Oh god. This question feels so stupid to ask because I in some ways know the answer. However, I need to ask you guys just for confirmation and because this is a WAM site so... Here is goes: Can you get STDs from gunge (or condiments, ect)?
I promise this isn't a shitpost. This is a genuine question. So... without ridicule, can someone answer?
You pass most STDs by exchanging bodily fluids. If you can think of a way that someone's bodily fluids get mixed in with the gunge, and then that gunge comes in contact with a part of your body that could be infected (urethra, mouth, eyes, vagina, anus, sinuses, ...), then yes, it would be possible.
No...it's a good question, and one that I think would vary a lot on the substance and the act. I guess a good way to pose it is this. Can I get an STD if WAM WASN'T involved? If the answer is yes, then it's safe to assume that you still could if the substances were involved.
Then to play devil's advocate, over 80% of us already have an STD, even if we were virgins. Herpes can be passed simply through skin contact so...
It's kinda f-in terrifying that something like that could survive in a pool and infect you. I generally stay away from public pools. Hopefully no one from Vegas discovered an extra little nugget from the golden nugget pool...
I often wondered about the pitfalls of playing that silly Innuendo Bingo game. It does not seem too smart to make a game where people spit on each other.
But here in our Florida retirement community I guess we have more to worry about in our local pools....i.e. incontinent old people.
As the Benny Hill jokes....a guy complains about a boy peeing in the pool to his parents....and the parent replies..."come on....all 7 year old boys do that".........and the guy replies "yeah....but not from the top diving board".
