This was venting. I didn't realize how much I needed that at all. This isn't a podcast about herpes so if you're looking for that here, I encourage you to check out some other episodes. I was struggling with podcaster's writer's block and this episode may have been precisely what I needed to break through that. I talk about NOT talking about racism, the dehumanization of being a man, the "forward" response, challenging triggers/traumas using our elders' wisdom/experiences, and I realize why I don't quite fit in to a lot of spaces I occupy. I think this is the first time I've been truly honest and vulnerable with the SPFPP audience.Herpes Positive/Accepting Kink Group on Fetlife: https://fetlife.com/groups/251020
