Men and women respond romantically and erotically to environment, ambience and atmosphere. There is little question that soft lighting, subdued colours, gentle background music, pleasing scents, melodious voices, and soft and sexy clothes all help to reduce inhibitions and increase the possibility of intimacy.

Chlamydiae are sensitive to various antibiotics including tetracycline and erythromycin. Tetracyclines are also effective against mycoplasmal infections. No effective single dose treatment is available. Penicillins and other beta lactams are ineffective.
