Stop having sex?

People say bacterial vaginosis is not sexually trasmittable, but everytime we have sex, he comes out with small red irritated bumps on his penis. they go away within 15 minutes after sex. I know it's not anything like Herpes because I know what herpes look like. It seems as if my vaginal secretions are irritating him. Is this normal since I have bacterial vaginosis?


I'm taking antibiotics for the BV now. but why is he getting this irritation/rash from my vagina?

Has his penis always gotten irritated or just since you got the infection? Is his skin really sensitive? Does it start to hurt him while having sex? Also, Every time you have unprotected sex with him, he is most likely reinfecting you with it. I'm sorry. I don't care what the doctors say. If you can get salmonella from a dirty counter, you can spread bacteria in any way! And hello, it is bacteria. He probably needs to be taking some medicine too. WEAR A CONDOM! It isn't that uncomfortable guys. Learn to deal with it!

why doesn't he wear a condom???

Use a condom and see if he doesn't get the bump... then you'll know your answer.

he doesn't have that.... my boyfriend gets it too we were really worried till we went to the doc. and found out its just irritation of friction between the vagina and the penis.... if it doesn't hurt, there's nothing to worry about :) trust me

Use condoms and talk to your doctor.

One word: Condom!!

You said it goes away after 15 minutes? That doesn't sound like a problem, its probably just chaffing.

all bacteria is transmittable, it doesn't have to be a disease. Just play safe and use a condom. by the way, didn't you ask this question already?

You should never have relations while you are infected with anything. Be patient. Your probably giving it back to him.

Well - it's an infection and regardless of whether you're on antibiotics or not he can still get an infection too if you're having sex and still have the infection.

You shouldn't have sex at all until you're off of the antibiotics... even then, he should wear a condom.

men can get the same infections we can. if his is not circumcised or even if he is he can get yeast infections and so forth so you two will pass it back and forth until you stop having sex.you both should be taking the same antibiotics so go to your doctor and tell him your partners having the same symptoms and he will give him cream for his infection and pills for you.
