Valentina, also known as Mistress Valentina, has been working in the sex industry since her late teens and is well-versed in the world of kink and play. She is not surprised by the rise of drug-resistant STI, shigella, in the UK.
She shared that anal is a popular subject for content and that many men seek sex workers to experience it. According to Dr. Bhavini Shah, shigella is caused by the bacteria found in feces, and even a tiny amount can cause infection.
The bacteria can be transmitted through contaminated food, and also sexually through activities such as anal sex, fisting, handling of condoms or sex toys used for anal sex, oral sex after anal sex, touching someone’s backside, or rimming. Valentina claims she is not aware of any shigella cases from her client base, and she provides “good advice” for safe anal sex practices.
She emphasizes the importance of cleanliness before engaging in anal play and regularly educates her clients about safe and clean practices. Despite receiving requests for anal play, Valentina chooses to avoid it due to considering it generally dangerous and having a weak immune system.
She acknowledges that engaging in this activity might not be worth the risk and believes that as long as it stays as a fantasy, it is fine; however, she condemns it as a disgusting and dangerous kink to have. Valentina is determined to raise awareness about how to safely enjoy anal play, emphasizing the importance of using protection such as condoms with sex toys to maintain hygiene and avoid grave consequences.
She encourages a clean and safe approach to anal play for those interested in this type of activity.
