Do you have to shower right after? Or can you wait a couple hours and then shower? I know a couple people that have gotten infections, not STD's. But is that from not showering?

yeast infections have nothing to do with not showering...you don't have to shower for days after sex...please don't do that as the world does not want to smell you...but not showering will not cause yeast infections. yeast infections are an over growth of yeast in the vagina...men can some times get them too. they are often caused by over eating sugar which feeds the yeast, wearing tight non breathable clothing like tight pants and polyester under wear, or panty hose, sitting around in wet clothing like a bathing suit, having one and not washing your underwear in hot water to kill it, wiping back to front, birth control pills can also sometimes cause it.

Actually you are suppose to clean those areas after having sex. It can lead to UTI's in both male and female. I don't know why it happens but it happens. It very important that both go the bathroom after having sex too.
I take a bath and then a shower. My husband takes a shower too. Well sweat and all the other stuff.
Your more like to get a UTI then a yeast infection it you don't shower and go the bathroom after having sex.

My doctor recommends that both partners urinate fairly soon after sex to prevent urinary tract infections. He has not mentioned bathing so I suppose that is an individual preference as to how soon you do that. Of course, showering together afterwards is always pleasant.
By the way, antibiotics can also contribute to yeast infections as well as too many bubble baths for women.

Without showering, you usually end up with a yeast or bladder infection because of the bacteria-especially after oral sex.

Sally, I myself don't always shower right away it ruins the moment. If you know people that have gotten infections its because there partner had them and all the showers in the world will not cure that.

You don't need to shower right after sex. It's just nice since sex gets you sweaty and possibly a bit gooey! Just shower regularly. You do need to pee after sex though within 30 minutes usually. If you pee after sex, you will wash away the bacteria that could get into your urethra after sex that could cause a urinary tract infection.

shower is to clean-up the 'mess' at that area n the sweaty body too ! you can choose not to if you are comfortable with those 'after' condition. Sex is more like a work-out or exercise, do you take any shower after that?
For me the shower should make me feel fresher so i can rest or sleep better, but of course not immediately right after sex, one still need to caress n whisper to their loved one instead of just turn over at snooze off ! its entirely up to you, your preferences !

My husband and I usually at least grab a washcloth to cleanse the areas so we don't stick to the our clothes
