Risky sexual behavior among Americans is putting the publics health at risk, according to a new CDC study.
Researchers found that the rates of early death and disability attributed to sexual behavior in the U.S. are triple those of any other industrialized country, and women bear the brunt of this public health burden.

They headline it like it is a shock....I guess it might be for those are involved in risky sex habits....it's like DUH!!!
"Researchers estimated that more than 2 million years of life were cut short due to premature death and loss of healthy life because of a disability attributable to sexual behavior."
That's okay, I only wanted to live to 1.5 million years anyway.
Speaking of cognitive dissonance, Newsmax's front page headlines, "King says democracy can't work in the Middle East."
Any conflict of interest here?
But not among homosexuals, right? It's just happening to the repressed, unenlightened, straight people, right? Everybody knows that AIDS and rising rates of STDs among gays and minorities is the fault of the current administration.
What about insurance companies....it is statistically proved that engaging in "risky" lifestyles (smoking, overweight, drugs,) drive up health costs....so companies are saying you smoke you have to go.....what about homosexuals that are involved in "risky lifestyles". Should the same be applied to them? It is proved that it costs more to cover domestic partners, yet county by county city by city they are offering these benefits. It is just wrong.
Wonder how many millions it too to fund this study of the obvious?
Risky sex is dangerous? I guess I need to dismantle the trapeze, then...
The loss of all freedom...and the death of nations...is the price of moral relativism.
This is the kind of 'liberty' promoted by the worshipers of the moon goddess Baal-Ishtar-Isis-Diana..."Lady Liberty"....some of the many aliases of the first rebel as he/she spread his/her religion of 'freedom' throughout the history of mankind...
imo
How many gay bath houses are in Oak Park?
Very sharp this morning!
I was just about the to make the same comment when I saw your post. So now, all I'll say is "Ditto".
I know both fairly well, but think that Hyde Park tops either one as a bastion of socialism.
I concur.
Very true. A few years ago the company I worked at switched insurance companies. We had to fill out some forms for health insurance and it asked about risky behavior outside the workplace. The insurance company considered 'small aircraft pilot' to be risky behavior. I, like you, wonder if homosexuality will now be put on those insurance lists. It should be (although I won't hold my breath waiting).
It looks like I am going to live for a very very long time.
That means that sexual behavior is responsible for about 1.25% of all deaths in the US every year. It's not even in the top ten causes of death.
