There was a big gay Bear event in Dallas when the 2022 outbreak happened in the states. People didn't really know about it until later, and hundreds of guys were exposed. Several in the local community got it, and doctors were recommending people not wear shorts to the office, because skin on the waiting room chairs was a risk.
Can't imagine how many people took it home.
So do not have sex with people who have it, and if you suspect you've been exposed, don't have sex with anyone.

Oh my heart. Just reading that was crushing. Those poor people. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, self-play is better than risking the pox - and not just for the adults involved; in Africa, the strongest profile for mortality was among infants and small children in households with the disease. So brutal.
