How Men Herpe
Courtney shares some male perspectives on how they manage life with herpes.
Something Positive for Positive People Podcast Episode 143
We answer some listener questions about men and HSV. Some men wrote in and asked some questions and I answer those as well. We discuss masculinity and how we deal with a herpes diagnosis differently than those in touch with their femininity, disclosure leading to 'me too,' who has more outbreaks between penis and vulva owners, and the importance of communication as a herpes diagnosis changes the way we do sex. I hope you enjoy this episode and if you found it useful. Please consider leaving a donation to SPFPP so that we can pay for people's therapy services and provide support for them after their diagnosis.
