Question:
I've found that when I am actively sexual, I get more frequesnt OB's. This has put such a damper on my relationship...luckily my bf is very supportive and understanding, but this sucks cuz I have a really high sex drive!!!!

How do you all deal with this?

Answer:
Absolutely. For a long time, sex essentially "woke up" the virus in me. In fact, pelvic exams/pap smears did too, and the physician even acknowledged that this could happen. I think any kind of physical manipulation around all of the nerves in that area has some causal affect for an outbreak. Time is the only 'cure' for this it seems. I don't have this problem to the extent that I use to but it took a long time to get there.

Answer:
Does this mean a non-existent sex life?!!! If you experienced the same type of thing, how did/do you continue to have a satisfying and active sex life?

It doesn't matter for me whether it's slow sex with lots of lube, or really rough without enough lube...I always seem to wake up the next morning with symptoms of an OB.

Another thing for me that I've had to stop entirely, is brazillian waxing. I founc that every time I got a wax, I'd have an OB the very next day. Relation you think or coincidence?!
