Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / October 2003Stigma hotspots/coolspots question
Does anybody here have an idea how the "H stigma" problem in Germany compares to the U.S.? Is it more of a stigma there? Or less? And by how much? Or is it about the same? If anybody is familiar with Germany or Germans in general, I would appreciate your insight please. Thanks ;-) M2 I have no idea. Are you going there? ar > Does anybody here have an idea how the "H stigma" problem in Germany > compares to the U.S.? Is it more of a stigma there? Or less? And by [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks ;-) > M2 Nope. It's coming here (so to speak). So I may be able to answer my own question soon. Frankly though, I'd much rather know ahead of time.

Frankly though, I'd >much rather know ahead of time. >M2 Ahhhh, now I know EVERYSING! heh heh. You have both more and less to worry about than you could ever imagine. HSV is no problem at all. Don't be afraid of that. But German women (like Russian women) are STRONG, physically, mentally, and socially, and will likely out-dominate the average American male (you ain't merely average M2, so don't worry), UNLESS they are already predisposed to like you, in which case they will just squish you to death between their teutonic ... 'er, well... Of course, I have only limited personal experience in these regards, but I remember the relationship being somewhat business-like... Best wishes, good luck. Lay in a supply of strong beers, thick sausages, and Schubert! Take care, Mike the 1/2 Hun >On Fri, 24 Oct 2003 22:46:02 GMT, hatetheviruses wrote: >>I have no idea.

Not sure I like the sounds of that.

I mean German culture? >>will likely out-dominate the average >>American male (you ain't merely average M2, so don't worry) >ooooh my Gaaawwd ..... now I AM worried. Take her to The Mall. Nothing impresses Europeans like the vast opulence of the American shopping experience. Don't forget to take your credit card. Even moreso, absolutely nothing impresses Europeans more than the vast opulence of the American line of credit. ;-) >>they will just >>squish you to death between their teutonic ... >Not sure I like the sounds of that.

Yep, you'll be happily drowning in the vast ocean of Luuuuvvvvvvvvv. >>Lay in a supply of strong beers, thick >>sausages, and Schubert! >Thanks!

I mean German culture? Can you make farting noises with your armpits? They love that. Let us know how it goes! Mike Yes, this is a rather strange request M2. Care to tell us why you want to know these things? Maree > Does anybody here have an idea how the "H stigma" problem in Germany > compares to the U.S.? Is it more of a stigma there? Or less? And by [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks ;-) > M2 Strange? Certainly not! Just doing my research m'am ;-) Ya just never know when ya might be called upon to discuss and enlighten a foreign visitor on our favorite topic ... ... and it always helps to be aware of the other culture's views and opinions when doing so ;-) Soooo Maree, tell me everything you know, in 25 words or less, about German attitudes toward Herp. And don't dilly dally 'round cuz I'm runnin' outa time! M2 >Yes, this is a rather strange request M2.

I posted this last night but it never showed up on the servers anywhere so here it is again from a different server. This time in Germany LoL! Sorry if this is a duplicate. The other one may show up later <shrug> who knows. Anyhow, Jury's in. I don't know yet about all Germans. But one German in particular took the news without batting an eye. No big deal. However, she's baffled by the revelation that it's considered a big deal here in the states. I had a tough time explaining that one. M2 For email replace the second "2" with a "4" Woooohooooo ar > On Fri, 24 Oct 2003 08:59:57 -0500, M2 wrote: > >Does anybody here have an idea how the "H stigma" problem in Germany [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > For email > replace the second "2" with a "4" >Woooohooooo Wooohooo??? If that means what I think it means ... nope. You on the wrong track. Or at least you're a bit premature. Mike and I (and Maree I think) were just funnin' before. My best guess is this will continue/culmonate into a platonic friendship. But if it means something else .... what? M2 "Change 2nd "2" to "4" I meant that you told someone who didn't care. ar > >Woooohooooo > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > M2 > "Change 2nd "2" to "4" oh! yeah... WOOOOHOOOO!! LoL! Now if we could just enlighten the media, the medical community, and the U.S. population to the level of the average German, I'd feel like we've accomplished something LoL!

Of course, I know you well enough (well enough to call you by your first name: M2) to know that you wouldn't entice foreigners to jump the pond for romantic relations if you hadn't already discussed certain things. Indeed, since you hadn't previously discussed such things, you were inviting to come visit for the sake of friendship, and friends tell each other things. You dog you. Take care and have fun. And forget the malls and running up your credit cards. The really best aspects of America with which to stun our visiting European friends are the great American all outdoors, the wide open spaces, from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam. Go hiking. Go sailing. Go Enjoy. She'll love it. Mike >Go hiking. Go sailing. Go Enjoy. She'll love it. Can I borrow your kayaks? ;-) M2 >>Go hiking. Go sailing. Go Enjoy. She'll love it. >Can I borrow your kayaks? ;-) I only have one kayak, these days, and I'm not sure where you live except that it's in the south, but I'll be heading south with my boat in eleven days, if you can hang on that long. Of course, if you really want to go kayaking and can't wait, I'm sure there's a kayak rental place somewhere near you. Check yer yeller pages. Have fun and take care, Mike <snip> >Jury's in. >I don't know yet about all Germans. But one German in particular took >the news without batting an eye. No big deal. However, she's baffled >by the revelation that it's considered a big deal here in the states. >I had a tough time explaining that one. Not batting an eye at HSV wasn't hard to predict of someone who comes from a culture that revels in things like: http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,7641714%255E1702,00.html ;-) but, of course, trying to understand Americans' hangups concerning all matters sexual is a mystery for the ages. Well, *I* could explain it, but it would take all night. ;-) Woohoo woohoo! Mike I see this is a bit late, but thought I'd reply anyway. I spent a week in Germany one day... ::grin:: Actually, I found all of Europe much more liberal minded on the subject of anything to do with sex or male/female relationships than anywhere in the US. Even including California. Well...except for the people in England of course. ::big grin:: But, actually, that was back in the late 60's and early 70's so come to think of it, all those people are now grandparents like me. I really don't know anything about the current youth culture. Never mind... Hang in -G > Does anybody here have an idea how the "H stigma" problem in Germany > compares to the U.S.?

In much of Europe there is far more open flirting going on than in US or Oz. We are far more conservative when it comes to sexual matters. Regards, Maree > I see this is a bit late, but thought I'd reply anyway. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Thanks ;-) > > M2 |
