22-year-old was living in West Hollywood, hoping to launch his acting career.
Los Angeles had a thriving a gay scene where King, for the first time, could embrace his sexuality freely. He frequented bathhouses and also met men in dance clubs and along the bustling sidewalks. There was lots of sex to be had.
Like a few years earlier, the doctor gave him a handful of antibiotics to take for a few days that would clear up the infection. It wasn't a big deal. In fact, as King describes it, it was "simply an errand to run."
...
When King picked up gonorrhea again in the 1990s, he was greatly relieved that treatment was now just one dose.
Penicillin was no longer effective, but ciprofloxacin was now the recommended treatment and it required only one dose. In King's eyes, getting gonorrhea was even less of a hassle.
But this was actually a symptom of treatment regimens starting to fail.
The bacteria Neisseria gonorrheae was on the way to developing resistance to nearly every drug ever used to treat it.

Easy enough to do apparently. One need only go to West Hollywood and join in the depravities.
The “gay” population has done a terrible disservice to everyone else.

How do you know if you have it? Having lived a boring life I've never had it.But I worked in a big city ER for years.The time spent there taught me that when you've got it,you know it (if you're a guy at least).

You do something radical like wait until you are married to have sex, marry someone who will be faithful and then you stay faithful.
Or at the least you could enter into relationships with some planning including both of you getting tested for any STD's and remaining monogamous until you decide to part.
You know, basic standards of civilized behavior.

So what is the prognosis for someone with untreatable gonorrhea?
Will it kill you? Fast or slow?
Seems like I recall that before penicillin was discovered, it was incurable, and led to insanity and death. Is that right?

The least politically correct graph in history, from the CDC. It shows cases of syphilis, not gonorrhea.
The Y axis shows actual cases of syphilis. That top "MSM" red line is entirely the product of the small percentage of men who are homosexuals/bisexuals.
