Monkeypox

Anyone concerned by this. I read it is coming from sexual encounters. I suppose I'm not worried about the actual disease but if i did get it how do i explain that to my SO?

Try this:

“Honey, if you took care of my needs at home I wouldn’t have to fuck monkeys on the side.”

The current issue now is it may be transmissible by respiratory droplets. So don't get coughed on or sneezed on by someone with it. If you do get it you can just use that excuse.

Fortunately, once it has advanced to lesions the person would be in no condition to be working as a provider so the sexual transmission component shouldn't be an issue for most of us. Once lesions appear, which are contagious, the person will be experiencing a horrible flu/chicken pox/mono like sickness. No way they'll be going to work.

So far no cases in PA. I'll start to get a little concerned then, but just a little bit.

Half of us are old men who probably were vaccinated for small pox, pre-1972. From what I understand that produces immunity from Monkey Pox too. I’m not a doctor, so I could be wrong. But I’ve seen that in a couple of articles. Hope it’s true.

Yes

I’ve read it has mostly been spreading among gay and bisexual men.

Well, if it starts showing up in the aamp community, that could really put a damper on things. Worse than Covid, perhaps? But from what I hear, it's not all that transmissible.
