>>I like the unsubtle implication that I don’t

The implications in a self-destructive hedonistic culture whose fitness is declining are self-evident.

Snapshot: STDs in the United States, 2015
Despite recent declines, 2015 was the second year in a row in which increases were seen in all three nationally
reported STDs. The approximately 1.5 million cases of chlamydia represent the highest number of annual cases
of any condition ever reported to CDC. Substantial increases were also seen among reported cases of gonorrhea
and syphilis. While young people and women are most severely affected by STDs, increasing rates among men
contributed to the overall increase in 2015 across all diseases.

LOL — I’ve said nothing at all about sleeping around in this thread, and even revealed my own abstinence, so why are you bringing STDs up with me?
