More cases of sexually transmitted diseases were reported last year than ever before, federal officials said Wednesday — just as state and local health departments that could help fight them lose funding.

More than 1.5 million people were reported with chlamydia, the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

More cases of sexually transmitted diseases were reported...

This does not, of itself, indicate that more cases were contracted.

That said, it ought to be obvious by now that promiscuous sexual activity spreads disease.

If you think it’s bad now wait until gonorrhea that’s resistant to everything starts to spread. It’ll be like the 19th century.

The takeaway:

just as state and local health departments that could help fight them lose funding.

MSM can always be counted on to support Dem demands for bigger government. No matter what the story is.

What is the source? Illegal immigration from nations with poorer health standards? Or an empowered homosexual community stepping up recruitment activity? Other? I have a hunch it's not the Amish ...

Cell phone apps like Tinder and the Millenial hookup culture. People today are sleeping with more sex partners than I could have ever conceived of when I was young.

This is all about the discovery of HPV which has been around since the dawn of time.

Oh, so it is more Gardisil propaganda, bought and paid for by Merck.

Article never once mentions HPV.

It does say, “The new numbers translate to a 19 percent increase in syphilis cases, a 13 percent rise in gonorrhea and a 6 percent increase in chlamydia, Mermin said.

While some of the new numbers may be due to better reporting of cases, most of the rise appears to be a real increase in new infections, he said”.

Do the thinly veiled adds for Gardasil on TV annoy anyone else? Two teenagers individually blaming their parents for contracting HPV, and subsequently cancer, because their parents were remiss in getting them vaccinated. Hey you dopey kids if YOU weren’t sleeping around you wouldn’t have gotten HPV. This generation is being programmed to take absolutely no responsibility for their actions.

I have seen those ads. They are perhaps the most revolting thing I have ever seen on television (which is really saying something).

If I knew who was responsible and where they were I’d hop in the car and go Buford Pusser on them.

They are disgusting ads. They remind of totalitarian governments sowing discord within families, wanting children to turn in their parents for crimes against the state.

Google PAVLIK MOROZOV. He was a manufactured hero in the Soviet Union.

Back in the 1950s STDs were almost a thing of the past due to antibiotics and morality. A skank from an East Oklahoma bar was probably “safe”. Some places were still “hot spots”.

Then came the 1960s Counter Culture sexual revolution(brought on by the Pill) and STDs took off like a rocket!

By 1978, everyone I knew who picked up a skank from an Oklahoma bar caught the clap or crabs. Everyone!

Then back in 1966-76, some of the military troops brought it “home” from SE Asia. By 1977, a particular tough to kill strain from Asia was found in Salt Lake City.
One airman unknowingly brought the “Clap” home and gave it to his wife. He then got cleaned of it with anti-boiotics, then his wife gave HIM back the Clap. He accused HER of sleeping around! It was a mess!

***A Night with Venus,***

Reminds me of four, hard to find together, water color paintings of a Cowboy’s life by Charlie Russell.

1. A cowboy and his horse-”JUST A LITTLE SUNSHINE”

2. A cowboy and horse in a rain storm-”JUST A LITTLE RAIN.”

3. A woman pulling off a cowboy’s boots as he hands her a dollar-”JUST A LITTLE PLEASURE”,

4. A cowboy jumping in pain as he rubs a painkiller on his private parts-”JUST A LITTLE PAIN.”
