STDs/STIs

[insert-emo-sn.livejournal.com]

Does reading about different STDs/STIs (whatever is "politically correct" nowadays) ever freak anyone other than me out so bad that they never want to have sex again? =X lol. I know this is a completely irrational fear, and that as long as I protect myself and know my partner I should be fine.... but, I know that some of them can be painful. And oozey. And generally unpleasant. And I do not do well with pain (I cried when I got my vertical labret done), and I most CERTAINLY do NOT do well with oozey. And one might even say that I'd go to extremes (read: considering abstinence for The Rest of My Existence) to avoid them. So.... yea. Am I the only one out there? D:
