OP wanked to his dad. This thread is an alternate universe, all is okay.

HSV-2 is apparently pretty common. I think 1/4 chances?

To OP: I dated a woman who had it. We had been on 3-4 dates and I could tell she was hiding something. So she finally told me she had the virus, this was before having sex, and I thanked her for being honest.

If this story is true, it will take a lot of courage to tell people, but that is your burden to bear. You will definitely come across people who don’t want to continue dating you, but you will also find some that will.

That woman I met is now married and seems as happy as I can assume over social media.

Good luck. Have courage. Keep looking.
