freestyle Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 I heard this mentioned in an episode of "Numbers" last night-- That there's a new strain of gonorrhea that's resistant to most available drugs, and is on it's way to becoming a superbug. Essentially untreatable. So--I decided to look it up today, out of curiosity. Antibiotic Resistant Gonorrhea - STD information from CDC Untreatable Multi-Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea Sex Bug on the Way For anyone reading who may be considering cheating---please be fully informed of what you may be exposing your spouse, or partner to. Please--------- think before you act. 2
carhill Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks for that information. Given that the bacteria is easily transmitted via multiple methods of contact, penile-vaginal sex is only one area of risk. As DNA testing is increasingly speedy, accurate and cost-effective, one can effectively mitigate the risks, though this can be problematical with a non-monogamous partner. Historically, such arguments about other STD's, along with a choice to have sex within monogamous and exclusive relationships, were inhibitions for myself against engaging in PA's, even if an emotional involvement was evident and strong at the time. If I was unsure of the party's relationship status as being single, I abstained. 1
