STD's


     They’re called STI’s now because infection has less stigma than disease. Seriously? And yes, we’re talking about STI’s today. Why? Because I tested positive for chlamydia. I get tested every two months, and this one came back a winner. So I went, took four pills (at once) and now I don’t have chlamydia. Blam-O.

     But then there’s the ethical aspect. Do I feel bad for potentially giving my clients chlamydia and them potentially going home and giving it to their wives? Mostly no. It is shitty for the wives, because chances are they don’t think that there is a reason that they would need to go get tested. But guess what! I’m a prostitute! You roll the dice and take your chances. That is the reality of the situation. I take responsibility for my own body, and I assume that anyone I have sex with, personally or professionally, could be carrying an STI. You need to have sex with one person for an STI to be transferred. It’s not a volume thing. The more people you have sex with the higher your risk is, but the risk is always there. Clients ask me if I’m clean, and I want to ask them if they know how STI’s work. I would have to be tested after every partner to know for sure, and even then the tests take a week to come back. Rather than explain this, I just say yes. As we all should have been taught in middle school the most effective way to protect yourself from STI’s is to use condoms. And I do! Not ever, not once, not even just the tip have I not used a condom for vaginal sex or blow jobs. There’s no P to V touching with out a condom in anyway in Alison’s world. The shitty part is no one likes a dental dam, so when receiving oral I am unprotected.

    Between the phone call and going in for the pills, of course I hop on google. Man what a wealth of misinformation there is out there. You can get chlamydia from oral, vaginal and anal sex. Ok, I think to myself, so the virus like to chill in the hot gooey places, like my vag and throat. So if that’s the case couldn’t it be transferred through kissing? I ask my doctor this when I see her.
     “No,” She explains to me. “The bacteria [it’s a bacteria not a virus] only lives in gentital fluids. Chlamydia can only be transferred to the person giving oral.”

PLOT THICKENS

     If this is the case, then it is impossible for Alison to be responsible for this STI. Seriously. However, Realme is not so responsible. I have had three sexual partners since my last test. Jay and I used condoms for vaginal sex, but not oral and Logan and my more recent partner have both had vasectomies so we did not use condoms. Was this stupid? Apparently. I know about their other partners and I trust them so I’m good, right? Yeah, please refer to the above paragraph regarding how to get an STI.

     Point of my story: I got chlamydia because I’m a slut, not because I’m a whore. I FEEL SO VINDICATED.
