This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

As in, I need some.  Aside from "space herpes".  I also came up with "kisses from Venus".  What else can you guys come up with?  

Thanks in advance,

Some kind of out of control nano-tech might work. Maybe something that slowly takes over and makes you cybernetic, like a crazy nano-tech virus that turns everyone into a wild cyborg version of original designer. An angry space geek's way of getting revenge on the universe.

Probably the main forum would've enjoyed this one.

Makes me think of a joke Eddie Murphy had in one of his stand-up routines: "You stick your dick in and you explode." "Hmmmm... I wonder if I should do something about that?"

I vaguely recall in the early days of Farscape Chiana was supposed to be part of some Nibari plot to spread a VD to other races. That story line was dropped immediately.

In the later Dune books the Honored Matres could mind control men by causing them to orgasm for 30 minutes straight, something like that.

Then there was Lexx which had Xev, the not-quite-completed sex slave.

I read an article about some dude who died by playing WoW. He got so obsessed he just wasted away while amping himself via meds to stay up insane hours to keep playing.

Imagine a disease that addicted you to porn or sex that completely consumed your ability to do anything else. An infected person would literally spank it to death.

Palladium's Mechanoids: Homeworld has an interesting conceit for magic users - they are infected with symbiotic astral parasites that feed off them and in return the mages can cast spells.

Now combine this with the US military's research into create a bomb that would make the enemy gay and uber horny...(yeah, that was a real thing)

As a VD, what about an astral parasite that causes sex psychosis in groups and then feeds off their life energy as infected person unleashes psionic hormones which causes outbreaks of orgies.

To make matters worse, this particular VD was weaponized and the current version on the market is extraordinarily potent. (-4 to WIS saves?)

Well, if you want to include the nanotech idea of invisible nanorobots that provide audio/visual, or even just position information about where someone is (which was even used in the recent 007 film Spectre), then that could be considered an STD, or just an "infection" that your partners may want to avoid being exposed to even if they don't catch it, since it could void the privacy they might otherwise want about what they'd been up to with whom.
