a little rash.  She told me it might have been from shaving, maybe a reaction to her new clothes, maybe she was picking at something...and she was SO good-looking and so sweet to touch smell and taste and now the next morning I'm panicked and turn to the place I found her, TER for guidance. Details: she had a few pimples on her chest, a couple on her back, but down below in the shaved area at least a dozen and on her ass enough pimples to look like teen-age acne (or a rash). NO open sores, no ooze, no blood, no chanchres, NOTHING on her lips --any of them and I got up close and personal with all six! So...just some not-to-worry pimples or should I have run away? Thanks for ANY guidance. Searching the web-m.d. sites has left me unaided. And finally, how long before I'd know something by way of a physical reaction -- a few days? weeks? A night of passion. A morning after of fear. An updated re-asking of an age-old question -- "am I going to regret this?". Thanks.

go to a good search engine and look up molluscum contagiosum and find a photograph on one of the webpages...see it this is what you saw...if not, disregard.  If so, you can read all about this virus on the webpages.  There are a number of treatments.  If you find out that is what it is and you get them it is not the end of the world but I recommend you have them burned off.  It is the quickest and more importantly it is the most painful and it will remind you that you let the wrong head make your decision...not that you are not in good company...

why would you compromise your safety for any good looking anything?

AS far down below in the shaved area it could be “razor bumps” check the link to see if thats what it looked like .
hope this help

You should be scratching your brains out by now too.

In the shaved pubic area may just be a folliculitis (infection of the hair follicle) brought on by shaving.  The stuff on her back is probably acne.

But hard to tell without seeing them.  That why dermatologists go to 4 yrs med school, them Internal Medicine residency and then a couple of yrs of looking at skin lesions.

Just compromising it in different ways.  BBBJ?  Seeing an escort when you have a SO at home?  We're all into a bit of risky behavior here.

Calling someone an idiot is not consistent with the spirit of TER and I hope they noticed your insulting language...it serves no purpose...  and tell us all you never made a mistake in judgment and I will wonder how the Pope got into TER...

some positive feedback to help me through the first of the waiting period. Not much point in seeing a doctor just to talk about what theoretically the girl MIGHT have had. Obviously, if I show ANY symptoms I will go straight to the doctor and already intend to have a full STD panel done in 10 days -- by which time (my internet research tells me) any infection should show up in the test. I know I'm an idiot. And as has been said, to one degree or another we all are. It's human nature I suppose. It's just the degree of idiocy that has me frightened. For me, the more beautiful the provider, the stupider i become. I only hope this experience proves to be a frightening warning, and not an actual disaster. And I'm wondering should I remain celibate for a couple weeks? And would other hobbyists and providers with a similar frightening experience take it upon themselves to avoid such things as DATY and BBBJ until they were sure they were okay? Probably not I suppose. Hell, if she hadn't had the obvious skin disruption she might still have had the concurrent STD (if there even is one!). We just never know. Sobering thought that. Until the little head swells up and sober thoughts go straight out the window.

but few of us here are doctors, and none of us saw it with our own eyes.  What are we going to tell you?  Maybe it's "something," maybe it's not.  Only time (and testing) will tell.  You'll just have to sweat it out till then.  If we told you, "don't worry, it's nothing," you'd just be living in a fool's paradise if it turned out to be "something" after all.

As for temporarily not engaging in potentially infectuous activities because you think you might be infected, I hope we all would be so considerate.

scorekeeper,
i certainly have made mistakes in judgement but when it comes to diseases that's one area that there is no room for mistake.
if i notice a client with red bumps or anything remotley looking like herpes i will pass up the $ and not continue the session
same goes in my personal life

keeps the lights low and 'romantic' and undresses seductively from lingerie to bedsheets in a way that disallows any clear 'inspection'?
