STDs reach an all-time high in the US

[ishigo]

I read that STDs were rampant amongst americans so I did some research and look what I found.
See for yourselves the stark difference btw the US and Europe (!)


According to Gail Bolan, the director of the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention 3 factors are contributing to the record-high rates of reported STDs.
One being the rise in condom-less sex. Among communities of men who have sex with men, she says, condom use has been on the decline for several years.
Additionally, Bolan suggests a link between STD transmission and the risky sex acts often associated with opioid use and addiction.
Another reason STD rates are climbing is because funding cuts have been affecting public-health centers and STD-prevention and -treatment programs accross the United States. And insufficient access to sex education.

The executive director of the US National Coalition of STD Directors, David Harvey declare STDs in America a public health crisis.
While stigma might make some people not want to talk about STDs or seek medical assistance, 1,000 babies each year are born with congenital syphilis passed on from their mother.
Part of the issue is a lack of awareness among the general public. A transmissible STD doesn't always present symptoms. And a lack of symptoms means a carrier often feels no obligation to get checked out.


(In other words, never fuck someone from Columbia. You've been warned(!))

You mean D.C. aka the nation's capital (for Americans). Home of government.

Interesting.

I blame it on permissive culture. We have the same issue on brazil and hey, check out our brazilian syphilis prevention campaign:

By comparison, check out our 1988 AIDS campaign:

Noone has the BALLS to pull out this kind of stuff again

Uuuuuh.. that goes hand in hand with what I've seen in the states; loads and loads of filthy people, many homeless and so many left wingers saying "Perversion's great! Keep on screwing in the free world!" Yeah, doesnt look like its so great. Euw, euw, EUW.

Imo the biggest problem here is the youth whom are bombarded with high-voltage sexual imagery and content on a daily basis. They are only kids and their innocence can only protect them so much before an exploiter will find their way in.... weather thats some creep-a-zoid whom actually has contact with them or its faceless corporate decision makers and the "entertainers" whom serve them and their agenda, their aim is to crush the child's inherent morality and initiate them into the kind of lifestyle where these consequences are real and common.

Imo

You seem to have a double standard going on here.

 

[wanderingthinker]

All these celebrities promoting nudity doesnt help either

You know whats a good difference between US and European countries? Proper sex ed.

I feel there is a middle ground to be reached..... if we could just present the scientific information to the kids and a format that they could relate to, WITHOUT promoting our adult sexual agendas (on BOTH or ANY side of the issue)..... I feel it could go a long ways towards eradicating a bunch of potentially dangerous and/or harmful situations for the youth.

People can't seem to stop their adultery, or fornication or sexual fantasies. I sometimes have problems with sexual fantasies but actually having someone to do it with me? Nope, that is reserved for after marriage with love NOT lust. People just look at each other, think they're beautiful and then it happens, either that, or they just don't care, and p***philia is happening too. They promote sex a lot in movies and music, surprisingly it's more in movies.

You know, I always thought showing sex scenes in shows weren't necessary like why are you showing us someone between someone else's legs just having passionate sex for, that can ruin peoples minds. I mean what if someone is troubled and struggling with lust, looks at a show unprepared for the sex scene and then there it is? They should have never had a thing where they show that. Even if you are mature enough to watch it, it just isn't necessary period.

And since the media is such a big problem now and days, vanity plays a huge role with it. People taking selfies, wondering who's more beautiful than the other, looking at stuff with lust, and most conversations goes "Hey, do I look pretty?", "Yeah, but wear this and this"
Guys be like "Bro, your penis is so little," "Bruh, my penis is HUGE like girls would be surprised", "What about a guy bro?", "Oh, that's even more better bro," LIKE I JUST CAN'T WITH THIS WORLD PEOPLE ARE REALLY WONDERING TOO MUCH ABOUT SEX AND SIZES AND BEAUTY AND STUFF LIKE STOP.

I pretty much agree.... although I admit that being lustful towards ones wife seems like a way to stay married! Kind of like jealousy is a bad thing, unless we are jealous of the actions of the pious..... then we are being spurred on towards the right way.

What does nudity have to do with stds? The west thinks nudity= sex.
I'm not saying I want to see people walking down the street naked -bc I don't want to, just that nudity is not always sexual depending on the context. In art for exemple.

 

[wanderingthinker]

Hmmm geeee thats a hard one! Figure it out, doesnt involve rocket science to put two and two together @ishigo

 

[ishigo]

If your point is that they're promoting promiscuity and reckless behaviour then I get it. But I don't get how seeing Lena Dunham naked on HBO is the reason people don't know how to put on a condom sorry.

i see it from a different angle.
Look at it from this angle, all that promiscuity and sex positive attitudes, theres not much difference from europe, in fact europe is ways way more sexual and sex positive than america, people are open about their sexuality, even fetishes, with places like Germany having bdsm cruises that people go and watch the participants watch, Britian, apart from the few we dont care what you do, the only difference between america and europe, america treats sex like a taboo but still uses it to sell, creating this confused dynamic.

Americas issues are promiscuity or sex being to out there, its your education, you teach abstinence only, you dont teach about contraceptives or safe sex, you treat sex as something to be feared, something bad, sinful, you treat virginity like some badge of honor, teaching children that by having sex they are like used gum, dirty shoes or tape thats lost its stick, thats messed up.
You dont teach them how to use condoms safely, the different forms of contraceptive and what they protect from, like the pill stops pregnancy but not std's, how the condom can stop both, but non are 100% effective so take care, you dont teach that sexual urges are normal, that as a teen they will feel them more, that its ok not to be ready for sex but if they are to take precautions and get check ups, its all about abstinence and virginity.
yes no sex is 100% effective but its not realistic, all humans have urges, teach them safe sex, about their bodies, then you wont have all these issues.

take Britain.
In the final year of primary school, we are taught the basics, men have a penis, women have vaginas, soon you will grow hair, and girls will have periods, and boys will ejaculate.
when we move to secondary school, we are taught everything in more detail, girls have a class on periods, teaching them everything they need to know, mixed classes of boys and girls, are shown how to put on a condom, we have model penis's we put condoms on, we are shown how to do it properly, we are shown the different forms of birth control, how they work and what they do, we are given information on the family planning clinic, and how they can help, what to do if theres an accident, (plan b, abortions).
we are taught about healthy relationships, std's, they dispel all the myths, and teach us facts.
consequently we have lower, teen pregnancy, lower abortions (which are free), we have free condoms, free std testing, so if there is an accident its treated fast, and smear tests for women.
sex is not treated as a taboo, virginity is barely discussed and teens are more open and likely to ask for help if they are confused or worried, even more so in adults.


in europe people can walk around naked or wearing what they want, men women and children, places like Germany its completely normal to see nudity, in america you see bodies as sinful, telling girls that a bra strap is bad, showing her back is sinful and is unfair to boys, any skin is bad, girls lose there education because they are sent home to change. yet you have the same adverts as us of women in bras and pants, its confusing surely? am i meant to be body positive or treat my body like a dirty secret to cover up?
they are just bodies, stop treating them like something to be coverted, like property, like what s with this thing where girls pledge their virginity to their fathers, its nasty.

We have sex education but I agree nothing like what you are taught where it starts at a very young age. My kids were taught more than abstinence though..so you aren’t correct there. And I was surprised they also taught abstinence.

I think we Americans who have had a Christian outlook view modesty as a good thing which is why we are resistant to nudity in public. But like anywhere people like to challenge and change social norms to where modesty is outdated and stupid and freeing the nipple as no big deal and great. The more people stop identifying with Christianity the more they will see the new norm as good and correct. Which I think is how Europeans got to where they are now.

Europe had Christianity thousands of years before America, I have a cathedral 5 minutes from me thats over 900 years old, relatively young compared to other buildings.
What America is going through, Europe went though 600+years ago, an obsession with modesty and sin, an obsession with controlling people's thoughts, deedds and bodies, we grew out of it because it caused nothing but disease, death and torture, the obsession with modesty led to people not bathing, causing diseases like the plague, the obsession with sin and controlling people's thoughts and deeds led to executions, burning people at the stake and untold torture, we hit the enlightenment and with it science discovered and cured the ills of the past, we now know the body and sex is not a sin or taboo, modesty is a made up by religion and society.
We don't all walk the streets naked or nearly nude, by we don't treat the body as something to be shamed of, we teach children about their bodies so they don't become confused, we teach age appropriate sex education, we don't teach little children how to have sex but how the body will change, then as they get older we teach them how sex works and help them understand their emotions.
We then have less confused adults who still have sexual desires but don't feel shame and try and hide it, causing more damage to themselves and others
