A member asked:
I only shower in the morning. does sleeping with dirty clothes everyday (only worn to my office to work) and later having sex on the same bed put me at risk for any infection/stds?

Humans have a healthy balance of simple germs on all their skin surfaces. How often you bathe daily has little effect on this balance. Sexual activity exposes you to whatever the partner brings along, but this does not change with your ritual. Periodic skin/other infections arise when you are exposed to new sources/encounters that transfer the new germs to you. I wouldn't worry about your ritual.

This scenario does not increase the risk of std which is from having sex with someone who has it. General infections depend on many factors other then wearing 'dirty' clothes.
