Not related to sex: Cold sores in the mouth that keep occuring in the same spot are from herpes simplex virus that lives in the nerves and flare up when triggered. It could be stress, sun light, fever and some foods. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease that also resides in the nerves and has flare ups.
