Actually, monogamy works pretty well, too!
Promiscuity is not just morally wrong but deadly for mankind. These organisms always seem to find a host to harbor them then be transmitted. In other words free love ain’t free.
Unless the condoms were laced with the bacteria, this is BS.
Not necessarily. What is the manufacturing location of condoms these days? Are they made in China? Given all the quality problems with food, electronics and medicines coming from China, the chances that if a condom was made there and having a defect seems pretty high.
“Unless the condoms were laced with the bacteria, this is BS.”
It could be that the majority of those who did not report using condoms are in monogamous relationships, while the majority - or even a significant minority - of those that do use condoms are not in monogamous relationships. This would at least partially explain the phenomenon.
"The disease, Mycoplasma genitalium, was first identified back in the 1980s as the smallest known bacterium in existence. Now researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle found that 1.0 percent of the several thousand participants in their study were infected with M. genitalium, whereas gonorrhea was found in a comparaitively small 0.4 percent. Chlamydia infection rates were 4.2 percent.
The researchers also found that M. genitaliums prevalence of infection, according to the study abstract, is 11 times higher among respondents who reported living with a sexual partner" and "7 times higher among Blacks.
Notably, the study also found that infection rates were 4 times higher among those who used condoms during their last vaginal intercourse."
This also mentions that 1 in 4 now have STDs.
Does all this disease get passed on to babies as they are born?
I’m not sure about that. I would hope it doesn’t for the sake of the babies. I couldn’t find that out. Maybe someone here that knows more about medicine and science could answer that.
Yep. Folks who screw around a lot are probably more likely to contract diseases, with or without condoms. It just so happens that they are also more likely to use condoms.
But many married couples use condoms too.
Mycoplasma infections are linked to miscarriage.
