During my 16 year marriage, my ex had a voracious appetite for sex-he wanted to have sex 4-5 times a day, I thought that was normal, and being the good wife i tried to be, I complied-though it became a chore i dreaded and came to hate.
The diseases began 5 weeks after our first child was born-hpv...very painful and he insisted we have sex even before i went to the dr. to be diagnosed. The Dr. was horrified--"they're all the way up to your cervix--YOU"VE been having sex!! " he was disgusted with me(as if it hadn't been painful enough to have the sex to begin wit!!)

Of course the disease came "from the air" and my cervix had to be cauterized and frozen with the risk of cancer in later years.

Later years brought with them may other STD's, happily not AIDS or Hepatitis.

They too came from "the air".
I beg to differ with anyone here---I was severely traumatized, and carry one disease to this day which has kept me over 20 years celibate; for I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone I have it, even though statistics say 1out of 2 Americans do have it---
it still embarrasses me.

And for me to be intimate on that level with anyone, I would have to care very deeply about that person, and I would require myself to tell them the truth.

I have been deeply traumatized by Infidelity--and so have millions exposed to and
dying of AIDS through no fault of their own!!!!!

I DO think DYING of AIDS because you trusted your partner is a Trauma=PTSD.
