Facebook Leads To Increase In STDs in Britain
ectotherm writes "According to Professor Peter Kelly, a director of Public Health in Great Britain: 'There has been a four-fold increase in the number of syphilis cases detected, with more young women being affected.' Why the increase? People meeting up for casual sex through Facebook. According to the article, 'Social networking sites are making it easier for people to meet up for casual sex. There is a rise in syphilis because people are having more sexual partners than 20 years ago and often do not use condoms.'"
Dammit so I didn't have to sign up for fuckbook?
I've obviously been looking at the wrong places on Facebook. Where's the "casual sex hookup" area?
Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
lolwut? facebook/myspace/craigslist/etc/etc/etc.
But hey, a lot of people are on facebook, let's blame it on that.
Vanessa Kensington: Mr. Powers, my job is to acclimatize you to the nineties. You know, a lot's changed since 1967.
Austin Powers: No doubt, love, but as long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as a pound!

You heard it here first, folks: Facebook users cannot figure out how to use condoms!
Ahh facebook? I think craigslist takes the blame here...

Hey, look, an interesting statistical effect. How to explain it? Rigorous analysis? Nah, let's just blame it on new technology, 'cuz that wasn't around before and now things are different - obviously, there's a meaningful correlation!

Hmmm... that's a pretty good shock-headline-mostly-unrelated-to-the-facts, but I bet I can do better.
"Levi Jeans are Murdering Texans"

Don't do cyber-sex without a cyber-condom.
Mixing cyber-sex with real-world sex requires additional special precautions.
Yes and if everyone used them we'd be wiped out as a species in one generation. =). No people = No AIDS
Pleading, desperate, begging, even grovelling sex, sure, that's pretty much my norm, but casual, no. My ex, I'm pretty sure she had a lot of casual sex, even disinterested sex, at least it seemed that way to me, but then I really didn't care. I was just so grateful just to be getting some.
ideopath @ play
I agree! That's why I always ask for the name before the fucking starts. I mean, what can you shout while screwing: "Oh, your cunt is so tight, stranger!"?
I believe the term is "beotch"
Is any of this happening in Farmville????
I'm not a human, but I play one on T.V.

This reminds me of my college days. When my father visited the campus, he'd look at all of the nice looking female students. (And by "look" I mean turn his head so quickly that I was afraid he'd get whiplash. No subtly!*) As each one passed, he'd tell me that I should walk up to her and ask her to sleep with me. My answer was if she said yes, then I definitely didn't want to sleep with her!
* Of course, this is the same guy who thought having "the talk" with me was "Hey, let's watch porn together!" There's just something Not-Right about watching porn with your dad!
