When you get right down to the root cause, you can't fix stupid and horny is a hard hill to overcome.
Reminds me of this cute little poem:
My genes done gone and tricked my brain
By making fucking feel so great
That's how the little creeps attain
Their plan to fuckin' replicate
But brain's got tricks itself, you see
To get the bang but not the bite
I got this here vasectomy
My genes can fuck themselves tonight.

Blindsight is awesome. I was so pumped he made his works freely available.
Have you read the rifters trilogy? It has a mildly odd voice, imho, but overall a great series.

Simple really, cure the STD called life and stupid and horny are gone too.
Only bacterial STIs are curable. Viral ones are not. Some have vaccines and some have treatments, but no cures.
I think they meant like a vaccine to eradicate it? Fingers crossed this person got treated
Got to love the double stupid. So is this guy seriously just going to live with it and assume there is no treatment rather than you know finding out if there is a treatment?
Also what's a birth control pill going to do?
The pill prevents both people from ruining their lives
The pill prevents 2 people from ruining a brand new life.
As a ruined brand-new life almost a half century ago, I endorse this message. I promise ya'll would have been FINE without me.
Awwwww, don't say that, ameancow. We love you!

I think OP is talking about the anti HIV PrEP pill, which is a cool thing but hard to get.
HIV is not giving you painful urination a few days later.
I know duh, that doesn’t change the fact that OP was most probably not talking about contraception pills, which wouldn’t help neither in that scenario.

Depending on your country. It's easy to get in Australia, there may be programs in your country to get it to you for a discount or free.
There are also things like doxy pep, antibiotics taken before and after exposure to bacterial infections which are only prescribed to people with, shall we say, high volume sex lives to offset the cost/benefit ratio of taking possibly uneccesary antibiotics
"But I can't wear a condom! My penis is so huge it feels constricted! You don't understand!"
Mate, your dick is not too big for a condom. Stop being an idiot.
They make large condoms. I'm blessed enough that I have to use large and even with that it was constricting enough that I usually couldn't cum with one on. I still ALWAYS wore a condom until I got engaged to my wife. I understand that the benefits outweigh the risks.
Random story that is mostly not related here but I wanna tell it so I'm going to.
I almost can't get off when having sex. Like, it's a chore and it fucking sucks to try. Even without a condom it's just not happening.
I hook up with this lady, she says guys finish really fast with her and I'm like, well, that's not going to happen here.
With a condom on I turn into a 4 pump chump. This lady was not super hot or anything. But damn.
Outside of a few years after starting to have sex, I've never had thst experience before or since. I always wonder what made the difference.
Her kegels could probably crack walnuts. You're lucky you walked away with your dick still attached.
Would have been worth it!
For me, it wasn't the constriction, it was that lowered sensitivity. There are thin ones and there are magnums. I need the mags, which I haven't seen with a thin option (though I haven't bought condoms in years and maybe that'd be an option now). I'm glad to be beyond that mess.
I had some luck with Kimono MicroThin XLs.

The only thing I remember from health class was the teacher putting her whole arm in a condom.
Which is shocking given how anti-sexhealth my parents were and the community I grew up in at large. No idea how that teacher had a job but damn, respect.
I kinda hate that kind of demonstration because arms have bones, dicks do not, so it's not really a valid one. They're basically blood balloons and condom size actually does matter to them working. There is such a thing as too small (or too large)
Seriously, it does way more harm than good giving the impression that condoms are a one-size-fits-all thing. An uneducated guy could buy a box, use the whole package getting soft every time because his dick is getting put in a mild sleeper hold, and come to the conclusion that he can't have sex with a condom.
Proper health education for boys and young men should include talking about "finding the condom that works for you." Women don't usually do one set of birth control and just go with it forever no matter how shitty it is, they try different things until they find one that works, sucks the least, or find an alternative. They don't just try a pill, have side effects, and give up on the idea of birth control because some ignorant teacher suggested that all birth control is the same because (makes some inane demonstration).
Sometimes hearing y'all talk about health Ed classes that actually taught y'all stuff is wild to me. I live in a red state. Sex education for me was basically a two-day seminar where they showed us pictures of the gnarliest venereal diseases they could find. Like that's it. We didn't see a condom at all. Learning about condoms for us was first hand. In a Motel 6 that took cash with my girl after we bought a few different brands to try them out.
Given my state and area I grew up I'm surprised. When I joined the military I got the bombardment of "here are STDs!" Scare tactics. And I can't recall they talked about condoms. Pretty crazy.
I have to special order mine internationally and wait weeks because the ones locally simply don't work for me, but I still wear 'em
Yeah my penis is really big too, totally - I have to do this too. cough
It is both a blessing and a curse, I'll just say that

anon is posting from WW1 deployment
Hello anon, welcome to the finding out phase.
Amazing how anons manage to fuck up every social situation even if they are nominally successful at something
maybe managing to achieve something will turn your name into a successful brand, a graduation from anon if you will
