    you can't get a disease from the chlorine but you can get a disease if the sex is unprotected.

    No you can't get a disease from the pool if it is taken care of correctly. Chlorine won't give you a disease because that is the chemical killing all the diseases in the pool. The only problem with having night time fun in the pool is the shrinkage that your boy friend could get from the water.

    No, you cannot get a disease from the chlorine (The purpose of the chlorine being to kill any water borne diseases). However, if your partner has any sexually transmitted infections, water or no water (chlorine or no chlorine), without protection they will be passed to you. Additionally, the pressure created by the penis being inserted into you forces chlorinated water into your vaginal canal. You won't get a disease from this, but the chlorine will strip away your internal lining and could give you an infection.

    Hah.

    Tell him that's like getting a disease from hydrogen peroxide or band-aids.

    The whole reason chlorine is in the pool is to kill germs, so it is highly unlikely that it'll give him any kind of disease.

    However, I don't think that latex will react very well to that kind of environment (with the chlorene and all) so you might want to be careful about the safe sex aspect. Otherwise, I say go for it.

    No you cant get a disease from the chlorine. But to warn you it does increase the likelihood of pregnancy so use protection. And do it in a private pool for obvious reasons.

    You can't get a disease from the pool...

    But it's hard for me to buy into the pool sex idea because I don't think it's natural for water to be pushed up into that area. Even with chlorinated, supposedly germ free water, I bet there's still something in it that you don't want in your gina.

    I dont think you can, but I suggest not to because bodily fluids from previous swimmers do float around. Why dont you just take a nice romantic bath together with candles and all that good stuff and take care of business there. Its the same thing but cleaner.

    Although chlorine kills bacteria, i think its more sanitary and easier on the mind if done in a better enviroment.

    Yes you can get lots of disease from sex in a pool. THis is not a good idea. Haven't you heard of people getting sick from being in a pool that wasn't properly treated?

    u can get a disease anywhere...any day...it does not matter... if the person has a disease and you have unprotected sex..u can catch it...so make sure you still be safe even if in the pool because water is no damage but still water is also no cure.

    No you cant get a chlorine disease but you do still need to use a condom because you can still get pregnant.
