Yeah, nothing spells sexual tension like debating over who might have genital warts....

im sorry but where did i say you have genital warts?? i said theres a good possibility you might have it and not know it, the same goes for me. grow up dude...

Indy, you are hilarious!

But on a serious note, yes, all of you are correct. I think Rems said that there is no cure for viruses. This is definitely correct. HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is a virus that is rarely seen by the eyes. In rare occasions, you might encounter a woman with warts (squamous cells) that have grown on the labia majora (outer vagina lips) or somewhere in close proximity, but these squamous cells normally harbor inside the vagina. Once the penis makes contact with the virus, it is not 100% guaranteed that the male will contract the virus but the chances are great. The bad thing about it is that most males won't show warts at all and are asymptomatic (do not show symptoms at all). In most cases, if a man does produce warts, he is prescribed a drug called Condylox or Imiquimod as a topical agent. These drugs burn the wart(s) off the penis literally. Once the wart is gone, it leaves a sore that has to heal before you can resume with your sexual life (unless you just don't give a fuck). Eventually, the warts will not grow back but that doesn't mean your blood is rid of the virus. It just means that you aren't producing warts. Women aren't generally prescribed Condylox or Imiquimod unless the warts have grown outside the vagina. IF they have grown inside, women have to have a procedure done to have the warts surgically removed (scraped) or there is another procedure where the warts are surgically lasered. Even though all of this drug and surgical treatment has taken place, the virus is still streaming in your blood.

There is a vaccine for HPV called Gardisil and it's made by Merck Pharmaceuticals. This is only a vaccine, not a cure. It's the same concept as the Varicella vaccine that we receive as part of our immunizations when we are children. Varicella Zoster aka Chicken Pox. Even though we are given the Varicella vaccine, it does not cure Chicken Pox virus. It only serves to expose our immune system to either active or inactive virus so that our bodies can produce antibodies so that we can fight better. If the vaccine was the cure then there would be no need to get re-immunized after 7 years.

In addition to not wanting nasty warts glued to our body parts, inside or out, the biggest threat of wart producing viruses is the carcinogenic risks associated with them. Yeah, the warts are bad but there's a bigger, badder wolf. Cancer is real and when you involve organs such as the cervix and testicles, cancer is fatal in most cases. Cervical and testicular cancer are the biggest killers of women and men infected with HPV. The reason warts carry a larger risk of producing cancer is becasue of the type of cells that warts are made of. Warts are made of squamous cells, which in most cases, are cancer causing (carcinogenic). If ever you see a mole that doesn't grow plump and round (kinda like your Mama's/Grandmama's moles on her face and neck) but instead grows flat and round......YOU BETTER GET THAT LOOKED AT PRONTO BECAUSE THAT'S A GROUP OF SQUAMOUS CELLS!!!

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I'm no doctor but I am a Biology graduate with tons of post-baccalaureate work and research. Not only that, but I work for a Pharmaceutical Company as a Drug Rep. I know a lot about disease origins and states (Pathophysiology) and I know a lot about drug MOAs (Mechanisms of Actions) and indications.

i will say i am confused tho. i gave him an intelligent response backed by scientific fact and he tries to insinuate something via an insult but he's the funny one *scratches head*
remember i told you to be careful about what you co sign

Amber, what I've noticed about you is that you are either very insecure or too sensitive. Why do you care so much about who supports who? You spend most of your time trying to police what others are doing/saying. If you spent 6 months getting your own house in order and the other 6 months staying out of other people's houses, who knows where you would be. Even though I don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else, let me just clarify this situation. When I typed "Indy, you are hilarious", your post hadn't yet popped up there. So right when I was about to click send, your comment popped up there microseconds before I clicked send. So it appears that I was saying that Indy was hilarious even after you clarified your comment with him. Get it? So in essence, my comment was really a response to this......."Yeah, nothing spells sexual tension like debating over who might have genital warts.... " which is what Indy said. YOU actually took it the wrong way. Indy was only making light humor of it. He wasn't specifically speaking about genital warts. So again, your sensitivity has clouded your ability to rationalize and perhaps chuckle at a lightly humored comment. The bottom line, Amber, is that you worry about the wrong things ma. I can cosign, support, propagandize, sensationalize etc etc anyone or anything I want. I could care less about what you think of me because you have already told me what you think of me and people like me who browse sites like these. So lets be clear, lets not derail this great informative, substantive thread, which is exactly what you just did. If you want to bitch about it, start another one. I probably won't meet you there. See, this is the reason I don't participate on here much anymore. It seems that its the same 2 or 3 people always bitchin about something. I've noticed that lots of people, besides me, have slowed way down on this forum. I would say people are just sick and tired of the bitching and constant scrutiny/policing of every little thing that comes out of someone's mouth by the same few folks.

"Remember I told you to be careful about what you co sign." Woman please!!! Who the hell are you??? You aren't my teacher, Mother, guardian, parole officer, pastor, author or finisher of my fate. Don't chastice me!!! To hell with what you "told" me. Like you're gonna put me in time-out or something. Now, back to the ORIGINAL subject matter.

There are some producers that film sans condoms. It's more of a personal preference on my part to not film 'raw intercourse'.

But its the best remy lol

[Indy24]

thats cool vid but when i have certain perceptions about you based on your comments on here or what you choose to co sign than dont wonder why or try to explain.
and how exactly do i feel about the men on here?? i never said anything other than i wouldnt socialize in my personal life with any man off of this forum because i have a strict separation between the industry and my personal life.i however recently broke that rule and ended having my point proven.
