On average probably much better...for sure less “morbidity”, less sterility in the case of std.
Victorian England had a big problem with mostly untreatable syph. and gonorrhea..leading to stringent laws and a general sense that std’s were very harmful to their society. It has been estimated that 1 in 5 Londoners had had a bout with vs. Mercury was one of the cures. Not very good...
The saying was “One night with Venus, and a lifetime with mercury.” People still don’t learn, do they?
Vs...= VD...spell checker changed it one time, I corrected it...then it changed “vd” back to “vs” again. Truly an evil program.
