im sorry, the number of pills a + person must take is actually closer to 20-30 with most of them being pills that counter-act the toxic properties of the base HIV medications. -Eric

a friend of mine was diagnosed with HIV after a party like 6 months ago this WILL scare you so psych yourself up HIV infection is often mis-diagnosed as the flu Symptoms take a few months to show up but when they do a few common ones are extreme diarrhea, weakness, fatigue (usually extreme almost like mononucleosis) oral thrush (a white coating of the tongue that often looks furry) repeated cold sores on the mouth or genitals. Forgetfulness and loss of coordination, a high fever that sticks for a week or so (usually about 102 degrees) unexplained weight loss, usually 10-20 pounds in a month or so. These are just a few, and while it is impossible to discern the flu from HIV without a test this is the frightening part... My friend had NONE of those symptoms, he got tested 3 months after that party and got his news with no prior symptoms at all. He now takes somewhere close to 50-75 pills a day known as the "cocktail" that just makes him feel like complete crap, however his viral load has reached undetectable levels so he isn't close to developing AIDS In short, symptoms cannot be used to diagnose HIV infection, if you've had sex that you are skepticle about go to a doctor, bite your lip, and do the test. Its called an ELISA test and the results can take anywhere from 2 days to 10 (the most miserable time of your life if your scared of it) if you're positive there are dating services and support groups filled with people that are in the exact same situation and just want to make whats left of their lives ok, it isn't a disease to be stereotyped...its a real problem that only keeps growing and growing, its just sad that i had to learn it all because a friend had one night of fun Good luck, you have no idea how much im pullin for you, -Eric

never hurts to try if your confident or can handle a possible laughing fit because it was such a random thing to say lol -Eric

amen, you've showed great respect for her which should do the trick. Honestly, just reading that "im too lazy to do you" quote or whatever has my blood boiling, jeeze... Leave her, chances are if your like this normally alot of other girls are clawing at your door. -Eric

i agree, kissing once when you are drunk isn't anything to go with. I had the same crush when i was like...12 on an 18 year old and we kissed once and ill be damned if she didn't forget about me the second she hit college. You just gotta accept the fact that he's a little bit too old, college girls are an exciting breed and do you really wanna be hurt once he figures out that they'll do things you might not be comfortable with? -Eric

head can't compare with sex -Eric

ugh...anal sex?! are you forreal?! dude, how could it NOT hurt...things werent meant to go IN that orifice...only come OUT...i mean if she doesn't like it i doubt she'll be itching to try it again you know? I honestly can't think of a way to get her back into that... sorry -Eric

heh my wisdom stems directly from me doing the same thing! reading email is VERY Satisfying while your reading it...but not so sastisfying once you discover something you don't want to hear or that other person finds out. For me, it almost ended up in a fight with a Navy SEAL in training which..even though im a tall guy (6'7 220)...didn't bode well for me lmao. keep me posted, having personal experience with matters like this im interested in how it turns out 8) -Eric

*sigh...performance anxiety its common in younger guys vs. older guys i believe, that first time jitter almost proves it, was he shaking? like his leg...or his hand...was he really cold? the whole 9 yards. If hes your age it is possible to ask for ED medicine to help get him confidence, and it does not work too well resulting in the fabled 4 hour erection that permanently damages your penis. I know because ive taken a Cialis pill before as sort of an experiement.... "corking the bat" if you will and even though i had no trouble before that, it was to the point where it was almost annoying how easy it was to get me up lol. whether or not boys admit it, they all want these pills just to alleviate the need to get it up..the worry is completely erased because with me at least, literally the sight of a breast shifting side to side had me up and ready to go lmao it was quite funny. Talk to him about it, tell him to ask his Dr. and keep his secret please...or else youll probably cement his anxiety forever haha. Good luck, -Eric

hey, i know your hurting, and honestly...before the email stunt you had a chance yes. However, after reading his mail and letting him know it...you might have pulled a last straw. This isn't all bad though, from the sounds of things he had a double personality when it comes to you, to cry to you and make over your relationship like it was his life, and then ask his ex if she had any hot friends says that he is just searching for female attention. I say keep ignoring him, once he hits rock bottom he'll come crawling back and if that happens itll be up to you whether or not the situation is right to take him back...your decision, hope you make the right one! -Eric

if your a girl then it sounds like your boyfriend is what every man aspires to be. assuming your completely satisfied that is, are you using condoms? thats probably your issue, if you dont trust enough to use birthcontrol then dont expect him to be cumming any time soon you know? -Eric

thisll sound random but wow...i wish i lived in nebraska nice pic -Eric

its all about scare tactics...yeah you might think its cool to hook up with a chick at a party... but just wait until the day one of your dudes wakes up with HIV and can't go out with you anymore because his viral load is dangerously high. Thats enough to make anybody say no to sex -Eric

watch the wandering eyes while in class lol 8) i would kill to date a few of the student teachers that come through my area...maaaaaaan those are some good lookin girls. Got the librarian look to them as well, low cut business suits, thin-rimmed glasses, hair pulled back with bangs hanging over their eyes... please give me a DT so i can get to know you better miss (insert name here) -Eric

ok! because im bored ill enter mentally as well! holding eye contact for more than 5 seconds makes me go weak at the knees. not figuratively speaking either, when im walkin down a hallway and i catch a girl staring as i walk by with a wry little smile on her face i literally stumble each and everytime lol. So ladies dont be afraid to let your crush catch you starin, nothin gets the nerves goin more than being stared at, and nerves usually end up in a certain gesture along the lines of.... "wow i cant believe im doing this but your really pretty, could i have your........." staring FTW -Eric

wow dodger, wait until you get your first view of a heavy-set girl who sees the barbie clones and decides that she wants that kind of attention to so she buys and is wearing that thong one day while you walk by...bending over...and ba-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM boys and girls crack kills....*enters moment of silence* thongs arent sexy, ive seen so many of them in my day that they've lost all excitement (highschool is a big peepshow no joke) now whats REALLY sexy, is walking up to a girl's door when your mad at her, havin her open it in a tank top and track pants with her granny-pantie lines showin, hair slightly messy but the eye makeup still there... her smiling, leaning against the doorway, flipping her hair out of her eyes and saying, "is there something i could do for you?" to which your mind responds " guuuuuhhhhhhh, why am i mad at you again and could you please kiss me" i mean lets face it, all of those guys who like their girls make-up caked...thong hangin...boobs bustin out...havent been around a woman who looks like she couldnt care less...and not caring is definetly one of the sexiest things a woman could do. -Eric

oh man i know the feeling lmao but hey at least your crush is lookin at you cuz he likes you it sounds like...mine looked at me for god knows what reason and since asking her out and gettin a maybe we haven't spoken to each other since... then today i make a huge fool out of myself with this big school project thing because i changed what i was supposed to say and it threw alot of kids off so they were all pissed and she was there and i coulda swore i heard someone (in my head it was her even though it didn't sound like her really) say, "god he thinks hes so smart" and jeeeezzzzzeeeee i wish it was summer or something so i never have to see any of these people again lmfao -Eric

condoms do indeed cut the feeling DRASTICALLY...not even the supposed super-sensitive ones feel too spectacular but you know what the best part is? Apart from protection against HIV, you last twice as long! (maybe even 3 times) and in my opinion...id rather last until everybody is finished then the alternative of losing myself and ending up with a present named Eric Jr. -Eric

eh what can ya do, ignore FTW this time

Hey guys, Ok heres the deal, over the past few weeks id been watching a girl in my class for tell-tale signs that she was interested. She smiled when talking to me, we talked really easily around each other, walked together down the hallway once or twice. For a project we had i was greeted while walking in the door with a "HEY ERIC! do you wanna do this project with me and mike (an old friend no attraction)?!" When i arrived to take the SAT on saturday i thought she was looking at me ALOT so i pretended not to notice. She even suggested i apply at her work and told me to mention that i knew her...i got the job and now work with the girl i eventually just had to try my luck and thought i had all the judgement on my side...so i asked her out Crash.Burn.Die. any adj you can think of...she said "maybe" i mean what is "maybe" (besides no obviously). Well its the day after i asked now...and she hasn't said a word to me all day. I walked by her and her friends this morning and i thought she was looking at me but i was so embarrassed i just sort of walked on by...i never got my actual no and i just dropped it, i asked her a question regarding a project we were doing today and she talked normally to me but it was just a sentence and then back to nothing. Did i make a huge fool of myself here? Was i wrong to think she liked me? or did i just handle the "maybe" (god i hate that word) wrong. Help me whats going through her mind...i ignored her today pretty heavily and dont know what else to do other than that. -Eric

/applaude keep your virginity it makes you that much sexier to girls i think. Its like proof that your not all about sex. 2ndly i didn't know middle school (or freshman?) girls were that in to sex...alot changes in 2 years i guess and no your no less of a good person since your attracted to your friend for her. Its easy to be attracted to close friends because thats what most adult relationships need to be based on in order to succeed. The couple must be friends, and by the way you talk about sex its no surprise that your a step above your friends in the maturity department lol. Keep on givin guys a good name! lord knows there are enough bad ones out there haha, -Eric

pretty sure, we talked about each fight but she always had problems with me because i didn't have the same views and morals she did, it must have just been a tough situation, i don't see what else a high school couple can do other than talk you know?

after 8 months, promises of better things, fighting over religion, politics, whether or not it was ok to live with someone...the color of my hair (trent reznor look alike if anybody knows) her parents making insane rules...me just using her for the sex that i never got in the first place we broke up. i feel like crap and really regret it, is it the right thing to have done? She tried so hard to make me stay, promised that it would be better but shed promised all of that before, she said that all we needed was a day of fun to take our minds off of our problems but all i could think of was that right when i got home they would all enter my mind again. Was i selfish? we fought every other...sometimes every week about little things, she was suspicious of girls at every turn and i just couldn't take that, is that selfish? My mind is telling me it isn't but my heart is calling myself every name in the book but i know if i go back it will be the exact same, did i do the right thing? -Eric

thats what my mom keeps saying...she doesn't think ill be allowed to have any fun. My girlfriend is obsessed with looking at the colleges together and she says its just pressuring her to have sex with me and that if i loved her i wouldn't want to live with her. I even came flat out and told her that i just wanted to make sure we could get along when we are together ALL the time. She blew up at that and you know how it goes from there. I was just looking for some confidence that i wasn't the only person who thought it was ok to live with someone before your married. Thanks guys, -Eric

Hey guys, I have a question... My girlfriend is extremely pissed at me because i said i wanted to live with the person i was going to be married to BEFORE we got engaged. Shes a devout catholic and i am a non-practicing lutheran so i have extremely different views about 9/10's of things than she does. But my question is, is it ok to want to live with someone before making the committment of engagement? -Eric
