 Every now and then after a really good show you might end up feeling kinda “friendly”. O sea, como que tus calzones have a mind of their own and for some reason they want out! And as hard as you try keeping them on, no se, ¡como que no se puede! Perhaps it’s due to the shots of Cuervo and the endless rounds of Jack n’ Cokes that threw you a little over the edge. But next thing you know, you’re swapping saliva with some guy que no tiene o sea, nada que ver. Como que te dejas llevar por el momento y por el “You can’t blame me. I was drunk” factor and you lose control of your better judgement, and in some cases even of your underwear. Bueno, bueno, ¿para qué me hago la santa? Sí, señores, yo también he andado de resbalosa. But I would like to think that I’m better than that now, and that those days are behind me. Bueno, aside from the guy that I met at the parking lot of the NaCo Nights event. Wherever you are Daniel, Damian, Danny, whatever your name was, wherever you are my saliva swapper- I’ll never forget you!
BlacklistedBut, what happens when you wake up the next morning and chat with your friends over what a bad ass time you had the night before, and then all of a sudden, someone brings up your saliva swapping session. Yes it was you, don’t try to lie, don’t say you don’t remember. It was you acting all hoochified in the parking lot. Who cares que te vio todo el mundo, you had yourself a hell of a good time, right? Well, I’ll tell you this much, good luck dating anyone else, because in the scene, everyone knows everyone and their business. Consider yourself officially blacklisted! Wake up callPero espérate chiquitita, that’s not the worst. Imagínate que te vayas enterando que tu galanazo te pasó el herpes. That’s right…HERPES! Andale aventurera, ¿cómo te quedó el ojo? Truth of the matter is that more and more people find themselves in this situation. Pero no vayas a creer que si alguien tiene herpes te lo van a decir antes de resbalarse contigo. No chiquita, si así fuera, ¡ni las moscas! Simply put, don’t go around kissing people. Even the hottest girl or hottest guy can be a host to the herpes virus. What’s worse is that it can easily spread through sharing of drinks, kissing, and obviously oral sex. These are things that are unconsciously done whenever we attend gigs. We drink, we taste our friends’ drinks, we even greet our friends with a kiss on the cheek. In my opinion, it’s those habits that will be the end of the local scene. It won’t be because we have no local talent or because people stop going to shows. No señores, la escena se va a acabar por la pura enfermedad. No, pues si todo mundo se la está pasando así comi si nada, pues así ¿quien no? The 411According to herpes.com, http://www.herpes.com/, studies reveal that the largest increase occurring is with young teens. Each year more than 500,000 cases of diagnosed genital herpes are reported in the U.S. alone. Treatment for early signs of herpes can possibly treat it. Did you know that you could even go blind because of herpes? It’s called ocular herpes, which in complicated cases can lead to blindness. It’s caused by spreading de herpes simplex-1 virus (HSV-1) to the eye and infecting the conjunctiva and the cornea. HSV-1 is also the same virus that causes cold cores.

You’re having fun and the last thing on your mind is if your one night saliva swapper is infected. But when it comes to your health, there’s no measure that should be overlooked. Simply use protections and choose your saliva recipients wisely. Because we all know that when partying in L.A., you never know where you might end up after a night of raunchy fun. But for the sake of yourself and of the scene, I sure as hell hope you don’t end up with herpes. |
