Your chances of catching herpes from your girlfriend, under your circumstances, are pretty slight. But low as they are, there is still a chance. Psychologically speaking, you can obsess about the tiny risk you’re taking, letting it ruin your life and your relationship, or you can accept the risk, continue to take precautions, and make up your mind to stop being such a paranoid dope. After all, what are you so afraid of? Herpes is, hysteria aside, a relatively minor problem in the lives of the vast majority of the people who “suffer” from it.
It’s the only explanation that makes sense of him not wanting you to see or touch his cock. The dry-air excuse is a little lame, and I’m shocked that a smart girl like you–a grad student!–would fall for it. I mean, if he were suffering from dry dick, why wouldn’t he want to stick it in your soakin’ wet pussy every other hour? And you could easily deprive him of the dry-dick excuse by buying him a bottle of Vaseline Intensive Care.
This happens every time I bed this girl. She is good orally, but her “dry well” is killing me. She tells me I’m doing everything right, and doesn’t know what the problem is. What say ye? –Pittsburgh
