Notice that women bear 60% of the excess burden of death and disability, even when HIV in gay men is taken into account.

Cervical cancer (and Pap smears) is due to a Sexually Transmitted disease - it could be said that it is an STD.

Safe sex is one partner in a mutually monogamous relationship - and, ideally for avoiding the Human Papilloma Virus that causes cervical cancer, there must be a couple of years between partners (in the hope of clearing the viral infection) or both partners would be virgins. The old fashioned way is healthier - surprise!

There has also been a recent article released that shows evidence that women who have subsequent children by the same man are less likely to have complications and have healthier children.

One organization, the Medical Institute for Sexual Health, urges sexually active young people who are not virgins to decide to take on "secondary virginity." They should decide that for their future happyness and health they will abstain from sex from now until marriage. Makes sense in light of the health consequences.

But, I do wonder how long before SEICUS and Planned Parenthood notice this announcement and claim that it's due to the Bush administration's influence?

"The old fashioned way is healthier"...duh...

The exchange of bodily fluids always poses health risks. Indiscriminate sex is not good for health as well as for moral reasons.

Thank you for posting this, doc-I'm e-mailing a neighbor's son to FR to read it. He is a 17 year old high school senior who recently committed to "second virginity" when he became interested in a "good" girl in his church's youth group who intends to remain a virgin until marriage . He told me that he had decided to be more attentive to God's word, and that he was not going to have sex with any more girls until he met the "right" one and got married. He is going into the Army right after graduation, so I hope he keeps his determination in this.

More proof that sex the way God designed it is the only way to go. Of course this article will be attacked and discredited by the Kinsey-brained left.

I'm 50 years old, never had a STD and have been married to the same woman, my first, for 30 years.
I must be some weird perv or something.
