Preventing STD's?

[steveroy]

I wonder if I have just been lucky but since I started this hobby about ten years ago I have always adopted the same hopefully preventative disciplines. I should say that I always go for protected sex in any case but succumb to owo.  I have always used antiseptic wipes immediately after sex (usually in the toilet of the escort.) Important I guess to give the whole tackle a very thorough going over with these. The ones without alcohol dont sting! Also, antiseptic throat lozenges a good idea before and after depending on reverse oral etc. I'm sure all of this probably helps the odd percentage point in our favour and nothing replaces fully protected owo. In my entirely amateur opinion, I think leaving the tackle unwashed after the application of the wipes for say an hour gives the best chance of success and also no drinks for an hour for similar reasons with the lozenges. I'm sure this is flawed science and I've just been lucky but so far so good!

I don't care much for antibacterials, antiseptics and such like. There is a time and a place for them, but nothing beats a damned good scrub!

Much to the annoyance of the clock, I stick to showering thoroughly. I start with my hands, then my face, armpits, cock, butt crack, and then feet. These are the areas where you will either have the most contact, most germs or the most sweat. Everything else is secondary.

Provided you get a good, thick and creamy lather, the bubbles trap the dirt and germs then carries them away - it is how soap works to get you clean. You'd be surprised how many people believe simply applying soap then rinsing is enough, which is probably partly why the paranoia for antibacterials and antiseptics for everyday uses came about.

I prefer to use non alcoholic mouthwash too. Not so much because it is alcohol free to dodge a roadside breath test, but because it tends to work better.

Lastly, being circumcised reduces the risk of infection being trapped on my dick and passed into my body significantly. That isn't why I had it done, but it is a nice bonus.

Washing, not scrubbing, does reduce chances of getting herpes and other stuff.  Not read anything about the efficacy of anti septic wipes.  Aren't these simply baby wipes anyway?

On the occasion that i succumb to OWO [most of the time] then when back at the manor i usually dab the bell end in with some cotton wool dipped in warm [ish] water with a drop of TCP.  Have to do this outside though as it can stink the house out.  I have it on good authority that RO presents the square root of fuck all risk.  But only do this occasionally when in the mood & all the signs are good.  Not sure about lozenges tho.  What about Trebor extra strong mints ?

I'd like to think that this is true, but it doesn't look like the NHS/sexual health organisations agree.

I'd be interested to hear what you mean by 'good authority'.

I picked up on that also.  Would like to know the source...as I don't do RO as it often makes my lips tingly afterwards and I get paranoid.

What is this??????

Anyway...... Each to their own I guess!!!

[Marmalade]

There's lots of internet stories about such things (washing, peeing etc)helping to prevent stds but as far as I know there's little or no evidence for it. If you get infected with something it's already got to the internal mucous membranes during sex so you're fucked. Antibiotics might help or other anti-std meds. Peeing has some logic if done immediately afterwards and although I used to do it I don't now think it can make more than the minutest difference if that. The good news is that the chances of infection, as discussed many times on this forum are fucking minute, so washing, peeing, lozenging or sending a wish to the good-luck fairy are simply coincidental habits without any cause and effect.

Punting has a tiny risk, full stop. OWO has a tiny risk, full stop. So does life. Only the last one is always fatal!

What evidence do you have for that?? If you finger her fanny then wash your hands before wanking then the washing might. Not if she deep throated your knob into a poxy throat or you've licked her gleeck. One study actually suggested washing increased HIV transmission rates (only one study though).  External Link/Members Only (newspaper report byt it's a widely quoted study in the medical journals, but not conclusive).

I don't do anything special, seems to work and do not believe there is  anything other than rubbering up.

Most of the mentioned above is as effective of staying the punters prayer in the bathroom before being careful to pray facing the UKPunting web server.   

Don't be daft don't be silly,

Wear a condom on your willy.

[madeinwales56]

Preventing STD's? Don't have sex and stick to wanking.

[bunny84]

Probably close to 200 punts . Caught nothing .
Some people will think this is silly I I have a routine I do that I beleive keeps me std free .

After a punt when I've left I do the  hokey cokey dance while singing the song . Say what you like it works for me . It's kept me clean. Give it a go


You put your right hand in
Your right hand out
In, out, in, out
Shake it all about.
You do the hokey-cokey
And you turn around.
That’s what it’s all about.

Chorus
Whoa, the hokey-cokey
Whoa, the hokey-cokey
Whoa, the hokey-cokey
Knees bent, arms stretched, rah, rah, rah!

(Chorus)

You put your left hand in
Your left hand out
In, out, in, out
Shake it all about.
You do the hokey-cokey
And you turn around.
That’s what it’s all about.

(Chorus)

You put your right foot in
Your right foot out
In, out, in, out
Shake it all about.
You do the hokey-cokey
And you turn around.
That’s what it’s all about.

(Chorus)

You put your left foot in
Your left foot out
In, out, in, out
Shake it all about.
You do the hokey-cokey
And you turn around.
That’s what it’s all about.

(Chorus)

You put your whole self  in
Your whole self out
In, out, in, out
Shake it all about.
You do the hokey-cokey
And you turn around.
That’s what it’s all about.

Probably works better than using wipes or taking a piss afterwards

ditto
RO is low risk but that does not mean there is no risk.
I have it on good authority you can catch STD from RO.

[Malvolio]

The foolproof way to avoid STDs is to avoid having sex.  However, if you're a punter it's just one of the risks that you have to cope with - and rubbing an antiseptic wipe over your cock isn't going to prevent anything.

[Nagilum]

Washing, wipes... What's next, Zuma's magic HIV soap?

Visit to my private doc.  Upon reflection "square root of fuck all" is misleading.  Went in for an MOT check-up.  Advice was that OWO low [ish] risk.  And RO lower still.  I did comment that all the signs had to be good.  So a fit burd / clean / not drugged up / nice venue [in that if she makes the investment into the accomo then she's thinking more about what she does].  Its not an exact science.  I just make a balanced decision - not helped by my little brain on occasion.  Conversely i've insisted on OW when OWO is on offer
I also avoid OWO when the burd has any form of cough / croaky voice.  For example some STIs manifest themselves in a WG's mouth with symptoms such as a sore throat.  And can clear naturally after a few weeks.  But sticking your bell-end in there & catching the same infection won't clear naturally

I think that sounds sensible really, but especially if you don't get obsessive about it. Given the tiny percentage of risk and the rough estimates of differences, it's sensible.

People often say why worry about sex with a bb prossie if you wear a condom but mostly anyone on here would avoid. If you really have to be so careful cos of active sex with a wife then differences about OW OWO & RO become more important.

If I go down and find the fanny a bit funny, I'll maybe just kiss the thighs or lick the clit. We all make instinctive judgements; some are more justifiable than others.

[Simplyred]

As the topic is 'preventing STDs', I'll state the obvious and reiterate first and foremost wearing a condom during the whole session, outside of hand relief for starters.  I would watching out for very heavy friction on exposed skin--that is how you get herpes, general warts and molluscum.  If you've had even one proper punt with a condom, you most likely now have HPV (if you didn't already).  Most of the time it is asymptomatic but in some cases produces warts.  If you see a small low fleshy bump, head to the dermatologist who will give you a compound to treat it or fry it off then and there.

I've punted numerous (hundreds) of times and sadly, I get some kind of infection from owo about 1 in 20.  Once or twice I suspect it was G or C, but more often it's like non-specific bacteria that get trapped in the epididymis or sometimes lead to a prostate infection.  Just leads to your balls aching badly and a trip to the doctor for antibiotics, but not fun.

I have found its really up to the girl you see.  I saw one masseuse for extended deep/gaggy owo for years and never once caught a thing.  Another one sent me to the doctor twice--so obviously stopped seeing her.  Active girls who see a lot of guys and allow CIM are obviously more at risk of having some nasty in the back of their throat where the tissue is vulnerable.

[Marmalade]

Either you are very unusual or talking bollocks. An infection once in twenty??? And how many have you had altogether?

Other punters I know that have punted in the upper hundreds and accepted OWO mostly whenever it is on offer would have put it at one in two or three hundred, if not even less frequent. Excuse me if you are talking from consummate experience but it sounds to me more like you've cut and pasted something of a pop-medical website that includes a worst scenario wild guess to 'warn people off.'

Maybe you imagine it. If you seriously get an infection that often I can't understand why you keep having OWO. For the stat to have any meaning it must be based at least on 2 or 3 hundred so I'm surprised your cock hasn't fallen off. 

[Marmalade]

I don't know you, so don't take it the wrong way. You have lots of sympathy for your rather delicate dong. May I ask what medication you take?

[Marmalade]

"Once or twice I suspect it was G or C" ???????

So you just went your merry way without finding out???

You must punt in a swamp or something to be that tempting for STI's to grow on your dick.

[cueball]

Initially I'd call bollocks on that statement but then I thought, it depends on who you punt.

20 punts with this.... External Link/Members Only or External Link/Members Only and you'd be lucky to get infected only at 1 in 20

You're either talking bollocks or use absolutely no grey matter on where you stick your dick

[webpunter]

20 punts with this.... External Link/Members Only or External Link/Members Only and you'd be lucky to get infected only at 1 in 20

WTF 696 FB's    And they look pretty genuine IMO.  I wonder what % of the punters then go & shag their OH BB - assuming at least some must have one

[Simplyred]

Regarding 'G or C' they suspected it but sometimes you won't get a positive test (particularly with a dipstick urine test) so that's why I said I didn't know.  They just prescribe a Z-blast or Cipro or other antibiotic.  Equally it could have been non-specific urethritis.

I agree I think i am somewhat unusual/unfortunate as compared to the general population, but I posted about this issue once on another board and got a lot of private messages from other guys suffering from orchitis, chronic prostate infections, etc. from punting.  Maybe there are a minority of us that just are inclined to this and maybe it is in part physical, not sure.  I don't do anything beyond sort of garden variety activities.

I'm not making this up, I sensed some hostility in my posting, but not sure why.  About 1 in 20 escorts I've punted with where owo happened have led to a trip to the GP-and I dont bareback ever (outside of oral, though reconsidering).

In a sexless marriage so not an issue back home.

[Knny]

Simply red,  thanks for your post.  I think there has been an increase in the number of trolls who have been banned recently and perhaps that is why newer members are viewed with initial suspicion.

I agree with you on the precautionary measures.  But I guess I'm just not brave enough for OWO or RO yet.  I'm sure I'll convince myself to try it soon, but only with the more up market girls and not the vivastreet ones I've tried recently.

I still think that if you can you should do a gentle warm shower wash after a session.  Not least to get rid of any surface germs, but also to feel clean again.

[Marmalade]

I don't follow your logic. In some posts you state you don't bareback on others you imply you do. Either way, barebacking (vaginal) is very much a minority activity among British punters and almost (but not entirely) frowned on. I understand that there are some bareback clubs in Germany that go in for all that pre-testing stuff but I don't think there is anything of that nature here. If your punting relates to that sort of thing in Germany then it should go in the German (Europe) Section. Then again, it is not entirely clear what you consider to be punting (and to be honest I doubt if many on this primarily UK board care). I don't think your 1 in 20 statistic is generally applicable, or even of that much general interest. If posting in the main UK Punting discussion section, then it is your participation in paid sex (whether one-on-one or flat-rate parties) that is of interest. If you post some reviews in the reviews sections with venues, links, costs and what services you received, activities performed, that would perhaps be interesting too. Vague medical generalisation that don't really apply to many, if any, other members, smell a bit of scaremongering. At the very least, I think your punting or sexual activity would appear non-typical and not a helpful guide.

I agree that herpes is largely asymptomatic in most people, and by the way the frequent delayed onset makes it almost impossible to attribute to a specific encounter.

[Knny]

 
Marmalade. I hope you didn't misread any of my posts suggesting I do bareback.  I am quite vanilla and hardly even dfk.

[Simplyred]

@Marmalade...sorry are you referring to me or the poster prior?

In any case, I live in the Uk and outside of Asia have never punted anywhere else and never would engage in bareback sex (vaginal or anal) with a prostitute.  I have engaged in owo many times as ow is not particularly enjoyable but clearly with my string of negative outcomes I'm inclined to rethink this.
