It's funny because literally no one would know you had herpes if you didn't sleep around. You'd be less likely to catch it in the first place, in fact, it'd probably go damn near extinct if the social contract was put into its rightful place.
Now no one wants your ugly, smelly, diseased vagina. Deal with. If I had cysts and warts on my dick no one would want to come near me - the stigma exists for a good reason.
"STDs wouldn't exist if we had the social contract of yore" is provably false and a retard level take.
Sexual Disease was so rampant in the 1500-1700s that wigs and makeup to cover syphilis scars were accepted into mainstream culture which persists to this day.
Education about herpes IS needed, and is evident here. Even OP seems to think it makes your dick shrivel with boils 24/7, when in fact it's incredibly opportunistic and hides extremely well. Particularly on women it can be almost impossible to spot depending on how the labia is shaped. It may also be in areas covered by hair, which is why the "merkin" came into being around the same time.
Most people here seem to have zero experience with women, which I guess shouldn't be surprising. Most of the time these diseases are not obvious and I have seen young men get caught by this before. We need more education about these diseases, not less... But it needs to be truly academic and not as described in the article.

"The social contract" was always a lie.
There's a fine and important distinction between "not completely effective" and "total lie."
"Breaking the stigma" and "educating" about herpes can only hurt everyone.

We could all stand to be more worldly, but dudes shouldn't be plowing a bunch of women either.
As Tony Soprano said, "I've been teshted! Who do you think I am!" Probably a good idea to start there for LTRs etc.
We need leper colonies for these whores.
