Sar-ry,
I know what you mean by hitting the cervix, but I don't think that's what causes infections (altho, I really don't know - take this for what it's worth). In my admittedly limited experience, it was my *partner* who was responsible. I know, your saying "duh" :-). What I mean is certain individuals seemed to be incompatible with me chemically. Getting repeated infections happened with one person, not everyone I was intimate with. It's supposed to help if you urinate right before and right after sex.
Those infections are the pits, aren't they? I remember once ending up in the emergency room because I felt like I'd drank a case of beer and couldn't pee.
I'm curious if anyone else shares my theory.Marie
