guests and STD's
I'm planning a party and I know that at least two of my guests have STD's. They have told me this in confidence but I'm worried that they might infect other's at the party. I have two options, one is to reserve on of my bathrooms ony for them (I have one in the fully finished basement.) The other option is to leave clorox wipes in the bathroom and ask them to disinfect the bowl after they are done. They are both understanding but I dont' want to hurt thier feelings or make them feel "unclean."
Has anyone else had this situation?
Re: guests and STD's
Hire a bathroom attendant to hand out toilet seat covers and wipe down the bathroom after your friends use it. Or mark one bathroom for them and another for everyone else. Or tell them there are no restrooms and to go the McDonald's down the street.
HTH! YWIA!
Shaving is no cure.
Just tell them to hold it. Oh, and make sure they don't get drunk and pass things around in other ways.
I don't think so but you can make a really lovely one with scrap-booking materials.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You get your own restroom
Oh yes, it's true!
Warts are ugly
And crabs will burrow
This simple request I'm making
Should not cause your brow to furrow
Wine is tasty
So is cheese
You don't need to bring anything
Because of your STDs please

I prefer something a little more free-style:
Your crotch
Is Festering
So the guests, don't be pestering
Honestly, the best thing
Is for you to stay home.
go with Haiku. It's classier.
"Your crotch is icky-gross
Syphillis and crabs galore
Do not pee in here."
The first question is: is it something that can actually be passed by toilet seat? Only few STD's can be transmitted that way. If so, then I suggest the Clorox wipes for the seat. That way the other guests don't wonder why they have their own restroom.
If it's not something that can be passed by toilet seat then don't worry about it. Hopefully they will not pass it in other ways to your guests.
It really is an awkward situation & you can't just yell "Hey, don't use that bathroom because so&so has an STD!" Good luck & hopefully your friends will understand your predicament.
As you feel sorry for my husband, I have an honest question. If this is such a concern, Why are these people even invited? I'm not saying that you should not be friends with them, but I think this occasion will sort of make you lose your friends anyway when you relay to them how concern you are about this.
Like someone said before, not every STD is passed this way, so are you sure that the one they have will be?
Are you going to assign them a particular plate and cup for the night?
I'm sure they rather stay home than being put in a bubble at your party. Just my two cents.
BTW, this is not true, this would not be an issue if they didn't sleep around and had unprotected sex, just saying!
How does one bring this up in conversation anyway?
"Hey! How've you been? I'm having a party on Thursday night for New Year's. Why don't you stop by?"
"Sure! No problem. We've been good. Oh, I have crabs, by the way."
Maybe that's when you should have addressed it. "OK. Not a problem. Just don't sit on my potty seat if you have to go. We have a perfectly good backyard for you."
Hahaha
IMO you should all just have unprotected group sex. That way, you won't have to worry whether or not you'll catch anything.
hth.
I am unsure as to which kind of party is going to have a section of entertaining that requires genitals to touch in the bathroom because in the general public of which I often go out and find myself entertained I generally do not share the bathroom and use the facilities at the same time as another so my genitals will not come into contact with another person's genitals unless of course it is my husband but he has not yet asked me to shave my lady hair even though we go to many parties which do not require my parts to touch another person's parts in the bathroom.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Love is all one needs for love.
YOU CAN GET STD's FROM A TOILET SEAT!
*Pubic lice are known as Phthirus pubis. Lice infestation is found mostly in adolescents.
Transmission generally occurs during sexual activity. However, it also can occur through physical contact with contaminated objects such as toilet seats, sheets, and blankets. Some women have gotten pubic lice while trying on bathing suits at a store. *
