Why would a dating app be to blame?  I would think not using condoms would be where I would place the blame.

I thought these kids knew everything. Except how not to get diseases. If we could figure it out during Meese's America surely these dipshiats can be bothered to use their Hitchhiker's Guide to figure out what to do with their free condoms.

The kind of people who use hookup apps (let's be honest: They're not "dating" anyone) are the kind of people who don't practice safe sex.

Well, the people that actually have game to get laid, get laid often and transmit STD's.  The socially awkward that don't get laid stay STD free and get angry because, well, they don't get laid.

It's not about being in shape, or being "hot" or having a great body either. It's all about your words, how you talk, your attitude and how you connect with people in the real life.

With the availability of the internet now, anyone with half a brain should be able to learn a whole semesters worth of sex ed in an afternoon.

I haven't taken sex ed since 1999. I'll take a final exam right now. That class was a joke. Complete repeat of the sex ed class from 1994, no clue how they stretched it out for 4 months.

Honestly it's this, the rise in STDs is a mix of:

1) Older folks forgoing condoms because they can't get pregnant anymore
2) Young people don't have the fear of AIDS drilled into them as much as us 80s kids where, I know way too many dudes who get biatchy about using condoms
3) Opium crisis - sharing needles and engaging in risky behaviors to get their fix and eat

There's also people lying about their STD status. A woman of my acquaintance did not want condoms, and was offended when I asked when she had last been tested. So naturally I got chlamydia, and then again a few months later because she hadn't bothered to do the course of anti-biotics we were prescribed when we found out she'd given me chlamydia.

So you got an STD from having unprotected sex with a woman, but you had unprotected sex with her again?

Seriously? Wow.

Yep, or people who choose to remain ignorant (not get tested), or think a test from 2 years ago is somehow still valid, or they think their doctor's office did a full panel of tests vs a 'common' panel.

But dating apps? I doubt that's the only factor leading to rising rates. We live in a society where:
1 : its now more acceptable to have casual sex. The Stigma of promiscuity is not as bad as it once was.
2 :  people are exposed to more sexual themes at younger ages, and
3 : sex ed today is lacking, at least where I live now compared to when I had to take it as a child (back then, it was a 2-semester course, now? Maybe 2 weeks if that? No way it's as comprehensive or drills home the real risks).

And I still hear people saying stuff that is just plain ludicrous:
- "I only have sex if the sun is up. Sperm is up at night but sleeps during the day. You cant get a woman pregnant if you bang her while the sun is up"
- "He/she didn't look infected" or "Too hot to be infected"
- and people who think "Positive results" mean they are 'clean'.. No, Positive means the test for it FOUND IT. You DO have it.
- "You cant get that from having sex just once.."

In this day and age, if you aren't wrapping it at the very least, you are gambling. Ideally, wrap and get test results with a partner for a potential exclusive long-term thing before any sex happens, and keep getting tested. Not because you don't trust them, but because some things may take a while to actually show up on a test.

I am socially awkward. Actually very socially awkward. Have all of ZERO fashion sense, overweight with a lazy eye, walk with a limp due to knee damage, and then some. But even then, I get laid from time to time.

My advice to those who are socially awkward: Toastmasters.
Seriously. Look into it. Learn to build confidence, change how you talk and interact with people. Today, I not only have better experiences with women, but I also have a better life in general because of it. Work? Just got a promotion that came with a $12K/yr raise. New car? Talked them into selling a New 2020 model to me for $7K below the sticker price, and the best part? When I tried taking composition courses in the past, I failed horribly. This time around, I tested out by writing a composition the first day that used all the stuff Toastmasters taught me, and now I have not one, but two degrees that were waiting on that as the final credits to complete. Its well worth it.

A fun fact about sex, most people lie about how much they're having or not having.

 Another fun fact most people are willfully ignorant of is that diseases can be harbored in the mouth and throat., so kissing and oral are NOT safe.

Another fun fact most men here already know is that men are spectacularly careless of safety when they bang prostitutes, they demand activities that involve unsafe fluid exchange. Then they go home and bang their wives unprotected.

Medical community goes "durrrr, we don't know how this is happening!"

Well I just solved your mystery. You're welcome.

/the golden rule: if you're exchanging fluids, in any orifice, you're not having safe sex.

Oh, one more fun side-note: it is my qualified opinion that mutated STDs will be the pandemic that brings about your eventual extinction, because nobody is suddenly going to become conscientious about sexual safety. It will NEVER happen, because you all care more about your feelie-feels than staying healthy/alive. The instinct that caused you all to overbreed in the first place will be the same one that renders you extinct. Neat, huh? I give it about 15-20 years. Enjoy the time you have left, and make sure to have lots of validation-seeking sexysex whenever you can!

Being socially awkward is no barrier to sex because, fun fact, most people have no standards about who they'll screw; they only have standards for who they'll publicly admitthey screw. The people who think they "can't get laid" usually just mean they aren't getting laid by the 9s and 10s they mistakenly think they deserve. A person with realistic standards can get laid pretty much whenever they want. "Incels" of the 4chan variety just can't get laid because they're repulsive psychopaths, not because they're "awkward".

Its well worth it.


My version of Toastmasters was alcoholism.  I could talk to anyone if I got drunk enough.  Now at 51 years age and 4 years sober, I find I can still talk to anyone and actually do well.  The social anxiety still exists, coloring my social interaction choices, but I recognize and sometimes force myself to interact and am better for it.

Great example: I only got my amateur radio license a couple of years ago, though I've been interested since high school.  Why did I wait?  Procrastination, yeah that must be it.  But actually getting the license means going to a local ham club meeting (filled with established hobby "experts" and people I look up to but don't know and I know I'm great but they don't know that/me), taking an exam administered by club members, passing the test and then being expected to hang out with them forever.  Blah, blah...  Why is it harder to meet up for the first time with some of the only people who share some of my esoteric interests?

So I finally did that and of course it is great having these new friends.  Next meeting an old Elmer is going to bring his old radio "service monitor" device and I'll bring my Rohde & Schwarz signal generator and we'll all bring transceivers and have fun calibrating each others VCOs.

Anyway, maybe alcohol burned out part of my brain that held me back.  But more likely I've just learned through experience that what other people think about me spells neither the beginning nor end of the world.
