Older generation now at risk from STD’s





Ok I thought id make a post out of this because it is rather interesting don’t you think?

A recent increase in Sexually Transmitted Disease/Infection (STD/I) in senior citizens is thought to be because of an increase in the number of older people now using online dating websites.

Many of the older generation are now using dating websites than ever before. Why we ask its simple… to find love. The older generation are now entering relationships unaware of the consequences. Some of the blame is issued at the development of drugs to combat sexual dysfunction and a lack of education among the older generation.

It turns out that Back in the day when the older generation grew up STDS weren’t really an issue, and the worst that could happen was becoming pregnant. However because of their age pregnancy isn’t really a big deal as they are highly unlikely to get pregnant at their age, so therefore using protection isn’t a priority.

Increased use of online dating websites also means that rather than just sticking to one partner they are meeting more thus as in young people, causing an increase in STD’s with multiple partners.

Ok so now we now it’s not only the younger generation catching STD’s it’s the older generation. (I say this because us young people are always being lectured on STD’s when in fact the older generation should be lectured as well)
