Back in 1962, there was no VD in our area. I heard older men brag about picking up some gal at Oklahoma and Kansas bars for fun and games.
That all changed after the Playboy Philosophy and sexual revolution hit! Fifteen years later everyone I know who picked up some skank at an Oklahoma bar always ended up with clap or crabs.
Of course, whether or not one gets an STD after “picking up a skank,” one will still reap dire consequences for such sin.
