Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI'm cracking up here over a memory that just popped into my head.
I was a young teenager. I hadn't had sex yet.
I got some kind of weird looking painless sore in my pubic region...about where your pubic hair would be.
So, like what every other normal teenage boy would think..."IT'S SYPHILIS"!!!!
I started asking all of my dumbass friends..."Hey, can you get syphilis from dry humping"?
And of course, they all answered "yes".
I became a nervous wreck for weeks. I kept hoping the sore would go away, but it didn't. I lost sleep over it, and my school work suffered.
I finally decided that I needed to go to the health department to get looked at. I didn't want to go to my doctor because I didn't want my mom to know I had syphilis.
The nearest health department was about 10 miles away. A friend of mine took a bus there with me.
While we were riding on the bus, I heard...
MEOW.
My friend and I looked at each other. Heard it again...
MEOW.
I turned around, and there was this woman sitting in the opposite aisle, slightly behind us. She had on a long flowing dress, and high heels that must have been about 6 inches. She was in her 50's or 60's.
She looked at me, winked, and went "MEOW".
I didn't know what to do. I probably blushed a little bit, and turned back around. My friend just stared straight ahead, petrified.
She kept doing it.
MEOW
MEOW
MEOW
I started meowing back at her.
MEOW
MEOW
MEOW
We meowed at each other until she pulled the cord and got off at her stop. She got off the bus, and started running down the street, in those high heels, faster than I've ever seen a human being run in my life. She was Usain Bolt of the cat world.
We got to the health department. The doctor was an older man, and I told him I had syphilis. He looked at the sore and said something like "You're fine young man. that sore will go away".
THE END

(7,080 posts)A girl I knew in high school got involved with a college crowd and started having sex with those guys. She wound up with a yeast infection which she knew nothing about and thought she had syphilis. Came home really drunk one night and her mom woke up and started talking to her in the living room. The girl spilled out the whole sordid story about sex with college guys and now having syphilis. Then stuck the piece of bubble gum she was chewing on her mom's nose as her final exclamation point! Mom took her to the doc and, of course, it was a yeast infection. This girl was the oldest of three and Mom's favorite. Bet her mom got gray hair way early. We heard about this episode in the girls' bathroom in high school which was considered sex education back in the day.
