Post-encounter upper respiratory infections

[Whippoorwill]

In the '80s and '90s when I was going to the sex clubs a lot, I had to quit going during high flu season...with everyone exchanging saliva and other bodily fluids, I would be sick all the time. So knocking it off from December - March or so did the trick. Out of flu season, "most" people aren't carrying the bug and it's pretty safe. In flu season, you can be sure at least one person is, and then everyone is.

I frequently had sore throats for a few days after deep throating a hung man.  I think it was less due to bacteria/virus and more due to physical trauma to the back of my throat.  I've since learned that poppers work well to relax my throat in such situations, so my sore throats are less common now that the penis can go further down my throat without banging on my tonsils.

I’ve started gargling with an antibacterial mouthwash (peroxide based) after such encounters to minimize similar experience.

Doxy may be your friend but not the friend of your kids, nieces and nephews. Overuse and overprescription of antibiotics without a clear diagnosis is resulting in a significant rise in anti-microbeal resistant bugs.   It is also harmful to your immune and digestive system.  

Not wrong here but it’s quite effective if used only when appropriate and to your point not overused.

It happens to me too sometimes. I think it’s just the close contact and being exposed to a different environment than your own. Taking some Vitamin C or zinc before a date seems to help a bit.
