Gonorrhea that can't be cured-- blowjobs are no longer safe

[Stella_Omega]

FUUUUUUCK! Guys, -- and women too-- please read and take care of yourselves accordingly.

Sex and the Superbug
The rise of drug-resistant gonorrhea


And start lobbying the drug companies to get back to work on antibiotics, which are very expensive to develop and don't bring in huge profits so they ignore them in favor of popular drugs, like Viagra.

Another reason to be monogamous, i would say

I don't expect that I'll stop sucking cock altogether, but I will be more cautious and circumspect in my choice of men that I give blowjobs. Thanks Stella.

 

[Stella_Omega]

believe me when I say that I am very sad and unhappy about this. Suppose someday I find a cock I NEED to suck-- after all this time?

 

[Etoile]

Sigh, read this just after a thread where a guy sucking cock for the first time said he swallowed the guy's whole load.

Scary! Also scary that this is the first I've heard of this.
I do know about HPV causing throat cancer.

Did anyone have a "hmmmm" at the part of the article where it says that the wives of the men affected by the Japanese prostitute, did not contract the strain, and that they may aid in developing the antibiotic? Or maaaaaybe they don't give head like the hooker did?

Timely article too. I've been suffering Worse than normal
insomnia lately and out of curiousity, read Craigslist personals, a couple nights ago. OMG there are a lot of horny, lonely, crazy, cheating, and unsafe people out there. A lot!

Start lobbing the drug companies.... right. Read the new FDA rules regarding Evil Big Pharma.

Disease resistant clap is bad enough but you can avoid it with some sensible precautions. Disease resistant TB scares the crap out of me because you can't. The investment in antibiotic research took a huge dip some years ago because there was no profit in it, due in part to directives from the WHO. The whole development has about 10 years worth of catching up to do, but investment still isn't going in. This a public health issue that needs governments to push - the drug companies have no social conscience - a resistance to sympathy they developed years ago.

Profits are next to godliness.
And it's better to let people die than be tainted with socialism.

But back to the topic, guys-- you CAN'T avoid this disease if you don't TAKE the precautions.

It's the fucking liability! reign in all these ambulence chasers and maybe industry will take up the task. All the expensive hoops you go through and all the testing and reistering blah blah blah only to get seud It's not worth it.

DAMN. I'm ordering an Orgasmatron and say to hell with human contact

Thanks for the heads up Stella.

Well, oral sex -- whether fellatio or cunnilingus -- has never been completely safe. It's just a lot safer than vaginal or anal sex, and is often described as a form of safer sex. Because oral sex is not completely safe, some people always perform it with a condom or dental dam, if the sex is not with a partner they know is STD/STI-free.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I do know guys who have been able to eroticise latex-- the smell from the condoms.

But damn.

Plenty of monogamous people get STIs. Sometimes even from monogamous partners.
