Neither is "swinging" although it merely trickled down to other classes of people as mass affluence reached the west.

"Hooking up" is not something to be taken lightly. I am the farthest thing from a churchman, but the consequences of disease (you can still get HPV even with condoms) and unwanted pregnancy are not a laughing matter.

There are 70 different types of HPV some more serious than others - by age 50 nearly 80% of females have or will be infected by HPV. Men are carriers and are rarely affected by the virus (unless it is the strain the carries warts) - you can transmit HPV by less than sex which is why it is so prevalent. Being a female in my 20’s I can say that in a scary matter-of-fact way - almost 75% of my friends have had abnormal pap-schmears and have been diagnosed w/ having the virus.

I know just what you wanted on a Saturday afternoon - HPV stats haha :)
