Vagina infection

[Albacor]

I want to see my regular SP every other week,
But this week the brooker said she's off because she has a vigina infection !
I am not a doctor, is it contagious ?
Should i stop seeing her? Or should i wait another week before seeing her again?

yeast infection ? don't stress it man. You never had a gf that had issues down there from time to time ?

Booker could have been a little more considerate in describing it lol.

That's a very forthcoming booker.
A couple years ago, I had a booker once txt me that someone I'd seen recently had acquired an STI, and I'd need to show a clean test in order to book again, which I did. When I asked what it was, they told me (gonorrhea).

But that's a spreadable infection, not like a yeast infection.

Actually, while a yeast infection isn't really a STI, it *can* be transmitted and even men can have it. Look it up!

At the XO agency, several years ago, I booked for the first time with a well-regarded SP whom I had been wanting to see. When we got down to the deed itself, the smell was so awful that I had to end the session and leave. It was abrupt. I had a girlfriend in high school who had a yeast infection, and I recall it well. This was something else. There is a specific odour that accompanies a yeast infection; however, this was a very off-putting and very fishy smell, leading me to believe it was something else.

I complained to the booker, and they claimed to know nothing about it. I said you need to have the young lady checked. I could not understand how she could be working in such a state. In my opinion, there was absolutely no way that she could have not known about her condition.

Needless to say, I never used XO services again and never saw this woman again. I can say that several other Merb members had a similar experience with her. I hope that she is doing well and has treated the issue accordingly.

I know who you are talking about (never saw her thank g-d as her ethnicity is not my type) but her reputation is well known.
She is the same one that suggested an uncircumcised guy to go get circumcised. Go figure!

Fishy smell = bacterial vaginosis (often confused with "yeast infection").

It's true, but it's also complicated. I will expand on this for the sake of completeness. Yeast infections are caused by the yeast Candida albicans, which is a common pathogen that can be found in the mouth, gut, and genitals, even of healthy persons. It is basically "everywhere" : soil, water, food, surfaces, etc. As an opportunistic pathogen, under the right conditions, it can start to multiply and cause symptoms: a yeast infection. Thus, if someone has a yeast infection, it is not necessarily because someone passed it on to them (although possible), but it's more likely that the person had it for a while, and that conditions became right for its multiplication (e.g. a weakened immune system). Still, if someone has recurring yeast infections, it may well be that they are being chronically infected by their partner. In that case, treating the partner, in addition to the patient, might eliminate the source of yeast and solve the person's symptoms. For all these reasons, as you pointed out, it is not considered an STI. As an analogy, you can catch a cold while having sex, but we don't consider cold viruses an STI.
