Please treat this as a delicate situation. Serious ones need only apply. Since I am pretty much resigned to the fact that I am highly stubborn ,somewhat arrogant, I need any one out there to educate me to what exactly I can get out there if decided to drop my drawers and just do it with anyone, and I mean ANYONE. I have tried staying on a regular regime of being on a mood stabilizer, to being put on SSRI's to re-directing my way of thinking by means of reading books of all kinds to watching T.V. to going for rides on buses to walking the animals to trying to sleeping thru it. Nothing seems to work. I went to go and see my OB/ GYN. I see a mental Dr. and Dr. who prescribes Mood Stabilizers. My mother thinks its stress, I have lost my car and subsequently have had to move due to transportation problems. I have been thinking of getting a BOB (Battery Operated Boyfriend). I am at the end of my rope. What exactly is out there and what would you advise me to do? Educate me.

Yes, there are STD's and you can get them. There are many ways to minimize your risks of getting an STD, but way too many to go into here. Check out this website from the CDC Center for Disease Control. Click through the left menu on the STD's and read the information.

Yes std's are very real, if you decide to have sex with someone use a condom and hopefully it will be with someone you know and trust, you can get anything from chlamydia, to gonorrhea and syphilis which are treatable with antibiotics, or something more serious like hep c or hiv which are incurable and often result in death, eventually, or herpes which is incurable also and will affect any future relationship you have, so be careful, i hope you can work out your problems, i think if you are considering just doing it with anyone, a BOB is a better idea, ps no joking intended

well, i'm kinda young, but we have learned about STDs in school MANY times. there is definitely a such thing as STDs. There are so many different kinds with all different effects & symptoms that you wouldn't believe. It honestly made me afraid. If you are really interested in learning about STDs, you can search the topic on a medical website & it will give you the specifics.

I don't have to educate you, the way I see it, you are better than me just by reading how you explain yourself in writing. I think your mother is right and you need to unwind. Anyway, the most dangerous (STD) of Sexually Transmitted Diseases is the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). You are right if you want to buy BOB, I'm sure they are free of STD'S.

Yes, of course there 'is such a thing'. You can catch anything from herpes to syphilis to chlamydia to gonorrhea to hepatitis C to HIV from having sex. Oh, and HPV too. Use a condom and get the HPV vaccine. Pill is good too, just in case, but it's not protection against STDs, just pregnancy. Basically, be somewhat discriminate in who you sleep with, use a condom, and you should be fine.

Absolutely.
If you snuggle and play footsie in swim suits with a guy who has Herpes Simplex and has an outbreak YOU CAN GET IT just from rubbing thighs.
And it is INCURABLE
Now, short of that it takes unprotected sex to get anything else.
OR it takes the CONDOM BREAKING
So the rules are, keep your tighs covered and your pants buttoned.
There is NO known STD that comes from letting a guy use his hands on you, at least none I am aware of.
TONGUE, yes
Fingers no
But I'd make him wash his hands and do it throughly.

Yeah, there is a thing called STD. Dont get it please!!! Its very dangerous, you can die from it and you surely dont wanna have it. I would recommand for you to see a church pastor or a councelor who you trust. Go to God, He can fix any problem. All those pills your drinking, the devil is trying to mess with your mind because his biggest target on a person is through the brains. Thats why so many people do drugs, smoke and drink. This way the devil messes with your brains and ones he completed his job by destroying your brain, your soul belongs to him. Those pills that you drink slow down your thinking. Please stand on your knees one night and pray to God from the bottom of your heart and believe in Him because He died for you on the cross for your sins and your sicknesses so you would live. Pray and He will answer you. Believe in yourself and ask God to heal you from the problems you are having. It works!!! God will cleans you. Go to a pastor or councelor and tell them your problem. They will pray for you. Dont be shy of telling them your problem. Just do it and youll be free.

Well you could go to hospitals to see the patients suffering from those diseases. Try asking the doctors if you could visit them. STDs are definately real.
