Safe Sex Herpes

My new girlfriend has genital herpes. We are going to practice safe sex. I have used condomes but never rubber dams. Are there any explicit educational videos that demonstrate heterosexual safe sex?

Thanks.

not that I know of....just take a condom, cut it in half, put a little lube on her clit, lay it over her clitoris, and go to town.  I've also seen people in the porn industry use saran wrap as a dental dam.  

Also, you really don't have to worry about getting herpes from her as long as she doesn't have an active blister.  

I would rather do manual sex with fingers/toys then try to enjoy oral sex through a dental dam.

I was researching Herpes and several of the medical sites said that about 4 to 5% of the time there could be something called "shedding" that would make it possible to be infected a week before the active blisters. Or is that drug industry hype?

I know that I've touched a sore spot here.  Yes, it is a bit of medical hype.  I base my statements on Betty's research and her personal experience living with herpes. Condoms are only 95% effective against pregnancy but we still use them.  It's the same odds here. 

At the end of the day, there's a practical side of life. If you fall in love with someone with herpes, it's not the end of the world.  Be smart, never have sex if they have an open sore, and enjoy your sex life.

According to WebMD or the Herpes website, just being in the same room with a person who has Herpes puts you at risk. 'They claim our skin sheds cells that carry the Herpes virus. It's floating through the air about to land on you at any moment. Puleeeeze!!!

I consider this kind of fear is a person who is a germ phobe. And it sells more take-one-a-day Valtrex at $300 a bottle that pumps up the pharmaceutical industries profits. Back in the sexy seventies, if you didn't have Herpes you were obviously not having THAT much sex. We saw it as a badge of a sexually active person. We had Herpes Pride.
