Gonorrhea Is Becoming Untreatable, U.N. Health Officials Warn

No, thank you.

That is not a novel thought. It is as old as religion.

Abstinence based sex education has been shown to be ineffective, leading to greater pregnancy and STI transmission. Evidence says your idea won't help. And, well, it's also boring. I'll take my chances with responsible non-monogamy.

Go for it, man. Do whatever you want. I respect a person's right to believe anything they want, all I ask is they respect my right to believe whatever I want.

I did both. Have a look at other responses I gave in this thread. As far as AbEd education, who cares. I never listened to that stuff back in the 80's, and now we have the Internet, so we've got all the information.

We're talking about a looming public health crisis; your and my personal choices aren't particularly relevant to that. Evidence says telling people to be monogamous to avoid STIs does not work.

Nonsense. Public health is the cumulative sum of all our personal choices. This is especially true with STI's.
