some in the same weekend! Some people want their lover to pee on them, or watch others have sex or crazy things like that. Is that normal?

Herpes is a rash. It is JUST a rash. Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, it's a pain. Yes, it's an inconvenience. So what. Big deal.

But if I did not have it and knowing what I know now.....then:
No, it will not keep me from someone who is loving, honorable, decent, kind, smart. If I loved them, then their health situation (while a concern) would not be a deterrent. I would not let a skin rash keep me from the person my heart does somersault for. Sex should not define the relationship.

swoosh!! 2 points
no
uhhhhhh let me see,.....NO
Date, yes. Have sex with...NO. It isn't worth the risk.
no its not! you can spead that easy! and the outbreaks are a big problem
Hmmm well if I was already datign them and they strted to develop the, yes I would stay with them.
If I liked a guy and I heard they had herpes..I probably wouldnt wanna get any closer.
What you could do is take medicine.....and get emotionally close with someone before you have sex and tell them, they should understand.
