Going Viral

"Safe sex, for men, is when their wives are out of town."
The Chemical Buddha was sexually active when the bombshells of HIV and herpes hit the one-night stand scene. And although he was never in a serous relationship, he did take notice of the rampant concern of people bringing some serous STDs home to their partners And while safer sex was to use a condom (which TCB was in favor of because it doubled his stamina from 15 seconds to 30 seconds). His married friends talked about the safest sex being with a condom while their spouse/partner was out of town. Just so you know, The Chemical Buddha was an early adopter of both HIV and herpes and contracted it as soon as he found out about it. To his way of thinking, he no longer needed to worry about catching it later on. Which really freed his mind from all of the needless worry of someone giving it to him.

Herpes: Forget-Me-Nots

“Venereal diseases are to help you remember nights you’d rather forget.”
Like most serious drug addicts, The Chemical Buddha didn’t have a very good memory. He could remember where to buy drugs and how to use them. But, no matter if he was high or sober, he couldn’t remember what he did or who he did it with. So it’s no surprise that he couldn’t remember who he'd stuck his dick in or what the result of that sticking was. So when he found red bumps all over his dick, he would just think they had always been there. Just like he thought it had always burned when he peed. Or like how he couldn’t remember a time when puss didn’t ooze out. He figured life had always been and always would be that way. Sometimes we wish we could see the world as he did. Especially when we look down at our own genitals and remember a time before we met The Chemical Buddha. A time before those red bumps weren’t there.

It's not Jock Itch

“Ex-lovers are like herpes. They pop up at the worst times and ensure you’re not going to get laid.”
While The Chemical Buddha had a lot of STDs he didn’t have a lot of lovers (that he could remember). So if he was on a 'date' with another woman, and was approached by his 'girlfriend' he wasn’t pretending when he acted like he didn’t know/remember he was dating/fucking her too. Of course, not remembering them didn’t help deescalate the problem. In fact, it just made things a lot worse. Until the women realized, it was The Chemical Buddha they were arguing over after all. Then they’d usually laugh their assess off and go to another bar together. Leaving TCB to figure out what the hell was going on and why all this stress had caused an itching sensation in his pants. It took more than one of these encounters to make The Chemical Buddha figure out he should just invite people over to his place or go over to theirs. Which worked perfectly, until he came across two roommates he’d unknowingly fucked.
