The universe did totally "win" on this one and it has helped me along immensely with my breaking away from such a total tool. <br />-JulesInfidelity Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644195667158141992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688991328169502026.post-76721716375777353532011-10-25T22:29:35.343-04:002011-10-25T22:29:35.343-04:00I'm sorry, I know it's not funny, but I wa...I'm sorry, I know it's not funny, but I was reading the whole thinking grinning and nodding my head while thinking "It's a staph infection, isn't it?" <br /><br />I had one once, and I've known a handful of guys who have had it too (and I had it back in the good old days, when they would stick a cotton swab so large you imagined it was the vengeful sun god of Q-Tips down your urethra for samples).<br /><br />I like to think of it as the "non-STD" - it's really no more of an STD than a cold would be if you caught one after a night of passion (honestly you could get a penile staph infection just by forgetting to wash your hands before masturbating). But it's enough like an STD to freak you out and keep you on your toes, although generally harmless enough as long as you get it treated soon.<br /><br />In your case it brought out all the issues with you and Gavin that normally would have taken a real STD to bring out, with none of the lifelong baggage to go along with it. It was kind of a "win" from the universe, wasn't it?Ethan Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005642810763475029noreply@blogger.com
