Everybody needs to just chill *no pun to you - Mr. C&G..\n\n   My cocker spaniel actually did get an STD (kinda)\n\n   This story is SOOOOO funny but I swear to God that it is the truth --- (if it's too graphic -- just quit reading)\n\n   Way back when I was a teen -- ha ha...\nwe had a cocker and he got out one morning -- we had been playing in a softball tourny and come home to change and roll another doobie --- errr..\n\n   Anyway, we see the dog running down the street chasing a poodle --- a couple of days later, (my) dog has this "green" oozin' stuff on his privates so my mom takes him to the vet -- \n   My friend and I went to pick the dog up and the vet\ntells me (in the waiting room and in front of other people)\n(oh, and I'm probably high, that day too... )\n\n  Vet:  Your dog has an infection on his 'you know what'.  You will need to rub this cream on his 'you know what' daily for a week.\n\nwhich, by the way -- my "mother" played "nurse"...\n\n       Soooooooo we just died -- and to this day we still 'reminess' on the "time that Dutchie got VD from a french poodle.................

Well... Many animals can swim or float.  So if a parasite is embedded in that creature's skin or oi living inside the intestineal tract, I'd say there wouldn't be too much problem.

All animals can carry bacteria, so this could be possible, but the doctors should be able to detect this.  Best of luck.

All mammals have genitals like our own. Birds and reptiles have cloacas, which act as openings for the entire excretory and sexual systems.

Absolutely. Most STDs are transmitted without ejaculation needing to occur. For example, gonorrhea (sorry bad spelling) produces a discharge and when you come in contact with this discharge you can be infected. Any time you have unprotected contact with somone's genitals you are at risk of getting an STD.

There are STD's out there that can be passed to your mouth.  Pretty NASTY!

Humans are the only known animals that can carry the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS.

Plenty, in fact most animals have their own versions of sexually transmitted diseases. Sexual intercourse is an ideal pathway for disease transmission since the animals are transmitting live cells between themselves into conditions in which the cells will survive. That represents an ideal time for microbes to also change hosts without risking exposure to an environment that could kill them.

More than half of all people will have an STD at some point in their lifetime. So, I would say yes, you can live and love someone and be in a committed marriage with someone who has an STD. Millions of people do.

No!!! Some people carry STDs for many years without knowing it. This is why it is important to get tested if you have reason to suspect you have contracted an STD.

Humans are not the only ones. Primates do and yes dogs and cats do as well. Other sexually reproducing species go through oestrous cycle. Very similar to menstrual cycle, except it isn't always seasonal. Some rodents for example ovulate every 4-5 days; while others are induced ovulators meaning they only ovulate after sex. Both types have cyclical endocrine changes that lead to ovarian changes and ovulation. Interesting tidbit though is that humans are the rare ones...other species only have sex to procreate...humans have sex whether they can have kids or not (while they are pregnant or elderly, for example).

STD's...sound familiar? But a great question anyway.

I wasn't aware it was that common.  I've never heard of women having sex with annimals, and the only men I've ever heard of are in very remote rural areas.  I hardly think this qualifies as an animal sex pandemic.

Probably not, as in the animal kingdom they do not have the kind of rules, values and morals that we have.\n\nHowever, there are probably adult animals that 'mate' with younger animals on a daily basis.

Tony Q is right. The bacteria that causes chlmydia is very fragile once it is outside of a human body. So, toilet seats and door knobs will not sustain this bacteria. Mucus membrane (penis opening, vagina) to mucus membrane (vagina, penis opening, a*n*u*s, throat) contact must occur. Kissing is not a likely route though, because the mouth is too cool and is exposed to light when it opens and closes. But o*r*a*l sex can transmit it, because the throat is a good habitat for the chlamydia bacteria.
