BBBJs and antiseptic mouthwash
Electronman
Too much of a good thing is never enough
At the strip clubs that I visit (Detroit area), I'm occasionally offered a BBBJ. I'm very tempted to partake but I worry about STD's from any BB contact, including a BBBJ and especially in a SC. To what extent would I lower the risk of contracting an STD if I asked the dancer to use an antiseptic mouthwash? Are widely available mouthwashes, such as Scope, adequate for the task?

Soooo... don't be silly, wrap that willy!
I'm not of a math major, but wouldn't the odds be 50/50? Either you do or you don't catch something.
Just because there are two outcomes (you do or you don't catch something), does not lead to 50/50 odds. One could set up the two-outcome scenario for anything: You do or you do not win the lottery, for example.
Your odds of catching an STD increase with the increased number of partners you take, and the number of partners those partners have taken... The riskiness of the sexual activity with those partners is the other major factor.
For Electro's question:
A typical rubbing alcohol has concentrations of isopropyl alcohol around 60-70%. With minimal digging online, you'll start to run across discussion threads and some official sources on the virtues of isopropyl alcohol with respect to bacterial and viral disease causing agents. A typical commercial hand sanitizer contains 60% and up of ethyl alcohol, not isopropyl alcohol, but isopropyl alcohol sanitizers can be purchased (just not as easily). Medical grade sanitizing gels tend to use isopropyl alcohol. There is less information available online for the effectiveness of ethyl alcohol in deactivating disease causing agents.
Do enough digging if you're truly interested in that and maybe something will turn up, or at least point you to more reliable information you can obtain offline. Electronman asked about mouthwash, so what's with all the chatter on hand sanitizer? Something like Listerine contains between 20-30% alcohol. If Wikipedia is to be believed, it is an ethyl alcohol mixture. Typical disinfectant mixtures formulated for use on skin are more than double that. If feeling adventurous, there are numerous online guides to mixing homemade sanitizer blends with the alcohol of choice.
Does this answer the question no, but it hints at something an interested person could do to track down more reliable information. If a person considering or engaging in high risk behavior asks a legitimate question, I for one am glad to see it because having better information around improves the hobby for all of us. Accepting the risks is certainly part of the process. Getting the most out of the limited number of tools available that are practical to use OTR is even better.
Clubber: 50-50 chance? Man you are one dumb fuck, aren't you? Might want to get at least a high school level in mathematics before you blather on here.
Yes, 50-50 CHANCE, not odds! In case you are so ignorant that you do not know, the "chance" and "odds" of a single event happening, are NOT the same thing. Odds are a ratio of the likely hood vs. the un-likely hood of that event occurring.
No apology needed, as I am sure you were just ignorant of the difference, and of course, calling others names is also a trait of the ignorant.
Here's a clue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability
which shows that "chance" is a synonym for probability. So by saying the chance is "50-50" you are claiming equal probabilities, which is just non-sense in this case.
Suggestion to you: if you have the guts just admit you made a mistake here, that's really the best course. Unfortunately, I know you are way too insecure, not mention dumb to admit that, so I know you are just going to bury yourself deeper on this while I will be here LMFAO.
It is fine to offer opinions and make assertions, but just in case somebody might believe what's being written let's try and be as specific as possible with the statements. It would help readers and participants alike understand where there is agreement in what has been written and where the perspectives differ. As I said in my last post, getting better information out into the world in a way consumers can understand helps us all. Anybody try putting something like this on WebMD or a similar forum? Maybe it's already there?
Do the products in question contain alcohol or not? What type of alcohol, or if there is a substitute what is it? What is the chemical concentration we're talking about? What are the known effects of that chemical on the disease causing agents, and what is the context? If we're going to go this route, being clear and specific (and as factual as possible) is the responsible thing to do.
I would imagine that someone that counts on wikipedia for a fact, also thinks EVERYTHING on the internet is fact!
No need to waste time on those ignorant ones!
Don't like wikipedia (even though it 100x times smarter than you)? Fine, how about Webster itself:

"probability... synonyms chance..."
IDIOT CLUBBER LOSES AGAIN!
That also implies ethanol, but Wikipedia was the first reference that specifically mentioned ethyl alcohol. Since it was a quick search to flesh out roughly how to go about answering some of the questions posed above, it was good enough (and mentioned by name so that if somebody cared to question it as a reference they could do so).
This is the type of topic better served by informed thought rather than imagination and assumption.
Regarding the answers on probability, the probability is not 50/50 as stated by clubber. The probability factor only comes into play if you do it, and then there are conditional probabilities depending on the providers cleanliness and frequency among other factors.
I am always amazed at how bsaic requests for info sometimes turn into name calling. This site s/b for an exchange of info not personal attacks.
As a new dancer (judging from your profile), you might want to consider getting acquainted with the TUSCL glossary (see the link in the menu at the top of each page).
