How does one develop bacterial vaginosis?

Even though bacterial vaginosis is not considered a sexually transmitted disease you can acquire it sexually. 

You can easily acquire the infection from a new sexual partner(s) and from an old sexual partner who may have been promiscuous behind your back. Other risk factors for bacterial vaginosis include wearing an IUD, excess douching and recent antibiotic use. 

Some women develop the infection without any of the above risk factors- this is called bad luck.

I am a 24 year old female and during sex i have noticed a very foul odor (smells fishy) coming from the vagina. Do you know what it may be?

Yes, most likely you have acquired bacterial vaginosis. This infection is caused by an organism known as gardnerella. 

Bacterial vaginosis is very common and often associated with vaginal discharge and a foul odor. During intercourse, viable sperm can cause release of volatile amines from the discharge. Bacterial vaginosis is not considered to be a sexually transmitted disease. 

However, you do  need treatment. The disorder is easily diagnosed by looking under a microscope or by smelling the discharge (whiff test). The infections is treated with either clindamycin or metronidazole. These antibiotics can help resolve the infection in a few days. 

In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene and avoid intercourse for a few days. Your partner does not have to be treated.

Does Viagra cause spontaneous erections?

When you buy Viagra pills, you will discover that you will still need a partner to have sex. Moreover, the penis has to be stimulated before it will become erect. Men who buy Viagra will discover that the pill does not result in spontaneous erections. However, the erection can last anywhere from 2-4 hours.


Aphrodisiacs are so called “love hormones” or induce the “cuddling feeling”, but Viagra does no such thing. Viagra does not automatically enhance feelings of affection, attraction or sexual arousal. Viagra will only increase the potency of an erection but does not enhance sexual feelings. Therefore, Viagra is only meant to treat erectile dysfunction. 


Men who have no problems achieving an erection will not benefit from Viagra. Men who are lonely or are trying to seek partners for sex should not buy Viagra, as it has ZIPPO aphrodisiac properties.

Is Viagra like an aphrodisiac?

Absolutely Not. 


Many men buy Viagra with the mistaken belief that it will somehow increase their attraction towards the opposite sex. Viagra is not an aphrodisiac. Aphrodisiacs are substances that increase attraction and Viagra has no such properties. No matter who many Viagra pills you consume, it will never act like a magnet and increase your attraction for sex partners. Unfortunately, many online websites suggest that men buy Viagra pills for its aphrodisiac properties. This is misleading advertisement and a bunch of crap.


There is no ideal aphrodisiac that work for everyone. Commonly reported aphrodisiacs include chocolates, oysters, rhino horn, tiger’s penis, raw beetles, Spanish fly, alcohol and yohimbine. Unfortunately, none of these substances work as true aphrodisiacs and many of them have harmful side effects.
