In a bit of a squick moment... it appears the older generation is not practicing safe sex (http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/02/sexual-activity-and-std-rate-up-among-seniors/?hpt=he_c2).
New research published Thursday by the British Medical Journal shows that 80% of 50 to 90 years olds are sexually active. And with that, cases of sexually transmitted diseases have more than doubled in this age group over the past 10 years.
“You never have to retire from sex,†says clinical psychologist Judy Kuriansky. “But you should always behave as the 20-30 year-olds do. You need to be cautious about it.â€Â
Numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that incidences of syphilis and chlamydia in adults aged 45 to 64 have nearly tripled over the past decade. Cases of Gonorrhea are up as well.
condoms are good. Having to learn this is bad.
