I recently caught up with one of my friends who works in porn and while I was with her she got the news that throat gonorrhea was spreading around the industry.
A girl who works as an escort outside of porn had been giving unprotected blow jobs to the men she sees.
Within two weeks, most of the porn community needed to be treated for the infection from being exposed to it.
I'm aware of how quickly viruses can be contracted but to see it in terms of people having to call all the people they've worked with telling them to be treated... I guess it's strange to see the amount of time it took to inform the relevant people. What if you had to call everyone you'd touched in the last week because you'd contracted flu?
Anyway, I got to learn about gonorrhea. Which I suppose may be usueful in the future... I didn't even know you could contract it in the throat or indeed, different places...
Questions were googled such as; How long does it take after you've had sex with someone with the infection before you're 'contagious'? (Straight Away.) Can you get throat gonorrhea from someone just by kissing them? (Yes but it has to be a deep kiss and a long one...) How long do you have to wait to have sex again after being treated? (A week but you should wait to be re-tested to confirm the treatment has worked.)
So the porn industry are all semi-out of action now for a couple of weeks and I'm just glad I don't have to go through the treatment! (An injection in your bum and a load of anti-biotics.)
Just remember how easy it is to contract something.
Stay safe.
