I haven't watched this round af Average Joe, but I will admit to being GLUED to the last one. This one didn't interest me much, however upon reading the original post on the thread I did a search to find out some info and before everyone gets too upset about it, I will say that it seemed that the issue was not that he had a coldsore so much as that he went in for a KISS with a sore on his lip. I think that we all would agree that that is inappropriate, as is kissing someone while you have the flu or strep throat or anything else. So, it's just my opinion and I'm not defending anyone here... I wish as much as anyone that the herpes stigma were'nt what it is... but it seems like the issue wasn't just the sore but the fact that he tried to put the moves on her with it.
There may be some fault of the producers, though because I think that they focused a lot on it, making it very evident and glaring. So yes, maybe the producers suck.
Also, while Herpes is Herpes and can be passed to any body part, it seems like the stigma is ten thousand times worse when you've got it below the belt.... like yours truly. I have heard that on the bachelor/bachelorette having herpes automatically makes you inelligable. Anyone know if this is true? Who cares, I think going on one of those shows would be hell on earth anyway!
Oh, and one more thing.... has anyone seen the movie Spinal Tap? There's one part in that movie where two of the band members have giant cold sores and I'm sorry but it is funny as heck. I was watching it with my boyfriend and he said "look babe, it's like you
" (I dont get coldsores, I have it down below) and then he smiled and kissed me on the forhead and believe it or not it was a funny moment and I think we had sex not long after.
So yes, Herpes sucks and it's a total stigma, but we ourselves have to be OK with it before anyone else will.
Thanks for reading my ramble!
