I had a unrinary infection which my doctor said was likely sexually transmitted. Nothing showed up on any lab tests eg; blood, urine cultures, but medical protocol calls for treatment based on symptoms alone due to faulty testing and also newer bugs which have no test. Mycoplasma Ureaplasmaand others which create serious symptoms up to infertility, but do not show up in testing. There are now over 48 STDs according to a few sources I mixed together. Not like the olden days of Clap, Syphilis, and HIV ... nope at least 48 now and newer ones being added to the list as the superbugs resitant to antibiotics and antiviral drugs and therapies [including herbal] thrive. Even scabies is now considered an STD ... not ALWAYS transmitted through sex ... but usually. I had scabies in mexico and at first thought it was from dirty hotel sheets ........ maybe .?......... but then i remembered i was physically intimately close with a mexican, not 'sexual', just snuggling close skin to skin. Genital warts are for life, no cure, and can be transmitted after treatment. Pelvic Inflamitory disease isnt just for women anymore ... medicine is recently revealing how it affects men as well. I asked a doctor about all this rise in STDs since 2000 and he said "The Pharmaceutical Giants know there is a need for newer antibiotics to treat thesse and other bacterial infections but they dont see enough money in it, the big money in in other drugs". So even though superbugs resistant to antibiotics are ruining peoples health the pharma giants dont care, and arent prepared for a pamdemic, which btw is now, CBC radio repoted 2 years ago that 63% of all teens aged 15-17 [participating in the study] tested positive for an STD, Single women aged 30 tested 74% positive. WHY WOMEN ? Gender Disicrimination? NO Women's body design makes symptoms often impossible to sense, and hence go untreated, men having the external phalis KNOW when things are amiss Girls often think "0h my period is just a little off". Well its tru I put some reading into this. maybe others will too? Free Love ? Yup Love is truely free, like life, no charge. But sex can cost ya big time!
1s it hip cool right-on far-out and groovy to talk about STDs ? On another thread [lost virginity] a emember ststes maybe he lost erection due to a condom. 1 might ask how does a condom say 'love'? 1snt it like copulating with a plastic bag ? 1f making love is about love how do condoms [protection] enter into the picture ? What about the exploitation of sexuality ? The hippie culture complains a lot about exploitation of environmenmtal factors destroying nature, but advocates sexual liberation, which includes porn, disease, and commodity factors. 1snt this hypocrisy ? Doublespeak ?
