So, after sex I tend to be all itchy.
Is that normal?
And one night I slept at my boyfriends and went to work the next morning. I didn't take a shower until I got home from work.
I had a vaginal infection soon after that.
If you don't wash after sex can you get yeast or other vaginal infections?

I'm not sure about other types of infections, but urinary infections can be caused by not washing after sex. It's also a good idea to urinate as soon as possible after sex to flush out bacteria that could cause infections.

Ok thanks for the info. I don't like getting up after sex, since I like to cuddle naked but I guess i'll have to start doing that.

Yeah, it's no fun having to get up and run to the bathroom. But i've heard you have about a half hour window to pee afterward, so you could cuddle for a little while and then go take care of it. As long as you don't fall asleep. Lol
