I caught gonorrhea; please stay safe and get tested regularly

[charles]

I'm going to keep this short and succinct but this is an important topic. I saw an SP in late September. We engaged in bbbj and covered full service. About a week after seeing her, I began to experience pain during and after urination. I also started to leak a milky white fluid from my penis all through the day and night. I saw my doctor and got tested. The test came back positive for gonorrhea. Even before the results came in, I was put on a course of antibiotics. After my diagnosis, I contacted the SP to tell her she should get tested. She said she would but after that I didn't hear from her again. She is no longer advertising.

The point of this post is not about that SP specifically. It's about remembering that our activities are not completely without risk. I've only been with SPs for more than a year. My last STI tests in April came back clean. Though it was most likely that last SP that transferred gonorrhea to me, there can be no doubt I caught it from seeing SPs. I know some of you will find it impossible that STIs exist and are transferred from SP to client and vice versa, but that is a distinct and real possibility. I'm not saying every SP or client out there is diseased, that's far from the case. There will be some of you who will go your entire lives without catching anything. What I am saying is that you should not be lulled into thinking STIs are not real and that you could never catch one. You could. You're in control of the odds of that happening to some extent. I'm not going to preach about what anyone should or shouldn't do, just be informed. Also, don't think that STIs are exempt from SPs who charge more or have a nicer apartment. STIs don't discriminate in that way.

Lastly, please get tested regularly, that applies to both clients and SPs. Go get tested every six months or more. It's simple and it's the right thing to do.

Wow. I think this is the fifth posting of STIs I have read on this board this month alone. Is it just me or are more and more people talking Bout it?

Sorry to hear about what happened to you.

We all need to take care. One thing that makes me curious about this is that gonorrhea is contracted via bacteria, it is not contracted via viral pathogen. Bacteria tends to grow in warm, moist environments of female genitals and a man's urethra. Bacteria, however, don't survive easily in the oral cavity because of saliva (mildly acidic) and because of strong acids in the stomach. In fact, bacteria are extremely fragile and a hostile environment should kill it. If you contracted this via oral sex, it would suggest that she was fresh from sucking another cock, or had very poor oral hygiene, or had not taken care to rinse her mouth out before seeing you (alcohol in mouth wash will kill it). She also would have had some obvious complications in her throat, and should have presented with coughing, excess mucus, etc., as her immune system seeks to fight it. Also, if you caught it, the bacteria would've been harbored in your urethra. Did you not urinate right after sex? That should flush out the bacteria and the uric acid is also hostile to it.

While possible, contracting gonorrhea from oral sex seems to me to require a remarkable confluence of events and utter carelessness and indiscretion on both parties. Is it possible you could have contracted it from her vagina? You don't have answer, I ask it rhetorically.

It does not conflict at all with what I said, not at all. What I wrote was about the mechanism of transmission. None of what you directed me to made any mention of it, so there was no conflict at all.

if you say so

 

[normisanas]

if you say so

Maybe you should read what I wrote and what you posted a link to more carefully.

.

Are you suggesting that urinating would have killed the infection?

Although there may be some science to your statement. I doubt if any studies actually confirm that urinating after sex will reduce the chance of gonorrhea infection. Hardly a method to rely on either way.

That being said sorry this happened to you Charles.

 

[retriever]

Relayed to but not in response to the OP. 51% of university students are using condoms. 49% no. This is a recent survey. I'm trying to get a link to my source. Scary.

Play as safe as possible.

Sorry to hear about that Charles but at least it was a treatable STI.
Thanks for coming forward because if you created a new handle to maintain anonymity, which some do, the usual suspects would be calling your claim BS and making sarcastic comments about safety bugs. The pooning community is just that...a community and there are risks but sometimes we need to be reminded of them because the risk is there regardless of whether we see someone charging 400/hr or 150/hr.

Hopefully you did not have a spouse or SO that you needed to explain things to.

Thanks for pointing that out Elmore.

I hope that when you use the word "would", you meant "would" instead of "will", because I used the word "should" and I meant what I said. I hope you weren't just echoing the sounds because the words rhyme. "Should" indicates a degree of uncertainty. Your overall response seems to indicate alarm as though I was stating a fact about a remedy or prevention. I think you meant "will" because "would" is out of phase with the context of everything else you said.

Although there may be some science to your statement. I doubt if any studies actually confirm that urinating after sex will reduce the chance of gonorrhea infection. Hardly a method to rely on either way.

There will not likely be studies confirming this because there is a problem in the medical community in divulging science versus expounding public policy. When it comes to infectious diseases, especially sexual ones, they prefer to err on the side of public policy over science. Let me put it to you this way: bacteria multiplies quickly in the body, so the chance of it spreading once inside the host is very fast (provided it is in a warm and moist where it resides). It could take maybe 15 to 30 minutes for it to reach from the opening of the urethra to the bladder. There is also a lot of gonorrhea out there, and I believe most blow jobs given by sex workers are without condoms, yet most sex workers do not have gonorrhea and most clients of sex workers do not have it either. Are we just lucky or should we be awaiting some calamitous pandemic? How many decades of sex work have we lived through? So when I say a "remarkable confluence of events", does it not fit in.

Look, if you want medical policy, sure - I'll simply parrot it here: you can get gonorrhea from oral sex with or without a condom, so the best prevention from this infectious disease is to abstain.

Stating the obvious - people trying to justify bbbj's by pointing out there are other risks are just denying there is more risk doing any sexual activity uncovered versus covered.

Are we re starting an old debate....

We allway talk about our community.. as if it is exclusive. and no one has sex out side of it
That we all know is ahug falicy

Most escort and some guys have sexually active lives out side of work... and many of there partners.. or hook up ars not that informed as we can be..

We may may wonder where it comes from .. but never the less it happening.. and has been all along.
people seem to have bbfs.. that just the reality.. And educating every . one . not just
SP and perbs.. is the solution.. to STD...and more freguent testing.
Every Three months .. or less if you are in the buss.. and having any
bbfs. from SO. or escorts. maybe make that every month

The community is exclusive.
Most women don't sell sex and most men don't pay for it. If there was a sudden spike in STIs within "our community", most people won't be affected.

 

[johnsmit]

I agree that we are a small portion of humanity... but you missed my point.and this from personal obsevation.. Many of todays girls .. that "work" as escorts.. do it part time..as a job on a schedual and have anactive sex life out side of work.. where they seem to be sampling
the fish... and dont seem to be playing that safe.

In that respect i think STD are more previlent in the civi population.. and can impact our community from outside epademics

It is interesting to note this, despite not having engaged in bare back full service. Not too while back I met an SP and while giving her daty, I had a terrible experience of having semen oozing out of her. I do not know if my appointment came right after her seeing her boyfriend, or if a client finished inside her, and if she was leaking all day. Taking a quick shower is not going to be enough to clean it out. So having said this, it does make giving daty unsafe.

Thanks for the lessons on the words "should", "would" and "will" you are clearly a literary scholar.
You then extrapolated that my response indicated alarm.
I merely asked a question, which you answered and then some.......................
