VD for Valentine’s Day?
In case you needed a reason to stay celibate this weekend, there’s a sexually transmitted fungus making the rounds and leaving its mark.
Experts say the public should be aware of the nation’s “largest known outbreak” of Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII.
Known as TMVII, the nasty business is the only known fungal-based sexually transmitted infection.
Cases of TMVII have been on the rise in Europe for the past several years, especially among men who have sex with men.
In 2024, an NYC man became the first reported US case of TMVII, and it seems the icky itch has now made its way to the Midwest.
Since the STI was detected in Minnesota in July 2025, the state has reported 13 confirmed and 27 suspected cases of TMVII.
“Patients concerned they might have a rash consistent with TMVII, particularly if they have had recent sexual contact with others with a rash, should visit an STI clinic for evaluation and treatment,” the Minnesota Department of Health said in a statement.

A Taurus, middle child and graduate of the University of New Orleans Creative Writing Workshop, she believes in ghosts, butter and redemption Reda’s knowledge of pop culture is largely owed to an adolescence spent feigning mono and mainlining VH1’S “Behind the Music.”
Not a fag ... also probably not entirely sane.

Fungi are a diverse kingdom of organisms found ubiquitously in various environments, from soil and water to living organisms. They are distinct from plants and animals, occupying their own biological classification. While many fungi are beneficial or harmless, some can cause infections in humans, posing unique challenges due to their inherent resilience. This article explores the biological reasons behind the remarkable toughness of fungi and the difficulties encountered in eliminating them.

Fungus
Fungus among us?
Bi-sexual males, and homosuxualls have one policy, find a partner and plug it. Fun and free sex rule the days and night.
The average homosexual male has hundreds of partners per year, and not all are male.
Bi-sexual males
No such thing. You either do or you do not.
It is not my distinction, it is one society and prolific sex addicts place on what they call a normal range.
On of my grandsons has experienced both, a boyfriend and a long term GF. I just call them Omni-sexuals.
“You have your needs I have mine” is the culture.
It comes from the lack of shame, and body count is a thing for the younger people.
If it’s a fungus it would more properly named Athlete’s Dick.
