    Default customers can give you nipple herpes :( nipple protection?

    I just learned this from the unfortunate "Customers sucking breasts" thread. Googled it and yeah, if a customer has oral herpes and puts his spit on your nipples you can get it there.

    I've always hated the popular attitude that herpes or any other sexual illness makes a person "unclean." Diseases are diseases and the fact that there's a huge stigma attached to sexually transmitted ones is really just an extension of slut shaming, which I loathe.

    But the idea of getting a lifelong disease from a customer that I probably hate and never want to think of again, who has already sickened me by sliming on a sensitive and intimate part that I never wanted to share with him . . . it's too much, I would just feel violated all over again every time I had an outbreak and I don't know if I would ever be able to shake the feeling of the customer's asshole-ness being a permanent part of my body. I know victims shouldn't have to feel this way but I know I would anyway, and I know I'm not the only one. I really feel for victims of assault who are going through this, because even though the disease itself isn't a huge deal the psychological impact could just be awful. Like it's messing me up and I don't even HAVE herpes so far.

    There are always those customers who are "lungers" and will manage to catch a nipple. Before I would just snap "Don't do that," but now I know that by then it's too late because their saliva is already germing all over my breast. I NEVER want their spit on me again. I mean I never wanted it in the first place, but now, in addition to being deeply disgusted by it, I am also completely terrified.

    I made this thread because I need to stop customers from making the mouth-to-nipple connection before it happens. Maybe pasties, or other decor on the nipple, but I don't want it to hurt my earnings since none of the other girls wear them. So something that exposes the nipple so they can see it, but also covers it so they can't put their mouth on it. Has anyone tried something like these: http://www.yandy.com/Pink-Crystal-Heart-Pasties.php ? Tips for wearing? Or, does anyone have some recommendations for body paint? Have you tried similar things and had success? And anyone who wants to talk me down from this freakout is also welcome.

    I have close friends with herpes and I KNOW it's not a big deal. I'm so annoyed with myself for thinking this way.

    You can get herpes anywhere on your body. It's not common but it can happen. I don't want to freak you out even more but it's true, herpes sores can show up absolutely anywhere, they're just usually either on the mouth or genitals.

    I don't know how I've lucked out so much by always avoiding asshole's mouths but maybe it's because I have an "I don't take any shit" personality. I'll grab some fish faced jerk by his fat fucking cheeks and say, "DO NOT FUCKING LICK ME ASSHOLE!" loud enough that people around us turn to stare and he either gets pissed and storms off or gets really embarrassed and stops.

    Ooh, I just had a thought but I have no idea if it would actually work. Could you put clear fingernail polish over your nipples? Or clear acrylic spray?

    LMAO, I genuinely have no idea if that would work or if it's even safe to put on skin but that's all I can think of to ease your concerns about nipple herpes.

    That doesn't freak me out as much as it surprises me. And here I thought I was all progressive and educated about sex.

    i've gotten to the point where i just don't get my nipples anywhere near their dirty mouths anymore, and if im sitting on their lap facing them, i guess you could put a hand over your breast of nipple, looks like you are caressing your breast when you are just protecting it. some nude clubs wont let you wear pasties ( like mine), and it would most probably hurt your money. my nipples are one of my best assets..but an asset that doesn't want to be licked. state it before hand too, and make them pay upfront.
    what irks me even more is when i have my back turned and they lick their finger and get it all gooey and dripping with saliva and then try and finger fuck me.
    its so sad we even have to have discussions like these

    I actually used to work at a club where you had to wear pasties and the majority of the girls used latex "puffy" (fabric) paint... so I would say yes the latex is quite safe IME

    The hsv virus prefers a mucus membrane, such as the vagina or mouth. Macklemoreover, if he does not actively have a cold sore, the likelihood of you getting hit by car vs getting that virus from him is amazingly higher. It is so super uncommon to contract cold sores on a part of your body that is not either an open wound or a mucus membrane. You should be much more worried about mrsa or poison oak or lice. Viral shedding is a thing, but the numbers are low, roughly seven unconsecutive days of the year. This is why we don't see people with cold sores on their foreheads, necks, etc.
    In short, do not ever put your boobs in any customers face ever and never cross the street.

    I know someone who got nipple herpes from her boyfriend. Like Toe said it's an extremely low chance, but... I'm thinking of it this way. If you contract herpes on your nipples, you can never get the same strain on your genitals. And nobody ever would recognize it as an STD during an outbreak. Not much consolation, but I think it would help me cope if the unlikely happened.

    ^Not true. You can contract one strain in two different places, and plenty of people have self-infected. However, if a person already has antibodies to one strain, because they are already infected in, say, the mouth, then the likelihood of them displaying symptoms of any subsequent infection of the SAME STRAIN on another part of the body is somewhat lowered.
    That being said, my boyfriend has the same strain orally and genitally, but only ever showed genital symptoms once.
    Now I'm gonna threadjack. Cold sores are the least big deal of any virus. They do almost nothing. They do not affect your general health and well being, regardless of their location. Most people who have the virus are completely unaware because it's easily vanquished by a healthy immune system, and a great majority of those who do know they have end up only having one or two episodes and then never again showing symptoms. IT IS NOTHING. Everyone treats it like this horrible thing, and being afraid of it is part of the stigma. You've probably known/met plenty of people who have it, but it's not something anyone talks about. Just. Stop. Also, any virus you ever contract stays in your system forever, except the antibodies you produce will render it ineffective and you'll get over the symptoms. In a number of people, HSV is able to get around that and recur occasionally. Oooo scary *rolls eyes* It's a very small blister-type thing that lasts less than a week in most healthy humans. Nothing to fret over.

    Oh, good to know! I knew it was possible, but thought the chances were really one in a million.

    And yes, herpes is medically insignificant unless you have it vaginally and happen to pass it on during childbirth. At least this is what every Dr I've begged to do a blood test has told me. The medical community gives so few fucks that most Drs will never perform one.

    If I got herpes from my boyfriend it would hardly bother me at all. Because it would be his herpes.

    I am feeling better about this whole situation thanks to all you helpful girls.

    Yes girl. Herps is the least of your worries. Staph should be your main concern. I know tons of dancers who've gotten that at work, and that disease can actually be of consequence.

    Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh that could have been my fault. Plot twist, I had MRSA in high school. Thank you for reminding me because now there's hope that some of those nipple violating customers caught it and were horribly disfigured from the boils.

    It's not even the thought of herpes that bothers me, because I know it barely does anything and most people's reactions to it are superstitious crap. But I'd never feel fully rid of the bad experience that transmitted it to me. It's the idea that the customer would still be able to fuck with me and my body long after I'd tried to put that garbage behind me, even when he's not around... like he gets that small piece of control over me forever and there's NOTHING I can do about it. Yeah I know I'm super wrong and that logically that's not even a thing, but damn, my disgust/hatred for that type of customer is way stronger than my logic.

    Hopefully this will all be a moot point anyway though.

    More than half of Americans, Europeans, and Canadians have HSV-1, primarily oral. Most experience no symptoms and don't even realize they have it. If you've never been tested for it - it requires a blood test that's not included on any standard panels - it's not unlikely that you have it yourself. If you do, there's a very, very low chance of getting a secondary infection on your nipples.

    HSV-1 is virtually unavoidable unless you demand a blood test from everyone you kiss. HSV-2 isn't all that easy to avoid, either. Unfortunately for us, men transmit it to women much more easily than women transmit it to men. Condoms only reduce transmission by about 30%, because ANY skin-to-skin genital contact can result in an infection. I had one partner who was so concerned about it that he wore boxers AND a condom EVERY time he had sex with ANYONE, even tested partners.

    I'd really rather not get HSV-2, so I do actually demand my partners get the blood test before sex. This is a really limiting factor on my sex life, as you can imagine. There's a big trade-off, and there's no "right" answer.

    Ditto, though I have asked that they get both.

    The thing about blood tests is that they don't determine where the site of infection is, and we know now that either strain will occur in either place. That's what my doctor used to tell me before when I would get blood tests done.

    When I worked at a club in huntsville, you HAD to cover your nipples with something (pasties/glue/or "titty paint" as we called it). Just go to the walmart craft section and look at the Puffy Paint. It's cheap and there are tons to choose from. They have everything from clear with glitter, to solid colors. This won't solve all your problems but at least it creates anther barrier between you and them!
    Hope that helps!

    You could try silicone covers or tape for your nipples. But the only true way to avoid it is to tell people not to lick you. or touch you for that matter. but yea, a feww layers of clear tape is hardly noticable in the club, and i would have to assume it it would give "limited protection".

    I hate to be a party pooper here, but herpes can be a *very* big deal later in life. In fact, it has been linked to Alzheimer's (something I'm sure everyone would not want to hear):

    Somehow, I've managed to avoid it, albeit not by accident. I take an anti-viral stack along with a lot of antioxidants, as well as use an anti-viral lubricant (Divine 9). Knock wood, still nothing. If you do have it, I'd highly recommend the anti-virals/antioxidants to keep your viral load as low as possible. If you want more info, please feel free to PM me.

    x2 on the party pooping. Sorry, but herpes is a lifelong condition, and just like any other lifelong condition, it is better managed in some individuals than others. Everyone has a different reaction to the virus and really the only way to tell whether it will be a "big" deal for you is to catch it and see what happens. My sister contracted hsv 1 from her bf a year ago and girl has been pretty miserable since, experienced multiple outbreaks, and is having a hell of a time kicking it. She is perfectly healthy, super athletic, and has hsv 1 downstairs where it doesn't even like to live. Call her the exception to the rule, but it's not always such a walk in the park tra-la-la-la-la deal with these kind of things. Not to mention the obvious effects it has had on her sex life and mental health. While it's true that herpes is definitely not a death sentence, there's something to be said for taking necessary precautions to at least TRY and protect yourself.

    Well, yes of course everyone should try to protect themselves. No one on here is saying to go spread your legs in a men's room and take on everyone who comes in bareback.

    But people shouldn't think life is over because they got herpes. There's no need to make people feel like they should eat a bullet for having it. Shit happens. On the list of bad shit that can happen to you, herpes is pretty low on the list, even though some people have abnormally bad reactions to it.
