ENT Specialist,  's  Response
in my opinion, NO there is no such kind of infection arise from sexual activities. bad odour is due to rubbing of skin, it can arise anywhere you rub ur skin in body, like on forearm. it occurs due to skin bacteria and skin sebum mix with sweat ,create foul smell. I won't recommend antibiotics unless you develop some symptoms like redness, swell,pain.
