STD's

[carebear]

How many strains do we have now. I think in the 50's there were only a handful then in the 70's there were something like 50. Now we have yet to count and find a cure for some. And they cause cancer now as well.


Here's my statment: You hand your child birthcontrol or condoms just in case they decide to have sex but would you hand your child a clean needle just in case they decide to shoot drugs? You do want to protect them from AIDS, right?

What's the difference?

[littlecat123]

Sex is a basic biological human need. (Virtually) everyone has sex. The number of teen pregnancies and abortions speaks for itself.

Giving your child the resources to protect themselves from disease and unwanted pregnancy is practical. Teens have sex. Ignoring that fact is not going to make the "problem" go away.

However, injecting drugs is not a basic human need. If your child is injecting drugs they need treatment and education -- not fresh needles.

[carebear]

What if your child comes home with aids from a first time sex experience due to a basic need?

[britjojo]

STDs have always existed, and HPV has always caused cancer. In fact the majority of cancers CAN be triggered by certain viruses.

All that has changed is that we now have the technology to screen for these diseases. AIDs is new yes, but there were always way more than 'a handful'.

As to avoiding the diseases I think that education is the most important thing there is.

I don't believe sex is a basic human need..I belive it is a basic human "desire." There's a huge difference between want and need. And not all teenagers are going to have sex. We talk openly and honestly about what could happen, and that if they are frustrated, there is always masturbation.

Sex for me?? I desire it and I need it...

[Aunt Bea]

Oh my gosh. I think those STD's are scary!!!! I am even afraid to go get female exams done.....cant you catch that stuff from the doctors' offices if somone unclean was in there before you???

Does having sex with yourself count as an avenue in getting an STD?

concerned about STD's

Hi Everyone,

I just signed up here and I look forward to this open and valuble information.

I am personally hoping for a nice Coach handbag for Christmas. My husband is kind of frugal and I don't know if he'll get it for me but compared to the money he spends on his ski boat he had better

Thnaks for letting me in !!

[Aunt Bea]

Oh I hear you. and I am new here too. my ex-husband spends alot of money on guitars!!!! I swear he loved them more than me!!!! and he ran off with some floosy he met playing in his bar band. so I know where your coming from with your hubby spending the money on his ski boat. is your boat one of those kind with the big metal thing on the top?

I think they call that a tower. No we have a ski boat with an engine cover in the middle of the boat that we have found uses for if you know what I mean. I think ours is a Mustercraft

I think my hubby is getting me one of those cool solar powered lawn mowers, I love to do yard work. One thing does concern though he is such a "green Guy" it makes him look feminine to me sometimes.

[Aunt Bea]

OH I could never go out in a ski boat. I would be too afraid of getting hit by one of those crazy jet boat things that look like a water motorcycle.

[WorkerBea]

OH I konw what happened to the days of just a row boat and your special fellow??

[Aunt Bea]

crazy jet boat things can hit row boats too! donchano!

[JiffyLube]

it's not as dangeous as you might think. My husband can ski 6 balls off at 22 feet or something like that. I don't know exactly.
he just looks so sexy skiing behind the boat. Often times I can't contain myself.

What's that dear he puts 6 balls in his mouth ??

[Aunt Bea]

this is sure an interesting site. I guess I got more than just info on purses.

[WorkerBea]

Well well that is the first intellegint thing I think I have ever heard your trailer park a$$ say

[Aunt Bea]

whats the difference where I live? there happen to be some very nice people in my trailer park!

There is one nice fella that likes to hunt deer and drink that strong drink called Yagermister. he needs a haircut, but he is a nice fella, with a nice family.

[Aunt Bea]

Is someone playing a trick on me again?? A freind of mine told me that some STD's could be transmitted by contact with peanut butter.....if an infected person used the same jar. ????

is this true or is someone taking advantage of my being naive at times??
