The Wages of Promiscuous Sex Is Death: Once more, the wisdom of the ancient world has been proven true

Once more, the wisdom of the ancient world has been proven true.

A new report by British researchers shows strong association between the number of one's lifetime sexual partners and one's risk of developing cancer and other serious diseases. According to a new report published in BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, women with 10 or more lifetime sexual partners were 91% more likely to develop cancer compared to those with zero to one partner, while men with that number of partners were 64% more likely to contract cancer.

The researchers based their work on the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, a detailed study of 5,722 men and women. Along with higher cancer rates, they found that women with high number (10 or more) of sexual partners were far more likely to suffer from a long-term debilitating illnesses.

The researchers and others in the field were quick to qualify their findings: doctors have known for a long time that certain STIs (sexually transmitted infections) can lead to particular forms of cancer. In addition, the study showed that those who have a higher number of lifetime sexual partners are also more likely to smoke and drink alcohol, so the higher number of partners may not be the actual cause of disease.

Nonetheless, the association of promiscuity and disease is overwhelming, and a greater number of sexual partners may be the direct cause of disease. Scientists just don't know. In the meantime, the study's co-author, Lee Smith, suggested that using condoms might "minimize the risk." But there is a better way: live a chaste and sensible life.

The question of chastity falls into what Plato would have called the Form of the Good or what, in less stilted terms, we might simply call "morality." The difference between right and wrong is not difficult to ascertain, nor was it ever meant to be.

I didn't see that thread from yesterday, thanks. Glad this one appeared though, because here's the idea that came to mind:

"The Wages of Promiscuous Sex Is Death"

Perhaps that's what Jesus wrote on the ground when asked what to do about the woman caught in adultery, in the very act. (John 8:1-12), because

>>> they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last...<<<

"Very dubious report."

Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Is that the real reason our boys are being forced to get a worthless shot? 3 strains supposed cancer about 8 STD’S.

Never mind the high ### OF deaths and dangerous side effects. My perfectly healthy 16 yr old granddaughter who has a stupid do no research mom, developed Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis? Boy had no reactions, both shots came from same bottle. For all 3 injections.
