I am perplex. Where do these teens get all these diseases, if not from adults exploiting them?
THe way I see it nowadays is that teens and people in general do not tend to shop each other for sex given the legal and health threats around. Sex thus is mostly obtained through more or less extorted or coerced ways.
I think our situation in legal terms and violations is much much worse than the epidemic itself, which is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of abuses going on.
Apparently, oral sex is all the rage among some teenagers. They consider it a way to 'stay a virgin' while having their fun. Somehow all the vaunted 'sex education' they get isn't helping. They think they're 10' tall and bulletproof, so they'll never get any of those nasty STD's.
Just another legacy of x42.
