Bacteria and viruses that grow in warm,moist places in the body causes stds.they are passed from one person to another through sex. is it right doctor? my question is,all sex causes std in couples?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You misunderstand. Increased growth in warm, moist places applies to almost all the billions of bacteria on human skin, in our intestines, etc -- but only a very few are sexually transmitted. These evolved to require sex itself -- not just warmth and moisture -- for transmission. Sex itself never causes STD; you must first catch a sexually transmitted bacteria or virus.
