-
- Bildung
Herpes, cold sores, HSV, whatever you call it is not something to be ashamed about. Having a positive diagnosis does not mean your sex life is over and it also doesn’t mean you should stop practicing non monogamy. The emotionally traumatizing part many people face that do test positive is the stigma people have about it. Our special guest today, Samia Mounts, is a dear friend, accomplished singer, actor, voice actor, and writer. She has written about the topics of polyamory, open relationships, and sexuality for seven years and is also now sharing her herpes story. She is passionate about shedding the ridiculous social stigma of herpes and HSV and wants to people to know that living a happy, healthy, fulfilling sex life is more than possible when you’re positive. As many as 1 in 2 American adults have oral herpes and an estimated 1 in 8 Americans adults have genital herpes. With numbers like that we really need to start educating ourselves rather than pointing fingers, slut shaming and sticking our heads in the sand! Open your mind and tune in today!
