Most all my stories have some truths in them. This one is entirely true.
August, 2022. It was on a Sunday night when all of sudden I got cold chills. Nothing I could do would stop them until I finally sat in a hot tub of water for almost an hour. The following morning, I had a fever and some pain in my chest. I decided I better go to the emergency room. It tuned out I had a blood disease and a case of syphilis. Luckily, no heart issues.
I knew exactly where I got the syphilis from, an adult video store. I knew that place had risk and I took it.
The chest pain actually saved my life because I had Pseudomonas and with my immune system being weak, could had died from it. I stayed in the hospital 5 days and had to stay on a 24-hour antibiotic for 14 days.
That broke me having sex with just anyone I met and liked. I refrained from sex until....
Fast forward to October 2024.
I live just east of Baton Rouge La and liked going camping at Percy Quinn Park in Mississippi to play golf. I booked 4 nights and two rounds of golf and planned on a nice quiet few days. My second evening there, while walking I stopped and talked to a couple of guys camping near me. Tom and Pat. We had a few drinks and it wasn't long I figured out they were married but enjoyed each other's company when they could. They lived near Hammond, just about 20 miles east of me.
I told them I was cool with it and left it at that.
The following day I met them again at the golf course. They were about to tee off in front of me and asked if I wanted to join them. I agreed and during the round I admitted what happened to me. They both said they basically had the same thing happen, not the blood disease but the syphilis. It was the beginning of how they met, they shared the same Dr. and discovered each was bisexual.
Evening came and during my walk I saw them sitting out and stopped to talk and have a drink. After the third drink, conversation turned toward what I liked to do when I was having sex with a male.
