Corky:
“When do you tell someone that you have herpes? You don’t tell them when you first meet them, obviously. I mean, it’s very personal, it’s very private.

“And you don’t tell them when you’re about to have sex while you’re in bed. I mean that’s so unfair to allow someone into your life, you know, to the point where, you know, if you’re being intimate with someone that obviously, you know, there’s a level of commitment there and so that’s inappropriate.

“So I think what I look for, you know, in trying to feel when to tell someone that you have herpes is when you, when you sense that feeling of trust and when you, inside, you just know that things are proceeding and progressing, and that they’re probably going to become intimate.”
