Not wanting to run through whole thread ... but was OP the only ine infected or did multiple.mo gers catch this ... were you able to pinpoint to a smaller number which providers? If so dm please.
How can anyone know how many mongers caught oral gon from Provider X?
Although I'm very sure I got it from one of 4 providers, I DFK'ed and DATY'ed all 4. So I don't know if the provider had gon in her mouth or vagina or both. Docs indicated risk of catching it from DATY was low % but risk of catching it from DFK was very near zero %.
So the amount of spread depends on how many mongers DFK and/or DATY, especially DATY.
Let's say a provider ar a busy J-girl shop with some good reviews here sees 10 mongers a day on average. Japanese tourists can stay 90 days on a visa. That's up to 900 mongers.
Reduce that based on how many so not DATY, how many get lucky and miss it or immune system fights it.
The scary part is for men, the docs say oral gon is almost always asymptomatic. So no one's going to tested or treated. I only got tested because either I was the rare guy who had symptoms from it or some other unrelated condition caused me to have sinus issues. And I'm in the habit of testing for STDs; which is probably pretty rare.
One interesting experiment would be if every Monger here got fully tested this week for every STD. Oral swabs, urinalysis, blood tests, etc. Then we may see some guys test positive for an STD but were asymptomatic. Or everyone could come back Negative for everything and say that I'm just a Nervous Nelly.
So far, my (Semi-)"Safe Mongering" is not that bad. Less fun than I used to have. But much better than quitting Mongering altogether. So far.
Giving up on BBBJ has been hard.
To each his own.
