Hundreds of thousands of people could unwittingly be carrying a newly-identified sexually transmitted infection, scientists warned today.
New research has revealed that an infection called Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) - first identifed more than 30 years ago - is transferred through sexual contact.
It is now estimated that one per cent of the British population aged 16-44 is infected

Oh my. Maybe there is a reason that successful societies at least try to maintain standards of fidelity. Maybe there are real world penalties for promiscuity. Maybe Behavioral “Scientists” and their claims that free and easy sex is acceptable normal behavior are complete hogwash. Perhaps, just perhaps, those evil religious people who speak out against porn and adultery have a point.
Nah. What fun is that? Do your own thing, Baby!

In particular, the researchers believe more than 90 per cent of cases in men - and more than 66 per cent of women - are in people aged 25-44 years. These people are less likely to be diagnosed as they are not included in the STI prevention measures currently aimed at young people in Britain, the researchers add.
Socialized medicine is wonderful! /s
Apparently people aged 25-44 don't have enough sex to be worth STI focused health care. Or something.
