How long "zero" to outbreak?

How long "zero" to outbreak?

I have twice now had sex where I inspected my groin for symptoms immediately before having sex and was symptom free, finished having sex,immediately inspected my groin and seemingly had an outbreak in the form of bumps. Has anyone else had this occur? Does anyone know if onset can take a matter of minutes, from symptom free to outbreak? Anything else this could be?

Since I was diagnosed I have had very few sexual interactions.  These two instances were four months apart, with no other sexual interactions in between. I am obviously concerned that every time I try to have sex I will break out with HSV during the actual act.  

Also, I keep my pubic hairs almost shaved so I can inspect for outbreaks.  Does anyone think not having pubic hair result in too much friction?

I do keep my pubic area shaved since I have started my current job and since then I have noticed I get irritated when having sex and do break out with red bumps and itching afterwards and I believe its just from friction with lubrication on shaved skin because its more like razor burn then an outbreak and I do recall when I had my first outbreak it was 6 days from the first signs/symptoms to when lesions showed up. I hope my experience could be of some help for you.

this sounds nothing at all like your herpes reoccurring.  

perhaps instead of shaving , you should just use a body hair trimmer and keep the hair short instead of gone so that you have that extra layer to protect your sensitive genital skin?  pubic hair really does have a function :)
