Q: I had a yearly exam in January, then started getting bikini waxes. I noticed some strange things going on down south so I got another exam in June. After the exam, the doctor called to tell me that I had chlamydia and to warn me about having unprotected sex. But I didn't have unprotected sex; I only had protected sex between the January and June exams. My partners claim they were uninfected. I'm so grossed out, and wondering if my partners lied to me. Between the two exams, I had 3 partners, all with condoms. All three claim that they have gotten tested and that they don't have chlamydia. Is it possible to get chlamydia from a bikini wax?
Q: My partner and I recently started having sexual intercourse, and neither one of us are virgins. We are having problems though, as he has a lot of "girth" or circumference to his penis, and I have only been with one other person and so I am not the right size for him. Another problem with this is that I am on a low-estrogen birth control and so I have difficulties with vaginal lubrication, but he doesn't like to use lube. Is there anything I can do to make it easier for us, and easier for me to get lubricated vaginally?
