Hello everyone, this is Foggy with some questions of an adult nature for th adults of this community. Would those who are under the age of majority in their home please not continue on here, or do so aware that this is adult in nature.



Right, now that it's just us...

I have some questions about sexual health and this place. We come from a variety of worlds and times, and that means a variety of possible diseases and the ever possible pregnancy from the right sorts of activities.

Has anyone gathered information about STDs and this place? There's not a lot in the way of medicine, so it's something we need to keep on top of, especially with people coming and going with no warning.

And pregnancy. Is there some sort of protection people are using? Are we being safe, people?

We're adults. I know we're having sex. But we need to make sure everyone's safe and frankly, that we're not having babies in this place.

After the last week or so, that's the conversation we're having here? Wow.

People don't seem to be sick here from all the intercourse, so I can't say what's going on there.

[clouded_heart]

You mean the last week where a bunch of us vanished and there was nothing that could be done to stop it and when people got back there were a lot tearful and impassioned reunions?

[skyward_eyes]

Somehow with the emotional states running as they were, I have a hard time thinking it played out quite that way.

[clouded_heart]

You're young, aren't you? Maybe a bit sheltered from sex?

Trauma and horror cause *skyrocketing* birth rates. It's a basic drive to reaffirm being alive.

I may be young, but I've had more partners than I can even count off the top of my head. Including plenty of randoms. Don't assume sheltered due to age.

And assuming that I know nothing about trauma and horror is also inherently faulted. Mercenaries know plenty about wanting sex after almost dying. What happened up there? That wasn't almost dead. That wasn't reaffirming being alive. Not for all of us. Not for a LOT of us.

[clouded_heart]

I said *nothing* about being sheltered from trauma or horror, just sex. One of my oldest friends was blinded and orphaned as a child, so I know kids can go through some awful shit.

I don't know what happened up there. I wasn't there. I only have what I heard from people who wanted to tell me about it. I know what happens with most people in my world when exposed to horror. They have sex. Good things? Have sex. Bad things? Have sex. Humans in my world? Have sex with very little provocation.

This conversation has to happen some time. I put it up now, because I know it was relevant for some people, at least. You don't want part of it, or think it's the inappropriate time? That's your opinion.

[skyward_eyes]

Wow, sounds like you and your personal friends just have a sex addiction, not that this is necessarily a basic human reaction.

[clouded_heart]

[ There's no reply. ]

[skyward_eyes]

[That's okay, he has a parting shot anyway.]

Thing is, this conversation, it's good. Your frame is terrible.

i guess these are our priorities now

[skyward_eyes]

I mean, two weeks ago this would have been a good conversation to have. And this probably is a priority conversation that no one had considered having to my knowledge?

But shouldn't we be talking about mental health support right now?

[oorah]

we did a support group after that bunker bullshit. idk if it helped but we could try it again?

[ better than whatever the fuck this is... ]

[skyward_eyes]

Not sure how many people would agree to go, but it's not a bad idea.

There was some really bad stuff there, Frank. I'm worried about people doing stupid things as a result.

[Says the guy with the sprained ankle due to stupid things as a result.]

[oorah]

i hear you. and i'm not a great judge of stuff like that, it took me years to try therapy and then i started getting snatched up to places like this so i guess i'll never really know if it made a difference. and the last meeting was just people shouting at each other but maybe it'll help air some shit out? i'm not going to be there either way but i just thought i'd throw it out there.

people doing stupid things is basically my main concern here always. welcome to my daily life nida.

[skyward_eyes]

I would mostly worry about reckless behavior leading to self harm, but you can't control people I guess.

Of course people don't take me serious when I suggest these things. Any suggestion who I could put this idea out to in hopes of getting traction?

[oorah]

mark organized the last one.

[skyward_eyes]

As in the guy who went and had people check in?

[oorah]

that's the one. he's always doing shit like that. grows some mean weed too.

[skyward_eyes]

Weed?

[Whether that's a question of 'what is weed' or 'are you kidding me that is a good/bad idea' is up for debate.]

[oorah]

yeah he leaves it up on the porch for anyone to take.

[skyward_eyes]

I just don't know what to do with that information. But I suppose it's useful or something.

Probably healthier to handle stress for this whole thing might be that.

[oorah]

it works for me.

[ if only anyone had figured out pot was the way to get the punisher to chill the fuck out before he was on his second term as a transplant in a horror town. ]

[skyward_eyes]

I haven't heard from Kamala yet. I mean, I haven't gone looking too much. Is she okay?

[oorah]

not really. she could probably use someone to talk to.

[ someone who isn't him being the ultimate implication. ]

[skyward_eyes]

Oh. Uh.

If she wants someone closer to her own age, point her at me. I mean, I might be absolutely terrible at helping, but I listen well.
