I have a REALLY REALLY REALLY stupid question...

... but I can't stop myself from asking it.

Skin to skin contact... so even with a condom, there is a chance you can transmit the virus to your neg partner, when you're NOT having an outbreak.

OK, here comes the stupid question: (I can't warn you any more that it's stupid)

If the underwear is kept on, and you take your penis out of the "fly" ...and THEN put on a condom and have sex, that would make everything even safer right? It MUST!

...this is the part where I admit I Googled this before asking opinions here.

Regards,

I would think it would make it safer because you are eliminating a lot of skin to come into contact with.

Not too sure on that one. I would still say there is a chance of passing it but if you are not having a break out, you may not be shedding the virus - it's kind of 50/50. Either way, let your partner know whats up and make the decision together. :) I have heard taking 1200 mg of L-Lysine supplements per day can help the virus to shed less which might be a good thing for you to check out!

I've heard of people doing this ... and yes, it should afford you more protection as there will be minimal, if any, skin to skin contact... but man, how unromantic!!!! And I'm pretty sure that the underwear would chafe as it would absorb all the naturally lubricating body fluids..... :-O

@inka - I think there would be a big difference between "dangerous situation" sex like that (if you are into that kind of thing!) and doing it on a regular basis with the tighty whities or boxers on :/

Thanks for the replies all! :-)

I would love for this to be a case study... anyone looking to fund one? :-) :-P

I think I just found the answer to all your problems/questions about this... (Literally just showed up on my FB feed! LOL)

OM GAWD.....

I can't believe they came up with this "advertisement"

wow...I have no words..

I agree with @aimee, I'm speechless

WTF HAHA NO WAY

I know .... speechless is an understatement!

I think it's funny as hell that this came up on my FB feed when it did ... the timing couldn't have been better..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

Suddenly having sex with his underwear on every time seems a LOT sexier that it did a few days ago.... LOL

Wtf.... seriously ...

Well, I *guess* it would help the uber-germaphobes out .... or anyone who has a Latex fetish :/ LOL

Hahaha! Omg!? I can only imagine how bad you'd get swamp ass from wearing that thing!!

Too funny. Men barely want to wear condems, so this will never fly. Far as men leaving underwear on, I personally wouldn't want to grab captain underpants in his stained uniform.

I am so thoroughly disturbed by that video.....

that made my night...haha.
