So, I’m usually quite well-educated about how you can and can’t catch STI’s, but I recently got chlamydia after having only protected sex with partners I trust! (It’s possible I did get it from one of them, but it feels unlikely!)

However, I work as a stripper, and dance on a pole that all the 40+ other girls who work at the club dance on too, wearing just the tiniest g-string that barely covers me. And many moves require contact between the pole and my lady bits. So if it’s possible to catch STI’s like chlamydia from sharing sex toys, wouldn’t it technically be possible to catch it from having my parts in contact with a pole that another girl has just been dancing on the same way...?

Maybe someone here knows more about this and can help! Thanks!
