Posts: 367Antibiotic resistance in bacteria can result either from mutations or from the acquisition of resistance genes that confer resistance to one or more antibiotics.

These resistance mechanisms appear in the case of taking antibiotics that are too short, too long or too frequent.
On the other hand, when taking antibiotics, the "good" bacteria sensitive to the drug are eliminated and alter the microbiota, leaving the field open to the pathogen, if it is more resistant. The latter then finds itself in favorable conditions to develop and then disperse, due to easier access to resources. It is therefore possible to contract other types of diseases.

Posts: 1That is a complete misunderstanding of how resistant strains evolve or spread.

The problem with antibiotics is that it will kill all the other strains, eliminating the competition for the resistant strains, thus enabling them to grow and become a problem. During a normal infection you will be infected with different strains, and your immune system tries to kill them all. Antibiotics help your own system, by getting rid of most, and you get rid of the rest yourself. But if you keep ingesting antibiotics, your body will become a long term growth environment for resistant strains, if your own immune system misses an infection, it might be a problem. That could happen for several reasons, e. G. Another type of infection keeping it occupied or life style induced repression, e. G. Alcohol consumption.
This is the explanation that most outbreaks of resistant strains happen in hospitals, where patients' own system are typically not tops. It is also the explanation why e. G. Resistant STI's spread among sex workers and other people with many partners who already employ some sort of pep.
So the pep in effect raises your chances of catching a resistant strain, not the opposite, because it will not encounter competition in your body. Luckily the chance of that happening is still very low, so it will not matter significantly.
You should probably be more concerned about how it affects your microbiome.

Posts: 832Doxycycline has been used as a prophylactic for malaria for many years. The bigger issue is people getting infected, taking Doxy and then stopping before the infection is cleared fully. This is what causes resistant strains. But also if a disease gets widely spread, it can become resistant to certain antibiotics. Basically bacteria and virus mutate randomly. The more it spreads, the more it mutates. The more it mutates, more the probability of resistant strains. So actually prophylactic use should reduce spread and thereby reduce mutation and resistance. Of course antibiotics have effects on your gastric system and liver and so you don't want to take them all the time. But using doxy Prep for a few days or weeks is not harming anyone or anything.

Essentially, the doxy susceptible bacteria entering my body will get killed before causing problems, and hence they don't evolve into doxy-resistant strains. Of course, this does nothing in the event a doxy-resistant strain enters my body from whatever source. This information was based on only about 2 minutes discussion with my dermatologist.

Posts: 398This is true, but also not true. It really doesn't apply using as a prep. Resistant bacteria becomes resistant when you're taking antibiotics for an infection and it doesn't clear it and so therefore it comes back. Now it knows how to evade the antibiotics. And then it develops resistance. If the bacteria never gets seeded in the first place, It won't become resistant because it never took on an infection. That's the reason for prep. Now it is true that specifically gonorrhea is becoming quite resistant and is in many cases requiring a three therapy treatment now. Azithromycin, Suprax and doxycycline as many times when someone picks up one of these things they get both of them. They get both chlamydia and gonorrhea. You can substitute suprax with the shot. Any one of these three antibiotics should clear both gonorrhea and chlamydia but due to the resistance now more frequent, doctors are now treating all infections with at least two antibiotics. Eventually, most likely will become resistant to these and after that? The world might change at least the sex world. Because gonorrhea will begin running repent, and it won't be treatable. So preventing it in the first place is your best bet. Taking one, 100 MG dose of doxycycline every other day during a mongering trip probably yields you about a 98% chance of not catching any bacterial related infection assuming you came into contact with it. Doing this does not cause bacterial resistance because if you're exposed to a resistant form of it, it was already resistant.

Posts: 367Taking an antibiotic unnecessarily therefore has a double negative effect on an individual by altering their microbiome and protective barrier and by selecting resistant bacteria. It can thus increase the risk of a subsequent infection that is difficult to treat.
Antibiotic resistance is now reaching dangerously high levels in all regions of the world. New resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading worldwide, undermining our ability to treat common infectious diseases. For a growing number of infections, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, sepsis, gonorrhoea, and foodborne illnesses, treatment is becoming more difficult or even impossible as antibiotics become less effective.
In countries where antibiotics are available over the counter for humans and animals, the problem of the emergence and spread of resistance is even worse. Similarly, in countries without standardized treatment guidelines, antibiotics are overprescribed by health workers and veterinarians and overused by the general public.
Unless we take urgent action, we will soon enter a post-antibiotic era in which common infections and minor injuries will once again be deadly.
Antibiotic resistance is the phenomenon whereby bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Bacteria exposed to antibiotics evolve and develop defense mechanisms that allow them to escape their action. This phenomenon affects both bacteria that cause infections (pathogenic bacteria) and generally harmless bacteria that are naturally present in our bodies (so-called commensal bacteria), in animals (pets or food production) and in the environment. When resistance has developed in one or other of these bacterial species, it can be transmitted to other species, and thus contribute to the expansion and spread of the phenomenon. Antibiotics thus become ineffective and can no longer treat us against infections caused by resistant bacteria.
Antibiotics act not only on the bacteria responsible for the infection to be treated, but they also act on bacteria that are useful to our body. All bacteria are therefore at risk of developing new antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The more antibiotics are taken, the greater the risk of developing resistant bacteria that make subsequent antibiotic treatments less effective for the patient and for the community.

Posts: 983I want to correct your post. Nobody here that posts about BBFS with ladies has ever said they have never gotten an STD such as the big G or the big C. At least I have not read one such post recently. Including my own posts.

Finally, everyone here who practices BBFS with the ladies knows what they are doing. Meaning they accept the risks. Therefore, we dont need you to post about this IMHO.
If any forum member practicing BBFS with the ladies is naive enough to believe they are 100% immune from STDs, they will find out soon enough thats not the case. There is always a chance you might catch something. The debate about female to male transmission of HIV is not what I am referring to. Just a general statement on this is what I am doing to hopefully educate others to never practice this hobby of BBFS thinking you are immune. In 15 years of being here practicing this hobby, I have caught something twice. Both times it was Chlamydia. I test for HIV every month and take medication to prevent it. No one is immune.

Posts: 2031I do essentially the same thing. I don't drink much alcohol, but caffeine does the same thing. I drink a lot of Coke before and/or immediately after sex. For skin reasons, my dermatologist has me taking daily Doxycycline, so I'm covered there. Also, both of us wash before sex and I wash immediately after sex. Since I started this routine, I've stayed clear of all STDs. I only hope that good fortune continues. I get an extensive set of STD tests before and after visiting Thailand. I repeat my HIV tests a few weeks after returning home.

Posts: 398Prep food are the bacterial STD's
I have definitely put my dick in some suspect things over the years and knock on wood, to date I have never picked anything up. Now this is definitely not bulletproof, but it is worth consideration for a trip to Thailand. If you plan on going bareback a few times. Generally speaking, I will take my blowjobs bare and I cover up for actual fucking. But every once in a while if I get with a super hottie who is super into it, the heat of the moment takes over and I might take a dip in the pool without my raincoat on. It's kind of a case by case situation for me. If there's any odor or anything looks abnormal, I'm not going there for sure. Condom or not. That said, I have always done two things when engaging in this hobby. Before the deed, whether it be beer or water, I will make sure I have consumed enough that within about 30 to 45 minutes I will definitely be running to the toilet to urinate. I try to time this. And if I know I'm going to be partaking in a mongering adventure for several days, I will also take 100 MG of doxycycline every other day. This is basically assured to keep you from picking up any of the bacterial STDs. And urinating within a few minutes after the deed will also up the chances you walk away unscathed. Doxycycline is not practical to take for a one time encounter. But if you're going to somewhere like Patea and you're going to fuck 30 girls in two weeks, it's definitely something to consider. Especially if you might go bareback with a few of them. Now I know some doctors will say you should take 100 MG per day if on a mongering adventure, but this conflicts with drinking alcohol. It's not recommended to take that medication if you're going to consume large amounts of alcohol. But every other day seems to be still very effective and will allow you to drink alcohol.

Posts: 149Gardasil9 for 45+
US pharmacies can't give you the vaccine because it is only approved by the US FDA up to age 45.

Or you can go to a new pharmacy and tell them you're 44 (if you pass on looks).
Cost is $220 per dose. You need 3 doses, spaced 6 months apart, so it's $660 total.
It's not approved for 45+ in the USA because no studies were done.
It is believed that over a certain age your body will not generate the necessary immune response, so vaccine would not be effective.
That said, you can get it at any age in either Hong Kong or Amsterdam (among others).

Posts: 1009HIV PrEP
For anyone interested in starting to take PrEP (I worry about HIV, so for me PrEP was a game changer), I recently saw a recommendation for this clinic in Bangkok:
https://pribta-tangerine.com/prep-new-999/
The price of a the test, with a 30 day supply of PrEP, is only slightly higher than buying PrEP at a random pharmacy, so seems like an excellent choice. Caveat: I have not been to this clinic, but it was highly recommended, and I plan to go there next time, to get both the test and the PrEP medince.

Posts: 983What makes you think we are going to come into contact with the same girls as you? What I or other members do is not relevant to what you do. Secondly, how could you possibly control who else sees one of the girls you see? For example, other customers, other boyfriends, other Kiks, a Thai BF or husband. You just can't control what these girls do. Therefore, no amount of preaching from you on here will protect you or change that. Everything you say is not relevant here. The Thai girl that goes with you will be fucking someone bareback. We know it won't be you, but it will be someone. So please crack on. Just know this, you will never be protected under your twisted logic, as every Thai girl you go with, no matter where they work or how they work, is fucking someone bareback. Plus you always wear a condom right? So, what are you worried about?
