I caught crabs on the beach once....except they were actual crabs. And I caught alot of them. The only thing I ever got from having sex on a beach was sand in places where it shouldn't be.
Only if your partner had pubic lice.
Pediculosis pubis, known as crabs or crab lice, is an infestation with the crab louse (Phthirus pubis), a millimeter-sized insect that infests the pubic hair, feeds on human blood, and multiplies rapidly. It uses the crablike claws on its legs to grasp the hair of its host, on which female lice lay eggs. Eggs hatch into nits within 5 to 10 days and grow into egg-laying lice in about the same amount of time. A crab louse lives for about 6 weeks, but dies within 24 hours without blood. They do not pose a serious health threat, but are irritating, contagious, and indicate a risk for other STDs. Topical treatments, such as creams, lotions, and shampoos are used to eradicate louse infestation. Permethrin cream rinse is usually applied to the pubic area, the fold of the buttocks, and the entire groin area. Crab lice are transmitted commonly during sexual intercourse, when the louse moves from the pubic hair of its host to the pubic hair of the partner. Oral sex can lead to infestation of the eyelashes, eyebrows, face, chest hair, or scalp. They also may be acquired through contact with infested clothing or bedding. Poor hygiene is associated with the spread of crab lice, but this does not imply that it is your hygiene that is poor.
