Hello,
My boyfriend is HSV2+ and I am H-. He told me his status on our second date so I would be able to make an informed decision before getting into a longer term relationship. As I'm sure you can guess, we've only gotten closer and things are heading in a more serious direction. Despite the positive forward momentum of our relationship, he's been having some difficulty feeling and maintaining sexual arousal, as he doesn't like condoms. I've been clear that I'm not willing to have sex or preform oral without them, especially if we are not married. He's been respectful thus far of my decision to continue an H- life, however as we near closer to a more committed relationship, I'm wondering what the best decision is. I've been contemplating becoming HSV2+, but I don't want to risk oral herpes for either of us if we were to continue our relationship without protection (as he's wanting).
Does any one have any advice as far as protected sex that might increase his sensation? Or any thoughts on maintaining an H- lifestyle versus becoming HSV2+ after a long term commitment?
Thank you in advance for any help!
