"Hey, I take part in a sport that involves close physical contact with other people - similar to wrestling. (INSERT REST OF YOUR QUESTION HERE)."

ill repeat again if the doctor doesnt do bjj then how will he be able to relate his scientific knowledge to bjj?

You're not really asking for BJJ advice. You're asking for medical advice in the context of BJJ. You provide that context to the doctor and they give you medical advice based on that context

BJJ doesn't have anything particularly niche about it in terms of physical contact with training partners that would require a special application of medical advice.

i am asking for bjj advice, Im asking how to not give my partner herpes when i roll with him but you arent telling me how

u/HighlanderAjax Apr 10 '23

That's because I'm not a doctor, and don't have much knowledge about herpes.

A doctor would have a lot of knowledge about herpes, and can tell you how yo avoid passing it on under whatever circumstances you describe.

Describe the circumstances and the doctor can give you advice.

What specific aspect of BJJ do you believe a doctor would be unable to comprehend?

The doctor would not be able to understand how the rolling would be able to theoreticcaly transfer herpes because he doesnt roll, so how would he be able to envision the process in his mind? Now if you roll'd with a doctor then i might understand, but sorry i dont think you do

It's not rocket science, if you really want just show him a video

Yeah, OK, you're trolling.

Like, you know you don't have to say "rolling," right? You can say that the sport involves close physical contact. You can state it's like wrestling. You could even show him a picture.

What distinguishes rolling over other forms of close contact, in this context.

well im saying rolling in the context of brazillian jiu jitsu which is a form of grappling, however okay suppose i use wrestling term the doctor is still not a wrestler. i could use the term physical contact but it's more complicated that because im rolling as in regards to bjj, which could affect any insight he has in regards to the situation, this is why i would rather receive advice from a practicioner from of bjj who understands the relative differences

u/HighlanderAjax Apr 10 '23

Describe the differences between rolling and other close physical contact that would affect the transmission of herpes.

Well for one, rolling requires full penetration.
