babeinthewoodsName of Sexually Transmitted Infection: FEELINGS
**WHAT ARE FEELINGS?**
Feelings is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the basic human instinct to bond with another. Feelings develop after continued interaction unless you take the proper steps to ensure that you're immune from Feelings.
**HOW COMMON ARE FEELINGS?**
Feelings are common in all humans. Over the past decade, the percentage of persons who develop Feelings has declined due to rigorous societal pressure to not develop Feelings.
Transmission occurs when one or both people in a relationship begin to care about the needs or the life of their partner.
**WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF FEELINGS?**
Most individuals infected with Feelings begin with very mild symptoms. Because of this, most people infected with Feelings are not aware of their infection until it is too late. When symptoms do occur, they typically appear as one or more instances of exhibiting concern for the well being or happiness of the person they are involved with. Either party can experience euphoria, an interest in seeing their partner more frequently and learning increasingly more personal information about their partner. Experiencing these symptoms is sometimes referred to as having an “outbreak.” The first time someone has an outbreak they may also experience symptoms such as sweaty palms, a quickening of the heart rate or the inexplicable desire to listen to upbeat, radio friendly pop music.
Repeat outbreaks of Feelings are common. Symptoms of repeat outbreaks are typically more severe than the first outbreak of Feelings. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease if the infected party or parties continue to allow the Feelings to develop and grow.
**HOW DO PEOPLE GET FEELINGS?**
People get Feelings by being human, and engaging in interpersonal contact with other humans. Having sex is shown to trigger dormant Feelings in humans. “Having sex” means anal, vaginal, or oral sex. The virus can also be released from non personal contact via the internet. Feelings can attack anyone at any time. Transmission can occur spontaneously between two people who have no history of Feelings or show no outward signs or symptoms of having Feelings.
**WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS OF FEELINGS?**
Feelings can cause painful emotions in many adults and can be severe in people with suppressed emotional capabilities. If a person with Feelings is not aware that they have the virus, it can fester unacknowledged for a long time, leading to an explosive display of "drama". This is particularly problematic if it is a sensitive location such as in the kink community. This can be avoided by immediately cutting off contact with the infected person, treating them like they are a pariah. If there is no contact between infected and non-infected people, then the chances of transmission reduce exponentially.
Some people who contract Feelings have concerns about how it will impact their overall health, sex life, and relationships. It is best to talk to a self-appointed kink community expert about those concerns, but it also is important to recognize that while having Feelings is not curable, it is a manageable condition. Since a Feelings diagnosis may affect perceptions about existing or future sexual relationships, it is important to understand how to talk to sexual partners about STIs such as Feelings.
**HOW ARE FEELINGS DIAGNOSED?**
Anyone can diagnose Feelings by visual inspection if the outbreak is typical. Strangers on the internet can also extract the virus from a two sentence post and test it. Sometimes, Feelings can be diagnosed between outbreaks with a good friend over a drink. A person should discuss such testing options with their chosen group of internet strangers who claim to be experts in any of the following fields: "being twue", "doing it *right*" or "polyfuckery".
The best way for Feelings to be detected is for someone to know their body and their responses to interpersonal interaction. If you begin to exhibit any signs of having concern, care or tenderness toward the well-being of another then it's likely you're experiencing an outbreak of Feelings.
**IS THERE A CURE OR TREATMENT FOR FEELINGS?**
There is no treatment that can cure Feelings. Repeated doses of currently popular alternative sexuality dogma, however, prevent or shorten outbreaks during the period of time the person drinks the kool-aid. In addition, daily suppressive therapy (i.e., repeated exposure to people who advocate against the place in kink for emotional connection) for Feelings can reduce the likelihood of transmission to partners as well as shorten the duration of any rogue outbreaks.
**HOW CAN FEELINGS BE PREVENTED?**
Correct and consistent use of emotional distancing, defense mechanisms and a refusal to get to know your partners can significantly reduce your liklihood of developing Feelings. However, outbreaks can occur in dynamics where both parties are using all the recommended sexual protections listed above.
The surest way to avoid transmission of Feelings, is to abstain from interpersonal contact, cease to be human or to have yourself lobotomized.
Persons with a history of Feelings should abstain from sexual activity with partners when symptoms of Feelings are present. It is important to know that even if a person does not have any symptoms, he or she can have Feelings. Sex partners of infected persons should be advised that they may become infected and they should use all appropriate barriers and defense mechanisms to avoid being infected with Feelings.
