HO HO HO and the Santa Clause Clap

Why is STD called the clap?
The term "the clap" is a slang term for the sexually transmitted disease (STD) gonorrhea. The term's origins are uncertain, but there are several theories:
The French word clapier
The word clapier is an old French term that means "brothel" or "rabbit hutch". The term may have been used to describe an infection of the groin, or clapier bubo, which was contracted after visiting a brothel. The English may have shortened clapier bubo to "the clap".
The Old English word clappan
The Old English word clappan means "to beat" or "to throb", which may have reflected the burning, itching, or pain associated with gonorrhea.
A medieval practice
Some say the term comes from a medieval practice of clapping one's genitals to reduce pain or cure the disease.
The term "the clap" became more commonly associated with STDs contracted by US soldiers during World Wars I and II.
Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It's one of the most common STDs, but it often doesn't cause symptoms, making it easy to spread to others. Gonorrhea can be spread through vaginal fluid, semen, anal sex, oral sex, or sharing sex toys. Untreated gonorrhea can cause long-term health complications.

Thanks Phmzee, until this post, I was really in dark about what really happened to that dude, though other post mentioned something about STD, what exactly it was I didn't know.

this is going to be the most viewed post in Dallas Eccie history

Thanks for posting, we gotta look out for each other.

Chlamidia dumb dumbs. Pretty much asymptomatic, and I've had it twice this past year thanks to the studios. No idea but I get tested quarterly and it popped twice in the past year.

Gonnorhea, had that years ago thanks to an amp, not a studio. That had major unpleasant symptoms. But Chlamidia really doesn't. My guess is a bunch of those studio girls have it and have no idea.

Looks like you dropped the ball on another review…

People are texting while doing 80 on the freeways; they have no concern for others on the road. So of course, there are bb mongers that have no concern for anyone else, including the K-Lady that gives them bb. Sad.

I've yet to meet a studio girl that didn't at least do BBBJ. You are a damn fool if you partake in the hobby and are not getting tested regularly, ideally quarterly.
