We always thought our acquaintances and (former, of course) work colleagues that had friends with benefits were the luckiest people alive. They are also the stupidest. What, you didn’t think sleeping with more people — what researchers call “sexual involvement in nonromantic contexts” — would increase your chances of contracting a STD? Balls! [CNN]

Shakespeare didn’t lie:
“These violent delights have violent ends.”

I disagree. I have been slutting it about for 20 years, but because I am safe and sensible with how I go about it, I have never once had any sexually transmitted disease beyond a case of crabs which was traced to somebody else having an affair with a scrubber in my bed.

Some people slut around without being “safe” and fail to get STD’s. Unless you can point to an natural law, there is no guarantee that a past behavior will reproduce the same results in the future. Sure you can and will instinctively assume, but that fact doesn’t support those inclined to righteousness or the sky is falling dogma whenever the issue of sex arises, everyone (that includes the people of the CDC who dish out these reports) is theoretically at risk for STD’s, even the abstinent as they are vulnerable to the possibility of sexual assault. If you’ve been in sexual contact,and have never had diseases, it just shows you have been lucky to not contract anything or happened to pick partners that didn’t have a disease, which leads to the next point. STD’s are *passed* through sexual behaviors. None of the known ones ORIGINATE from any sexual act or lifestyle. If someone does not have a STD in the first place, no amount of sex, will lead to passing it on. This is like the most relevant truth in terms of the subject, yet rarely or never do you see the utmost emphasis being placed on proper testing for diseases. Why are sex acts and quantity of partners the primary targets of these “studies”? Some people are obese. But do you see people going on about how eating is “risky”?
