Yo,

Bad news boys. Title says it.

What's a general rule of thumb to inform your other partners?

A couple things:

- I have no symptoms
- It had to be one of two partners I've been with
- Unprotected sex was agreed on by both of us
- It's curable


My approach right meow is just to send a ping text like, hey you got a minute to chat? And then call her and give it to her straight, telling her it's okay and be understanding about everything. Then, talk as normal and perhaps even schedule a date.

Tidbits or thoughts?

Good that you tested negative. And based on your other post, the other dude is the guilty party :)

As to your original question though, what you suggested is exactly what I did and it went off fine.

I actually felt that my value could have been increased in their eyes by just tackling it like a man.

I did suggest another date with one of the girls, nothing came of it but she was friendly enough on the phone.

Before bringing up the issue on the phone, I made sure each girl was alone, as I didn't want to screw up her reputation.

cheers, Ray
