  • ✦ Almost ten years living with HSV
  • ✦ Billed as “SS YBG”. Nothing on your statement says herpes.
  • ✦ Camera off, fake name, chat only. All welcome.
  • ✦ Money back on everything you pay for

You keep researching. You keep looping. And it never feels like enough.

You replay old memories trying to work out where you got it. You analyse every tingle. You try to build a case your brain can finally accept.

It never does.

And the noise quietly convinces you that you’re not allowed to date, or have sex, until every possible question has been answered.

I did that for seven years. Let me save you the other six.

Why the usual fixes don’t work

Your doctor gave you a prescription and nothing to say.

r/Herpes gets the bad stories, because the good ones don’t get posted.

Herpes dating apps send you to a smaller pool and charge you for it.

Therapy helps with the feelings. It rarely tells you what to actually say.

None of them are wrong. They’re just not the thing you need: people who get it, and words you can use.

The words, written out. What to say when you tell them, and what to say back when they ask the question you’ve been dreading.

Which one is for you

“I’ve got a date coming up.”

Start with the free guide tonight. Add the Dating workbook if you want 30 days of practice.

“I need people who get it.”

Drop in once. If it feels like home, join the Room.

“I’ve got one question and it’s keeping me up.”

Not for you if you want herpes to disappear before you’re allowed to date. Nothing here does that. Everything here helps you date anyway.

What people say

“I found it incredibly helpful and it brought me a lot of peace this evening. You did an incredible job at creating a comfortable space.”

Room member

“I wouldn’t be where I am without you and these sessions.”

Room member

“When I got diagnosed I genuinely thought my life was over. I was spiraling every single day… I went on my first date since.”

Room member, 30

“I brought it up like it was something really casual… he just went ‘okay, I don’t mind’ like it was the most normal thing ever, and then a few seconds later asked if we could still kiss. It was such a relief.”

🔒 Privacy

Private by design. Not by accident.

  • Your charge shows as “SS YBG”.
  • No email subject line ever says herpes.
  • In the Room, use a made-up name, keep your camera off, or just listen.
  • The private group is on Telegram. Pick any username. Nobody needs your real name.
  • Sessions are never shared, sold or posted.

Liking a herpes video leaves a trail. Nothing here does.

Questions

Is any of this medical advice?

No. It’s lived experience and research. For diagnosis, treatment, transmission or pregnancy questions, talk to a licensed clinician.

Is it just for women?

I write mostly for women. The Room has a men’s group on Thursdays, and the guide works for anyone.

What if I can’t make the live call?

Calls aren’t uploaded. The room is live on purpose. If you’ve got a burning question, book the 10-minute answer call.

Do you do ongoing one-on-ones?

Not right now. The answer call is the one-on-one.

What if it’s not for me?

The Room: full refund within 30 days of your first payment. Workbooks: 90 days, and if you haven’t disclosed, every dollar back.

Are you a crisis service?

No. If you’re thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 in the US. Outside the US, findahelpline.com.

The guide is how most people meet me. It’s one email, it’s private, and it’ll tell you which of these you actually need.
