Deep Throat opines on socks
The reactions from Deep Throat (all 5 of them) were all over the map on this subject.
One maintains that she gets cold feet (even in the summer).
One agrees with the psychology theory, even though she tells clients who ask that it is a force of habit.
One usually wears longer socks and uses them as her piggy bank.
One says the floors in many places are nasty, dirty, whatever (in one place there was a stem on a "freshly made" bed, so she says imagine what could be on the floor, maybe a shattered stem that would give you a nasty infection). Even in nicer notels it was just force of habit.
One didn't really know. She was just more comfy in her socks.
So I don't know that this provides any closure on the issue other than to say there are a lot of different reasons and probably a few more.
Good source for STD information
Below is some information I recently found about Chamydia that surprised me a little. Even if you think you have never had anything it is a good idea to be test occasionally.
The San Francisco City Clinic has a lot of great information on all the bad bugs you should be concerned about.
Chlamydia
Chlamydia (cla-mid-ee-ah) is a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) caused by a type of
bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia can infect men, women, and children. It is
passed from one person to another during vaginal, anal and oral sex.
How is Chlamydia spread?
Chlamydia is passed from one person to another during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. It can
also be spread to the eyes by touching fluids from the vagina or penis and then touching
your eyes. Babies of infected mothers can get eye and lung infections during delivery.
What do I look for?
Men:
· Discharge from the urethra or the anus
· Pain or itching of the head of the penis
· Pain with urination
50% of infected men have no symptoms
Women:
· Pain and itching of the vulva or vagina
· Discharge from the vagina
· Unusual bleeding from the vagina, or the anus
· Pain with urination
· Pain when having sex
80% of infected women have no symptoms
Symptoms may appear within 30 days of infection but then will go away. The infected person
remains infected and can pass chlamydia to a sex partner. If you are sexually active, see your
doctor regularly to be tested for chlamydia and other STDs.
If you contracted Chlamydia from anal sex and you do not know the HIV status of that
sexual partner, you should be concerned about your increased risk of HIV. Talk to your
clinician.
For a STD check-up or treatment,
see your doctor, local clinic, or come to:

An idiot maybe. Wrong? I don't think so.
My original premise is still true. You are more likely to catch an infection from kissing. You tried to make an issue with STDs. Kissing is not, IMHO, a sexual act, by its self. It does not take a genius to figure this one out. There are more air borne infectious diseases than there are STDs.
[QUOTE=CookyJar] You are more likely to catch something from kissing than from having your dick sucked. If you have a cavity, bleeding gums, recently bitten your tongue or the inside of you cheek, or have any open sore in your mouth, the chances of getting something from deep kissing increases. We are talking about anything from the flu, the common cold, mono, up to TB and worse. There are lots of nasty little bugs that are passed on by mouth to mouth contact. It should also be mentioned that if you have an open sore or herpes on you dick while receiving a blow job, you increase your risk for infection.[/QUOTE]
[b]Infectious Diseases in Saliva[/b]
Infectious diseases are spread through several routes of transmission. “Oral transmission” refers to spreading of microbes through saliva, foods or drinks. When a person accidentally consumes microbe-contaminated items, such as saliva during kissing, the swallowing action of the tongue wipes the microbes against the back of the throat, allowing the microbe to enter the body. Infections, such as mononucleosis (the kissing disease), caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are spread via oral transmission from virus-containing saliva.
Other infectious microbes that spread through saliva do so by sticking to the inner surface of the cheeks and mouth, the tongue, or teeth. An example is the bacterium Streptococcus, which can cause an array of infections, including gum disease and strep throat.
An important thing to keep in mind is that the surfaces of the respiratory tract (nose, mouth, and throat) are continuous and made up of similar tissues. As a result, microbes that are found in the saliva can generally be found in other parts of the respiratory tract, including the nose and throat. Therefore, even colds and flus (and other respiratory infections) can potentially be spread through the saliva.
[b]Infectious Diseases from Mouth Sores Cold sores[/b]
Cold sores are caused by Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1). In contrast to infections spread through the saliva, HSV-1 is spread through open cold sores on the lips or near the mouth. Although the infection is contagious through all stages of a cold sore, the infection is most contagious when the sore is open and leaking fluid.
[b]Hand, foot, and mouth disease[/b]
Hand, foot, and mouth disease, caused by Coxsackie virus, is another infectious disease that is spread through open sores in the mouth.
[b]How is TB Spread?[/b]
It is spread through the air (by coughing) from person to person.

PS: Thanks for the whole/hold heads-up. I hate when that happens.
Thanks for scaring me more!

I'm hanging them up until this whole H1N1 thing is over!
