When you have BV, it’s the bad odor that is truly upsetting. Because the odor comes from such a private part of your body, it’s embarrassing and limits what you want to do.

Another misconception is that bacterial vaginosis is an actual infection. Non-health professionals can think of bacterial vaginosis as an infection; however, bacterial vaginosis is really just an imbalance of the vaginal flora. When the imbalance occurs, then certain anaerobic bacteria such as Gardnerella bacteria increase their numbers.

Many people don’t understand this simple fact, and that’s why they remain enslaved to a life of dependence on a medical system that really doesn’t heal them and only puts a band-aid on their health issues.

When oral sex appeared on the social scene, it often became a way for some people to walk the fine line between what was wrong and what was right. If they didn’t have actual sexual intercourse with someone but instead engaged in oral sex, they could still maintain their innocence.
