Without malice or ill intent, you need to speak with someone.
This decision making process is not something a healthy brain does. These are not the choices of a health mind. I know it might not be acceptable to some cultures, but you are suffering from at least one mental health issue. I promise you talking to a licensed therapist will cost you less than $400usd and will provide you with more perspective and self confidance than a sex worker.
It is no different to having a broken arm or sore back, you mind needs some help to get healthy. A metaphorical brain cast to help heal some wounds. You cam even ask your GP for recomendations if you have a doctor. Trust me it is worth it.

I'm in the US. A few years ago, during my single days, I chatted on another message board frequently. Two women stand out to me. Both college aged, both very attractive. One was a hostess at a high-end restaurant, the other modeled clothes and shoes for a local skateboard company.
Here's where things got interesting. Both eventually admitted to me that they had accepted "gifts" for their company. When I asked "How much?" they both refused to say and asked how much I would gift them for their time. I told both "$300," and they both seemed happy with the amount and invited me to visit them. No, I never went through with it.
(Edited to clarify: I don't think they knew each other, and these conversations were one-on-one.)

The claim isn't a fact as it is. OP, however also thought experience is expected and is a male. I can't really relate into that anymore because it's been twenty years when I was a virgin, and haven't exactly been unexperienced for a while now. I got rid of my virginity quite early so I didn't feel the pressure that much, but I would think it'll go up as years go by. To my knowledge, unexperienced companions aren't exactly preferred among more adult people, so I would imagine the pressure must have been hard.

Hahahah, keep reflecting buddy. That doesn't determine me as a person as much at it does to you and I got nothing to prove to you.
My boss gave me a second chance. My society gave me a second chance. To be honest, they're lucky to have me, as I am a part of the garbage recycling system here. Atleast this scum of society does something for it. There really aren't that many doing this job, and they truly struggled to find someone to substitute while I had my licence off (3months). I trained the substitute.
I made a 2km max of drive on an empty road, realized what I was doing and tried to turn back. My personal car got jammed, so I walked back. Police called me, and I told everything. Got minimum because the fragility of my job (hard to find a substitute)
I already live with the fact that I betrayed the trust my company and the society had given me. Now I'm even better servant as the experience made me truly value what I had earned and what position I maintain.
One of the bosses told that because I'm calling with the garbage recycling company, and setting things with them straight-up, they don't have to do it and saves them a ton of work. He said it's rather unique in our company and this is second biggest in the country. Therefore I'm not only emptying these people's garbage containers and area collecting posts, I negotiate so that we have to drive them all. But even professionals are humans. I didn't cause a dangerous scene eventhough nothing defences drunk driving. It was a risk, and I of all people know that, because I see people taking lethal risks almost every day in the traffic, and I'm trying to work among there. We all make mistakes, and luckily my last one wasn't straight up dangerous to anyone but myself.

There isn't excuse for cheating, you're absolutely right and my comment surely didn't mean to defend his actions or justify them. Still seems to me that a lot of men are more shamed about their virginity the older they get. Being self-confident on that area too helps finding a companion too so eventhough someone finding a love 'dont mind the virginity', it's somewhat plausible that the experience in sex increases self-confidency, and that often the key to find someone to love. It's not anyone's fault.

I think the main issues you have is the shame of what you did l, as well as the guilt of it. Cheating that is.
The real fuckup was cheating, not getting those STDs.

Even then, if you were worried about some type of ed you would buy a blue pill not cheat on your partner. I am sorry but there is no excusing anything op said, and him not getting away with it is no reason to justify his selfish and moronic logic.
Definitely awful that he has an illness from it, no one deserves life long punishment for being a douche while young and stupid, but there is no defending his behavior. It was not anyone's expectations that pushed him this way, only himself.
SkyrimIsForTheNerds t1_j1qfht6 wrote
There are a couple of ways you can move forward from this. One is to be taking medications to reduce the likelihood that you could spread it to a partner, be honest and upfront about your status, and let them make the decision of whether the risk is worth it to them. You also could look into dating other people who already have HPV and HSV (I hope you had the others treated).
Both of those viruses are far more common than people think, as many people either never have any symptoms or eventually expel it from their system.
Be honest about your sexual inexperience with a potential partner too. The right person will be patient and willing to teach or learn with you.
There are a lot of people who are in your shoes, whether their first time was consensual or not. It is not a death sentence for your romantic prospects unless you make it so.
reevelainen t1_j1qg5bc wrote

Men find these made up expectations from other men who don't know what they are talking about. Being self concious about your sexual performance is natural and ok, but those expectations aren't coming from us, and that line of thought from op is nothing but coping for selfish behavior.
If I had an inexperienced guy, as long as he was around my age and not too young or much older, it would be unlikely to bother me unless he made it an issue by drawing attention to it. From my perspective that is not a problem, if anything it is exciting to get a chance to blow someone's mind. I don't expect to get off the first time I am with a new partner anyway, that takes patience and being a lot more comfortable.

You're absolutely right. Being a virgin doesn't usually rise the self-confidence which is highly appreciated in dating, it's not the... being a non-virgin. Obviously people who fall in love doesn't care whether the opposite is virgin or not, but I'd say many men carry it like burden after certain age and that doesn't increase self-confidence which is, again, essential and is seen very attractive. A virgin can be a very self-confident too, obviously but isn't that easy I would imagine.

So many comments just glossed over that this dude felt it completely acceptable and actually heroic to cheat on his SO. Dude, even if you lost your virginity, your sexual experience won't change THAT much with one time. So you cheated and we're an untrustworthy pos for nothing. Also, women generally don't care. In fact, it's preferable to alot of women because we can set the expectation for a man not to use as a bang machine and maybe care about our experience too. So many younger guys who have lots of experience just use it for self gratification and the girls never even get to experience climaxing. Experience literally means nothing. You are just a crap person.

I would love to dig in the root reason why that had happened. It sounds rather dangerous tbh.
I don't think it's about expecting the other to be experienced or even a non-virgin but these experiences are a big part of masculinity most of the times. Mostly everyone wants to feel desired, and if that just never happens, I'd imagine it's hard to break the loop and suddenly turn into attractive dude in the eyes of the other. The feel of being desired often helps the self-confidence which is attractive feature. But again, this is just my experience as a man so it's not your widely researched knowledge about manhood and such.

Oh, I'm sorry. My academic background is super thin and most of my english might seem a bit rude as we Finnish people are famous of being bad at small talk. I'm driving a garbage collector truck so I bsrely have even any privileges expect being harassed way less and not having to be afraid of getting raped. While I try to execute feministic thinking and dialogues, I must often time sound like a complete moran, I'm sorry.

Your english is fine, don't play dumb please. I do not fundamentally disagree with your point of view, I am only highlighting the nuance and why your first comment was not well received. And although a bit rude you did not say anything specifically sexist when you point out how masculinity feels and the pressure men feel to be good partners. You did, however, intentionally mischaracterize my talking points, and then attempt to invalidate my perspective.

I get your points and not going to lie, I'm not a bot. My views are subjective as I'm already in the pit by trying to participate this after getting downvoted this much. I can't just exclude my annoyance causing some intentionally toxicity to appear in my speeches under this comment, same way there's annoyance in comments towards me.
I'm trying to find the dark spots in masculinity to develop it, not to defends it's last dark castles.

That is alright, I appreciate the honesty! If it helps in any way, the main issue people are taking with you is that you are implying that op's behavior is a result of the victimization of men from society. I know you aren't defending his actions, but you are eating up his excuse nonetheless.
Obviously there is pressure on men to be good lovers, everyone feels that, and feeling desirable is a huge part of sexuality, and it being expressed within part of masculinity is not a bad thing. Not feeling desired is a huge blow to confidence and self perception, that much is true. However, that is internal and related to insecurities, not pressure from society; thus, portraying op as a victim of society's expectations of men felt frustrating to others.

Thereās not, however with hpv and low risk(that cause genital warts) once they pop up you can definitely say you have some type.But before symptoms there is no test for men/women with low risk.

Yeah, I just googled and the incubation period for HPV warts is at least a month, usually several months. No way OP saw them on the 4th day.

One of my best friends got it from a boyfriend who suspected he had it (other former partners told him), but since he didn't have symptoms, he didn't get tested so he had plausible deniability. She is happily married now, and has a 7 year old daughter with her husband. She still gets outbreaks but her husband has never contracted it.

Wheelaffect t1_j1s26aq wrote
Problems with the story that make it seem made-up:
-
As many have said, $400/hr is REALLY high. The fact you repeatedly made a point of how cheap the sex worker was (assuming you did so to reinforce this idea that they have more STDās the cheaper they are), yet the sex worker wasnāt cheap at ALL, means itās likely you were just guessing and couldnāt google a definitive price range
-
What you COULD google us onset of herpes symptoms after first exposure and whaddya knowā¦itās FOUR DAYS! How perfect. š¤£
-
You āsearched up this girls profileā? What does that even mean? Did you not already see this supposed profile when you originally found her? And then you find she āhad at least 700 past clientsā.
This, for me, was the clincher. Do you honestly think sex workers have a CLIENT COUNTER, on their profile? š¤£š¤£š¤£
Why the hell would any sex worker keep that tally and make it available to potential clients? That simply didnāt happen.
- And whatās up with this pathological approach to dating. You decided to date someone like it was a college coarse, or like you are an alien but heard thatās a thing humans do so you added it to your schedule?
The whole thing reads like an š½ who was tasked to go undercover and investigate the behavior of humans during their college years, ended up meeting a sex worker who swindled you out of human money and when your overlords on the mothership asked for your paperwork you had to make up a story to explain the missing money.
That, and youāve probably given humans space AIDS.

I have no idea from where he'd get his ideas. Nothing to do with masculinity, healthy one atleast.
Umm... Correct me if I'm right but are you truly saying that men that would get bullied about their appearance, you're saying it's internal and because of their own insecurities? It's like it's justified to mock one if he's feeling insecure? Please, help me out here. I don't know what you mean. How are the ones coming from society different?

Buddy, you didnāt say a triggering thing that caused me to be emotional, Iām not even sure how you think my reply was emotional. Iām just confused as to how your take from this post was people have too high expectations of men. Please do explain, Iād genuinely love to hear it.
reevelainen t1_j1y5frg wrote
People? He seemed to think so, because he ended up getting rid of his virginity with professional help. I've learned due to comments under my comment that those expectations are just imagination of men like op, and there simply aren't any expectations towards men.
gaellamaas t1_j22x7ml wrote
Obviously there are unrealistic expectations of men, just as there are unrealistic expectations of women. However my issue is you seemed to bring up this issue out of nowhere, this post doesnāt highlight the hardships men face from unrealistic expectations. If you want to go sob about men not being treated fair, this isnāt the place for that.
reevelainen t1_j2303h3 wrote
Isn't op a man? And he thought there are expectations towards his performance? What IS more relevant place to talk about men's issues? Why it's so important to you that men's issues are NOT brought up in front of your eyes?
Sobbing reference is tasteless.. It's like screaming your misandry. Let me guess, it's a metaphora of fragile masculinity?
"Go sob about men somewhere else" is exactly the emotional side I've been talking about. You just had to choose the insulting, toxic route. Sensitive topic I'd say.

OP putting expectation upon himself on his own accord as a result of his own insecurity is simply not at all in line with what Iād consider an example of āunrealistic societal expectations of menā. I think itās very important that menās issue and mental health are spoken about, though often it is brought up in inappropriate places in order to distract from the actual issue and I felt that this was one of those circumstances.
Also Iām not sure how from this brief interaction youāve gathered that Iām a misandrist, I am a feminist and I believe in equal rights for men and woman and when people like yourself jump into conversations that feel irrelevant to that topic, I perceive it as you trying to push some āmen are oppressedā agenda. As for the sobbing comment, I just think itād be more appropriate discussing topics like somewhere other than in the comments of a post where OP literally admits that his actions were a result of his own stupidity. Itād be best we end this discussion here as it seems my sobbing comment got you quite emotional there.
reevelainen t1_j2347ws wrote
So, as a feminist, it's your right and duty to supervise in which conversations men's issues are brought up and police that? Eventhough it's a man talking about them, relating them and therefore maybe understanding them?
Because you're a feminist and not an eqalitarian, I find it easy to understand that you fail to see the bigger picture. Because this is about a man, you'd only see the action he did, and refuse to see what made him do it. Why this individual have insecurities men can relate into?
I didn't push any agenda, people just got triggered from it, which isn't entirely wrong because we've had some rational dialogues too, but hatred is always too much and that's my failure since the original comment was too provocative. That's not pushing men are oppressed agenda that's simply trying to understand the situation from man's point of view.
I have no emotions involved in this conversation.
reevelainen t1_j2357a5 wrote
If a woman would open herself here and told she felt the pressure of being inexperienced and would be worried her boyfriend to find out she IS experienced, would you be equally mad at someone pointing out expectations towards women and tell one that this isn't the place to talk about women's issues?

Actually, yeah, I was lying about the diagnosis part. I have tested negative for every STD, 3 months out. That being said, I haven't had the courage to ask for a herpes test. I've never gotten herpes symptoms, but I'm afraid I might be an asymptomatic carrier. Had to break up with my gf bc of the slight chance I actually am. Before the condom breaking, it didn't even cross my mind that I might get an STD.
