I’m screwed.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

Back when I was studying health in seventh grade I read an article on the doctors who were treating people for various VD's in a free clinic. They were started with one young man, got a list of his partners and hunted them down to tell them they were probably infected, they then got a list of their partners and so on. Finally ended with the original young man who was now reinfected but they did not get to him in time.

Talk about being scared straight!

[the OlLine Rebel]

No, it’s natural for men to screw around. Because it’s easy.

Much easier to stick an external organ in and out without problems or discomfort, AND not have the imposition of pregnancy disrupt things, or menses, or just plain the infections caused internally by the external organ.

How’s Wilt Chamberlain doing?

[skimbell]

Yeah, I was into midgets for a while. Does each of them count as 1?

[henkster]

Those who have more sex partners are also more likely to live unhealthy lifestyles as the article noted. Correlation is not causation.

[aquila48]

LOL!

[bwest]

Yeah, but what a way to go!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Is there a difference between having cancer and being diagnosed with cancer?

[odawg]

“It always makes me very angry when correlation is confused with causation.”

You don’t use seat belts? You habitually drive over 70 mph?

Just those two correlates result in higher death rates.

My ex-wife is a midget. I was nuts over her.

[gathersnomoss]

Rim shot..... If you’re lucky...

[DannyTN]

Is the increased cancer risk due to stress or viruses?

[gathersnomoss]

Are you implying that, therefore, I am having sex with myself? What the....

[outofsalt]

I dated a midget. On our first date she pulled out a joint and asked, “Do you want to get medium?”

[L,TOWM]

They mentioned that the upper and lower income tended to be higher in # of pelts collected. They also reported among those with higher # of notches on the belt (or lipstick case) were “more likely” to smoke and drink. A lot of drinking ties in with cancer too, so there’s that.

[Scrambler Bob]

Did they eat any carrots while growing up?

[Scrambler Bob]

What a completely worthless study.

Aren’t you chuckling a little at the comments?

[Scrambler Bob]

If this was true then queers would the most cancer ridden demographic in the world.

Maybe HIV gets them first.

[Scrambler Bob]

Smoking causes cancer. We know that.

Now we learn being a Ho does too?

What did Mae West say about smoking after sex?
