There are sexual health risks associated with no strings,or any sex, which is why we're informed people and regularly test, as well as take steps to manage risks.

As antibiotic resistance increases amongst more types of infections, we can only assume that it will get worse . Bacteria are very effective at sharing genetic changes amongst different types of infectious bacteria . Great as an evolutionary benefit for them but not us.

I am concerned that varied food standards exist around the world, including allowing antibiotics use in animals that become human food. It's valuable to know where our food comes from and how international standards differ. I prefer more local food, than stuff from continents away from Europe.

Taking personal responsibility for our own sexual health, education on medical concerns and our diets, is valuable.

Only one or two clubs I have been to have it as a hard rule, and they have lots of staff on the floor making sure people behave. But they can't police locked rooms.

Could it have been oral gonorrhoea…? In clubs, it’s, arguably, best to wrap-up or use dams for that too.

Sex clinics do offer the meningitisB/ Gonorohea vaccine, it's apparently 40% effective against Gonorohea, but any immunity against a virus has got to be better than trying to treat it afterwards. Yes I have had it, yes it does make your arm quite tender for a week or so. And it's two doses.

Well yes there is that side of things. You can see how easily it spreads, if each of those in the gangbang have met say four others before, then another four after which is quite easily done. You're very quickly into hundreds of people who have had the same sexual contact in possibly only a few days.

Depends on how you dispose of the condom because they aren't biodegradable, I litter pick and the amount of condoms I picked up is eye watering, but at least they aren't producing any more irresponsible ankle biters to drain the social purse lol

Gonorrhoea can be passed through oral sex and can be in the throat, vagina or anus.

It's likely that mist people will have at least oral sex contact without protection.

Unless you are going to insist in protection from the very start of meeting someone,then I'd suggest you will be at risk.

The best option I'd say is very regular testing at your clinic.

Judging by the state of the ceilings and general hygiene in the only club we have been to in the West Mids, surprised you can't add Black Death and explosive squits to that list. Admittedly it was a few years ago and they may have given it a clean once or twice in that period!

The overuse of antibiotics when not needed is never ending.

People dont finish prescribed courses or do not take as recommended - this is a huge issue which can only be addressed with education around correct use.

Poor infection control in healthcare settings is shocking, i saw somethong recently that made me blink twice with the thought of are you for fcuking real? - this person was a doctor!

Antibiotic use in livestock is nothing new - standards are not uniform when it comes to imported foods, people will say, buy local but sometimes buying glocal (via global food chain) on a budget means that its cheaper and will make your funds stretch.

As for promoting a healthy diet on local produce, well, people need to shift their tastes to local seasonal produce - i doubt that will suit the avocado, poached egg and sour bread toast enthusiasts.

Most importantly, people need to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to the point of approaching this through the lens of the 1980s/90s response to HIV/AIDS with prevention, treatment, and care being the top priority and better sexual health information / education.

Oral transmission is what worries me the most.

Once I received oral at a club, and 2 days later got told they just tested positive for oral gonorrhea. I am very grateful they got tested and told me, and I ended up fine, but that was quite a wake up call.

Wrap up and get tested, folks!

And be careful choosing your play partners.

There is no actual vaccine at present.

There is PrEP and there is a longer term PrEP and an injection which is due to be rolled out at some point.

If you contract the virus there are medications that manage the disease so it's not as it used to be now.

Sadly more antibiotic resistant forms of bacteria are popping up.

We had already heard of resistant forms of Mycoplasma Genitalium more common in Europe... but also not helped as people seem unaware of its existance in the UK and NHS dont routinely test for it so dont even know how widespread that it is in the UK. We did inform the site to put advice up to increase awareness but never did see anything appear. Some people dont have symptoms...and again as the bacteria can be spread relatively easily from body sexual contact (fingers, toys etc) it is relatively easily transmitted.

It increasingly needs people to be responsible, test regularly, use condoms including on toys, seriously think about vacines whilst they will still be effective, think risk management in who you meet and where you meet people... but any interaction comes with a risk sadly and is naive to think otherwise.

Sad... but it does feel times are changing for the Swinging community and not for the better.

I've seen a woman give BJs with flavour condoms.

In my partners and metamours, we've had cases of oral gonorrhoea and oral herpes and vaginal gonorrhoea and vaginal herpes.

I give blowjobs to my poly partners unprotected but I keep my mouth away from other men unprotected.

I went to a party last week and a guy wanted me to give him a random blow job without a condom and I said, " Look, I don't want to because of these cases that have occurred amongst the swinger population."

I don't think he's ever realised that gonorrhoea and herpes can be transmitted from oral to genital and from genital to oral.

I take Prep daily to see how my body responds. So far so good. I'm thinking about working as an erotic masseuse, so it's a good precaution to have because some men think it's ok to @ss*ult sex workers or other female service providers alone with them. I've heard horror stories from waxers, hairdressers, domestic ladies, au pairs/nannies and non-sexual masseuses.

I prefer to protect myself as much as possible.

I think most people will have sex away from the scene, so it's essential to focus on your own situation and health, taking precautions that support you and people who you have sex with.

Local clinics are invaluable for up to the minute advice and treatment strategies. Clickbait type reports are more suited to those who aren't involved

Everyone on here automatically jumps on the band wagon about wearing a condom, & while yes it may lover the chance of getting infected, lets face it even if you do then you still stand a chance of picking it up orally, theres no such thing as safe sex within this lifestyle,unless its just same room own parnter

How Transmission Happens Performing oral sex: Contact with infected semen, pre-cum, or vaginal fluids can pass the bacteria to your throat.Receiving oral sex: An infected person's throat bacteria can pass to the penis, vagina, or anus.No symptoms: Oral gonorrhea often has no warning signs, meaning people can spread it without knowing they are sick.

Clubs treat their members as adults and thus able to manage their own lives. I attended a club abroad, where staff zoomed round with torches, intruding on privacy, to check. It was a mood killer . Infections aren't only caught from penetrative sex.

Stick with your own protection of your self and your partners. Infections are wherever people may be having sex

Then why is there no mention of this document, apparently sent to all GPs, anywhere on the internet? What is the point of sending such a document to GPs if they make no attempt whatsoever, anywhere in the UK, to publicise the information to their public? Moreover, as far as I am aware, all reports by UKHSA are available on the gov.uk website. It is highly irregular, in any event, to circulate an internal briefing note outside the organisation: internal briefing notes are discussion documents that are not peer reviewed. Finally the language of the report you quote is not that of any official UKHSA document.

A lady I know joined a couple of months ago and has gone a bit mad with about 40 verifications plus dogging where no veris most likely. She doesn't care and probably all bareback and swallowing.

That's sad.

We test regularly and show each other results in my circle.

I was watching a documentary about a gay guy with HIV with a high viral load who intentionally had unprotected sex with other men as a top and came inside them. Some were infected, and some were not; it was just a ridiculous luck of the draw.

Not everyone has enough sanity and will power to be careful and selective and do regular testing.

I give my partners unprotected oral but I'm wearing in clubs, parties and events to do that with multiple men.

The more men the higher the risk. Same for men but there's less women in this lifestyle for various reasons but often linked to SA.

"Probably bareback and swallowing" ?

So you mean you are making assumptions and have no idea?

I know of ladies that can get 20 verificatioms in a night at a club and be protected for every bit of it, including condoms for oral. I can get that in a club and it's purely social!!

Don't be so presumptuous if you don't actually know, there is no need for judgements on unfounded presumptions.

This is what I thought. That it was not a public knowledge thing. You need access to a specific journal or internal sexual health platform.

They don't often release certain things to the public because it might cause a panic.

When I go to the clinic in person, they do all the checks and offer me thigns because they know I'm a swinger but they also have access to more recent and live data. They are looking at 100s of genitals and samples a day. They know when the rates are low and when the rates are high

but most people just use the home kits so they never interact with a sexual health professional.

I go regularly because GP's are generally shit at gynaecology, especially anything to do with hormones. So the clinic checks for STI and STDs be they also check me for any lumps and bumps that could be a fibroid, cyst or tumour. My grandmother had a tumour the size of a grapefruit and didn't know!

A lot of women don't know what is going on with their vagina, ovaries or uterus. They have pain or discomfort and they just ignore it.

Meanwhile, there are a whole bunch of illnesses that can make us women very, very ill that aren't even sexual diseases or sexual infections.

The men only have to worry about their prostate around age 50. age 45 for black men and age 40 for men who have other relatives with cancer.

Definitely get educated about transmission and depending on how many partners you have in a month, increase the testing and visits to a sexual health nurse/doctor. Some months I hardly see anyone apart from my regular poly pod partners, like this July gone. Some months I've played with my partners plus several others at clubs and parties.

"Clubs aside the bareback thing seems to be getting worse if anything.

A lady I know joined a couple of months ago and has gone a bit mad with about 40 verifications plus dogging where no veris most likely. She doesn't care and probably all bareback and swallowing.

Another lady who I know attends clubs got syphilis which is obviously a really serious one and can be transmitted via oral or even kissing, never mind bareback, and not always visible signs.

"Probably bareback and swallowing" ?

So you mean you are making assumptions and have no idea?

I know of ladies that can get 20 verificatioms in a night at a club and be protected for every bit of it, including condoms for oral. I can get that in a club and it's purely social!!

Don't be so presumptuous if you don't actually know, there is no need for judgements on unfounded presumptions. "

I mean I do know people who like barebacking and swallowing. I don't do it but people like what they like. I don't judge them for that way of playing...just as I hope they don't judge me for wanting to have protection.

I don't know...I just like seeing and feeling the cum on my tits and arse anyway. Lol! Please don't just me for finding creampies boring and facials too overstimulating. Lol!

Just be as safe as possible whatever you do Fabbers. Obviously there's a risk with everything, but you can take a calculated risk rather than going in uninformed with zero precautions. This applies to when I do rope too. I have to let people know the dangers and what precautions we will take.

Even condoms aren't 100%. They can split. But we know there's the morning-after pill and prep, pep and doxy to reduce the risk.

Indeed. Your ever caring labour government cutting back on the things they don't think matter. unfortunately a few more nhs dental practice wouldn't go a miss either! X"

There is no excuse for not testing even if kits aren't available in your area. There will always be a clinic of some sort in or close to your area. And at a clinic because the samples are tested almost immediately there is only a miniscule risk of the test being rejected.

Have you tried to find out if it has been replaced by another? SH24 don’t send out direct for free in Norfolk, but via ICASH clinic can order via SH:UK for free. Weirdly provided by Cambridgeshire NHS 🤷‍♂️

"It boggles my brain why you wouldn’t wrap up in a swingers club.

People who play bare with strangers scare me.

You catch these things through Oral sex. Nobody sane 'wraps up' for oral sex - it just doesn't happen"

I may well be insane but I do use (flavoured) condoms for oral sex, always. If men don’t like it, too bad. I would rather not feel that I have to, but I would much rather be fucked without condoms too, and I don’t do that either!

I get tested at a clinic at least every three months and the last time I was there a month ago there were notices up warning of increasing transmission of gonorrhoea through oral sex.

Not insane. smart. I'm refusing oral blow jobs without protection in London outside of people close to me. Regular Clubmates and poly partners.

Whilst the message is important (play safe kids), I suspect this might be one of the same set of recycled headlines that have been seen over the last 15 years. Periodically a news article will come out with a hard hitting headline to get some shock value.

As far as I can tell there is a high alert for the general West Mids population and Universities in particular. Continue to look after your sexual health and have fun as normal.

We'll be absolutely blunt.

We have NEVER played 'bare' except orally (honestly we don't like sucking balloons either), but we contracted it a few years ago.

Told all openly at the party of the fact too, so they were aware and could take the necessary steps..

Obviously we didn't play in the knowledge and utterly clear on our tests last month.

Long story short, if you're not testing genitally, orally or anally it's a possibility you're carrying without knowing.

Sorry, but true xx

We do the all 3 test thing because if you tell the provider that you do lots of casual sex or a swinger they automatically send you the swabs for all three. I feel like all sensible people who do what we do should do the all three swabs, only way to stay safe and get treated early on if there is an issue. Luckily we have always come back clean. Very honest of you to tell your experience and very commendable.

Yes, everyone who is sexually active on here or otherwise promiscuous should certainly be doing this.

The STI clinic that I go to are really nice and helpful and as I was totally frank about my sexuality and promiscuity actually suggested appropriate vaccinations and pills and knowing what a slut I am give me so many condoms that I feel guilty that I have not used them all when I go to be tested again!

So far I have been clear every time, but it has meant refusing all sex without condoms and being careful generally.

It is not just assumption as I've met her in person when she first joined and seen lots of posts about meets, dogging etc. I know she loves bareback and doesn't seem to care and I know she loves to swallow and posts about it. I also know she doesn't go to clubs. We don't have one in our area and it is all private meets.

I actually said "I know" her so it is you who is being presumptuous assuming it is just some random lady I've come across with 40 veris.

Water is wet. Whatever next

I think anyone with a shred of intelligence knows having lots of casual sex will expose you to a few gribblies potentially over the years . Keep testing and just get fixed up if you get unlucky one time and communicate with others on it . Honestly it’s no drama this day and age.

You can reduce your risks to a degree but not entirely no matter what you wear or do other than not doing it.

I am a firm believer play within your accepted limits and find your tribe of like minded people , you are responsible for your own health choices ultimately .

These things can happen

Dorset Sexual Health have moved from SH:24 to Click-it test kits (the same as we have in Essex). If you register on the Personal Health Record (PHR), you can order kits online.

No one came forward regards being positive, but without playing for at least 3 months prior or subsequently or was easy to pin point the transmission event.

Agreed. The private chats I’ve had with couples and then once oral is mentioned and I state “it’s risky”or “I don’t wanna catch anything” it then totally ends the chat from their end. WTF. Tells you a lot about standards.

It’s not about standards , it’s about individual attitudes toward risk. We would respect anyone that insisted on condoms for oral but wouldn’t meet them. It is our preference, just like people are free not to meet us. We know there is risk, we choose to take that risk, because to put it bluntly, we like sucking cock bare, like cum and receiving oral. We test, and so far have never caught anything but accept that may not always be the case.

"I thought it was a hard rule upheld by the clubs . Anyone caught not using a rubber was told to leave. "

Not at all. None of the clubs I’ve been to expressed a “hard rule” of ‘safe sex only’. The closest some got to that was pointing out free condoms were available in the play areas. Not one club ever stated a ‘no rubber and you’re out on your ear’ policy, and I never saw any staff ‘policing’ play areas to check condoms were in use…..

Is the new “I got lucky in a club last night” the meaning of ‘I got out with a clean bill of health’? 😁

Labour?!!!

Over the past 15 years, funding for sexual health clinics in England has declined in real terms. Responsibility shifted from the NHS to local authorities in 2013. Real-terms spending dropped from £859 million in 2013/14 to £586 million by 2024/25, even as patient consultations and demand for STI and contraception services surged.

So that'll be tory austerity then.

They aren't stopping anything in London. There are multiple clinics and multiple online testing kits. Paid and free. Can't have millions of people shagging unprotected and untested. It would be a public health crisis. The NHS cannot afford that...nor the economy.

Heck they have free testing evenings/nights at the spas and sex clubs.
