I Was Told That If Your are Promiscuous This Could Lead to Infertility Later

Ivory_Tower · 08-15-2009, 05:05 PM

When I was a teenager my parents told me that if I slept around that could possibly lead to my inability to have children later. Later, I did some research and read that certain STD's can do that (not necessary the amount of partners)---IF you contract them. So, my question is, is that really a true statement? I've been with two people and I've been tested for all std's and I am in perfect health.

It's true. Untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause infertility.

lol, you haven't been promiscuous and you'll be ok and yes certain STDs can affect the reproductive system if you don't get them treated soon I heard.

I guess I'm good because I've been given a clean bill of health twice?

well untreated stds... of course it can lead to problems, but you can sleep with 1 person and get an STD if you aren't careful .......and you could s leep with 100 people and be carefuland be disease free!

don't worry, i'm sure you're fine.

look, if you have sex with 100 strangers, and they are all STD free, then you'll be ok. if you have sex with your boyfriend who is lying about cheating and he has chlamydia, then you can wind up infertile if you don't treat it in time. it's kind of all a crap shoot. of course, being promiscious increases the chances of getting an STD.

I've been broken up with my ex for three and a half months now. I got tested after we'd been broken up for a month. I don't believe he cheated on me. They said everything was just fine.

Do I need to be checked again?

STD's yes promiscuity no

Unless your fornicating with a sledge hammer or a radioactive isotope i think your gonna be just fine.

STD's? Yes. I know chlamydia due to it's lack of symptoms can be very bad for that.

Sex? Uhh, if it made us unable to do what it's designed for, it would be a bit of an evolutionary boo boo.

As long as you are using protection and getting checked, you should be fine.
