And, I mean, it doesn't have to be just 18th century characters, either!

Re: Who has STD and who does not?

[mildred_of_midgard]

but I can see newly stationed at Ruppin Fritz who is in a frat boy mode and bonding with his officers (see Gröben letters) share brothel visits a few times as a form of male bonding (and also rebellion against the marriage Dad forced on him), even if he's not that keen on het sex.

Yeah, I'm increasingly convinced by the weight of evidence that this probably happened, and that he probably had more sex than I realized when I started salon. Definitely in his younger years, possibly later on too, with candidates like Marwitz and Glasow.

In conclusion: did young Fritz at some point catch STD? (Though not one to cripple his penis.) Likely.

Yeah, you're convincing me. :)
