I went for a massage last week and got a nude body slide and bbbj from a nice young Japanese lady. In the days following the massage I started developing heaty rash and rough bumps around my groin and buttock areas.

I immediately thought of Herpes as the symptoms fit almost perfectly. Yes, it can be managed with medication or if your immune system is strong enough it may not flare up very often, but fuck! How am I going to tell the wife? What happens if one day she gets it from me? What am I going to tell her when I'm having a flare up and can't have sex with her? All these thoughts raced through my mind over the week which totally stressed me out and even triggered my migraine. Thankfully the in-laws are in town for a couple of weeks so I have an excuse not to sleep with my wife as it's just logistically not possible.

I went to see a doctor and he immediately diagnosed dermatitis and prescribed me with a steroid cream. I thought hmm yeah that's possible because the massage place wasn't very clean and I could have an allergy reaction from the massage lotion. However over the next few days the bumps developed into little dry black scabs which never happened when I had dermatitis on other parts of my body. The scabs looked awfully similar to some of the photos of herpes you find on the web which worried me a lot.

Just yesterday I went to see a doctor again and insisted to get a swab test to find out what the hell I'm having. Test result came out today and it's...shingles! Fuck, what are the odds that this once in a lifetime illness with symptoms that almost exactly mirror an STD appear on my groin and buttock areas (unusual for shingles) right after I went for a punt?

I'm so so relieved but I'm really thinking about giving up punting entirely now as the stress and worry are just not worthwhile when this kind of thing happens.

Has anyone here had any close call with STD from a punt? How did you handle it and did you go back to punting ?

Shingles and herpes are in the same family.
Do the crime do the time.
I'm not married so if I get something I'd have to live with it.
Marriage is a sacred institution, once married stick with your wife only. I'm sure plenty will disagree. When I have gf's I not interested in punting anymore.

Had an unwanted/unrealised BBFS CIP moment.

Was feeling like shit after and head was in a whirlwind thinking about STDs and shit in a similar fashion.

Thankfully tested negative. Had been really put off punting for a while because of it.

I can't believe you are cheating on your wife. What is this world coming to. I think herpes is afraid of being infected by you....

Jokes aside I'm actually glad for you it was just shingles mate haha.

Agree with SlippinJ . Most likely herpes
1.first doc tells u something
2. 2nd doc tells different
3. Your logical reasoning saying symptoms turn up in area where u did the deed. Unlikely co-incidence .

And here's a word of advice: check your vaccinations. There is a vaccine for shingles. Might prevent, can reduce severity. I have friends who have had shingles, and they've said it is not fun.

They are the same family but different viruses. Shingles is caused by Herpes Zoster, same virus as chickenpox that lies dormant in your body and would usually flare up once in your life. The STD herpes is caused by Herpes Simplex.

The swab tested for both viruses as the doctor also suspected shingles. The result only came up positive for Herpes Zoster so it's definitely shingles.

Herpes 100%
What’s the name of the joint you visited?

Shingles is caused by Varicella Zoster (VZV) virus which is the same virus that caused chickenpox that lies dormant in your body, whereas the STD herpes is caused by Herpes Simplex 1 or 2 (HSV). They are different viruses even though they are from the same family. The swab test tested for both viruses as the doctor also suspected that it could be shingles. The test result is only positive for Varicella Zoster but not for Herpes Simplex. Therefore, it's shingles and not the STD herpes.

I understand that position and I wish my resolve is as strong as yours. I drew the line at FS. I've not once done FS outside of my marriage after I got married.
After what happened this week I'm not in the mood to go punting anymore and will probably give it up entirely. Let's see how much resolve I have!

Shingles only shows up on one side (left or right side but not both sides) of the body so that would be one definitive tell-tale sign. I've had it, painful mfker right up their with gout in terms of pain threshold. If you've had chicken pox the virus never goes away, it gets buried in the appendix and lays dormant until one day out of the blue when your immune system is weak it strikes.

Perhaps wait until you are married and experience how, repeat, how, it can play out first hand.

I am sorry to point out but you most likely have genital herpes. Like it has been mentioned, shingles only affects one side of the body and usually around the waistline. Genital herpes affect the groin and buttocks area, usually on the left butt chick but not always, upper end of your thigh.

Good luck with it. If you haven’t yet see another GP and ask for medication such as valacyclovir.

Before anyone else asks, no I don’t have it, you can see what I do for a living, not diagnosing, just trying to be helpful to this fellow punter.

Yep the rashes and bumps only appeared on one side of my groin and buttock as if it's separated by my butt crack, but it doesn't discount herpes. Only the swab test confirmed that it's shingles rather than herpes.

Thankfully it wasn't too bad for me. The bumps and rashes sting when I touched them and it was literally pain in the butt when I sat down but they never developed into liquid filled blisters and sores. They just dried off and became scabs after a few days. They are just a bit itchy now.

The thing is you don't have it in tap at home.
In most marriages, sex drops to 0. She's just not into you.

Turns out there was a reason martial rape was legal. Because marriage literally destroys female libido.

It's not even that she doesn't want it. It's that she can't be bothered. She never initiates and every single intiation I do for the last 4 years has been shut down with my leg my arm hurts, im tired, I've got to go to work tommorow..

So I gave up. if she wants to be celibate. No problem. She can have 0 sex in the relationship.

Besides banging 18 year old jap girls is probably more physicaly fun anyway.

So jokes on her. While she thinks she's pulling one over on me, in that I'm trapped in the marriage with no sex and she gets everything she wants... Actually were both happy this way.

My mates a GP.

He told me the truth is the stigma around herpes is worse than the condition itself. It's just like cold sores on the lip.

Over time the symptoms become less severe during outbreaks and may not even pop up as well.

He said that its not necessarily an indication that someone is cheating as well. Tests can't provide clarity on when you actually caught it. You may have caught it in your early 20s. Or you may have potentially caught it from your wife, she could've just been asymptomatic or dormant on her.

In saying this, to all the married blokes. Maybe it's best you fellas stick to HJs.

I have had shingles once and like you it was after a rather strong massage. I mean really strong massage, she almost lifted tendons.Shingles broke out bout about a week later. Mine was across the right shoulder area. The shingle itself felt like sunburn, but the underlying nerve pain was the nasty and radiated up my neck and even across one hemisphere of the top of my scalp.

I also get a cold sore on one lip very infrequently. Main trigger is a high dose of sun. I have had three long term relationships and never kissed or did oral sex when I had a cold sore and none of the ladies got it. I know they talk about herpes dry virus shedding (no physical sore), but I believe even that tends to disappear after a year or so.

Good luck with the shingles.its very painful. But, you cannot catch it from others. It comes from inside us. It is dormant after we get chicken pox early in life.
If you have a bad dose it will wipe you out for weeks and weeks.

Some of you guys are scaring me so I asked for a copy of the swab test result from the gp in case the doctor made a mistake when telling me. The result clearly states 'not detected' for HSV1 and HSV2 and 'detected' for Varicella Zoster. It's definitely shingles and not herpes!

Shingles is not contagious unless you've never had chickenpox before so I definitely didn't get it from anyone. It was most likely a huge coincidence that it flared up just after I went for a massage so I don't think I'll publicise which shop I went to. All I can say is that the room wasn't very clean - it looked like they didn't change the bed sheets in between customers and they just put a disposable massage sheet on top. Maybe they only change the sheets if you opt for the FS option. The room also had used disposable gargle cups and empty condom wrappers lying around.

Hey Mate, just recently recovered from a positive Chlamydia Diagnosis. Quite scary and didn’t want to tell the misses but did in the end, she’s been tested and is positive too, ending the relationship was hard. Tried explaining it’s like an addiction and it’s not an emotional thing when punting. None the less I am negative now and have gone back to punting.

A lot of people would likely have antibodies for HSV1 which mainly appear on the mouth. That being said you can have the genital form is HSV1. The issue with the test is that is does not distinguish between the infection sites.

Yes. But if you have HSV1 it's not unexplainable to his wife / partner that if he had say oral herpes, he gave her and she returned back to his genitals.

HSV 2 would be a lot harder to explain. and you don't need to wait for symptoms to show up to do a swab. can find out pretty much straight away.

Generally you get hsv 1 orally and hsv2 is genitals. That's their preferred area. Although you can get hsv1 on genitals and hsv 2 orally. Though less common. So if a girl with a coldsore gives you a nice bbbj. You may get hsv1 on your penis. Though not common.

And not all cold sores are visible. A large portion of the population actually have cold sores on their oral mucosa gums and cheeks and palatal. So they may be flaring up with zero external visible signs.

HSV1 on the mouth is nothing to be concerned about. I'm pretty sure I already have it from a cold sore I had when I was small. It was confirmed in an unrelated blood test I did a while back.

Any HSV on the genital is an STD and it's definitely something to be concerned about. I read that genital HSV1 is not that bad as it very rarely flares up. Genital HSV2 is the problematic one as it can flare up multiples times in a year especially in the first couple of years after you got it if you don't take any anti-viral.

I saw an ML this week based off recommendations from a question post i made recently.

Girl was very hot. I just wanted NHJ for start to see how things would go.

During idle chit chat on part 1 i asked if she was busy today and she said no, not as many as others. I replied it's odd given how beautiful she is and sexy and friendly.

Along came pt2 then after the flip i moved to touch her face and she brushed me away. After a min i asked to smell her hair but she said no.

I wanted a body slide and she then said she can't because she has spots. She then points to her neck and collarbone area and i see 2 small red spots.

I instantly deflated. I asked how did she get them and she said dr said her skin is sensitive and it's a reaction.

I didn't think of it much further. After much tugging i stare at her boobs which got me back up and over the line.

I thought at the time it was a very cold punt despite the glowing recommendations.

but next day I started wondering about the red spots. Was it herpes? Was she friendly and then went cold because was she trying to protect me from cold sore/herpes???

Trying to put 2 and 2 together. She's meant to be a popular girl but has little business. Did her regulars know she's got an STI and avoid her? I looked up photos on Google image but they all look like rashes.

I didn't touch her ,🐯 or suck nipples as i wanted to be a gentleman. My butt region was a bit itchy next day but no symptoms so far. I think I'm more risk of infection but of course will get tested in a few weeks.

Any bros get herpes from skin to skin alone?

Herpes 1 are cold sores around the mouth, lips.
Herpes 2 are similar to cold sores, blister, then scab, around genitals or anus.

Never heard of Herpes on neck/collarbone.

How Is Herpes Transmitted?

The only way the herpes virus can be passed from one person to another is through direct contact, full stop. “Genital herpes is transmitted by direct contact with a herpes lesion or oral or genital secretions, such as saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, and mucosa, meaning skin inside the mouth or vagina, of an infected person,” explains Ryan Luellwitz, M.D., an OB/GYN at UW Health and clinical assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, WI. “Penile-vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse are all possible ways a person can become infected with the herpes virus.”

Getting herpes is more likely when you have skin-to-skin contact with someone who has active herpes lesions or symptoms, says Dr. Luellwitz, but it’s still possible to get herpes from skin-to-skin contact with a partner who currently has no noticeable symptoms.

Bottom line: The virus is transmitted through direct, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. This is exactly why transmission of herpes via a toilet seat or towel is basically impossible: If you’re sitting on a toilet seat, then you’re not directly coming into contact with a herpes lesion. Yes, it’s possible that someone with herpes sat on the toilet seat you’re now sitting on. But “herpes can’t be transmitted by touching something that a person with herpes has touched,” says Dr. Terry. “It cannot be transmitted by toilet seats or anything like that.”

I wanted a body slide and she then said she can't because she has spots. She then points to her neck and collarbone area and i see 2 small red spots.

I instantly deflated. I asked how did she get them and she said dr said her skin is sensitive and it's a reaction.


The problem with skin conditions is that many things can cause them which can sometimes be hard to pin down. Outside of health issues or STDs, allergies, reaction to shampoo or soap or washing detergent or fabrics, food intolerances, the list goes on as to what can cause skin issues. I stopped seeing a ML a few years back because she had persistant skin issues and I wasn't sure what underlying health condition which caused it and neither was she. However I figured STD checks were probably low on her to do list and wanted to take no chances. So I get it.

But for herpes they are only going to be on the mouth and genital region AFAIK.

Shingles and herpes are in the same family.
Do the crime do the time.
I'm not married so if I get something I'd have to live with it.
Marriage is a sacred institution, once married stick with your wife only. I'm sure plenty will disagree. When I have gf's I not interested in punting anymore.

'''Marriage is a sacred institution, once married stick with your wife only''' ... correct and also is common sense. - '''When I have gf's I not interested in punting anymore''' ... Of course, honesty is the highest value.
