How does one catch and get rid of crabs?

January 20, 2008
My boyfriend and I just recently agreed that it's ok to fool around. While he was out of town I did. Now I think I might have crabs. It's only been a couple of days but it is mighty itchy down there. Especially between my legs. What types of activity make it possible to catch crabs? Locker room benches, showers, fucking, sucking or just frottage? How do I get rid of them? Thanks.—Anonymous
Oops! Crabs are certainly not good. They are very easily transmitted by even just minor contact between your pubic or anal regions, not to mention "contaminated" towels, bedsheets, and the like. You can even occasionally contract crabs through toilet seats or benches, although that is pretty rare. Fortunately, crabs not harmful, and can be easily treated. Just drop by your local pharmacy to pick up any of their over-the-counter medications to get rid of them. Every gay guy (and many straight ones) get crabs from time to time. Deal with it, make sure you get rid of them, and move on with your life.—Aaron Lawrence
