SPFPP 355: Herpes Stigma Abroad with a High Values Man - with Jason Lebeck
Listen now
Description
In this episode of SPFPP, I sit down with Jason LeBeck, a 22-year-old who's been through the wringer after contracting herpes while living in Taiwan. Jason opens up about getting kicked out of his home and church because of his diagnosis, and how he faced some serious stigma, especially in Asia. We dive into his experiences with casual dating, the struggle for real connection, and how his diagnosis pushed him to rethink what intimacy really means. Jason also talks about how his faith has helped him navigate this journey and how he's now focused on building meaningful relationships that go way beyond just sex.
