Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. We are now in Season 4 of the 100 Masked Men series, where I anonymously interview different men from all walks of life about masculinity, sex and relationships, and how that contributes to our self worth.

Continuing with this week's theme on vulnerability, Masked Man #89 is the Ashamed Man. He shares his story about having HSV (or more commonly known as herpes) and how that has affected his romantic relationships. I really wanted to get into more of the physicality of our sexuality with this one, and we uncovered so much guilt and shame. I mean how many of you still make herpes jokes in the group chat?

I really appreciate the vulnerability in this episode, from the guilt in giving HSV to a partner without telling her to now making sure it is something he discusses straight away. I think it's a conversation we really need to dig into deeper. Let's get into it. I hope you enjoy the show.
