Thought of the day: No glove/no love!
After watching a program the other night about STD's, I was blown away at the fact that AIDS and herpes is on the rise in the 55-75 year old demographic. With all the information overload today, one would think that people are more aware, yet sex is still a taboo topic for many. Isn't it amazing that 2 adults will lie naked, share intimacy physically, or even share a toothbrush but not talk freely about sex!
Simply stated, if you're about to have sexual relations with anyone new the "sex talk" is a must! Don't fall for the fact that they've only had 2 relationships, have a good job, they're attractive and charming, as it takes one unprotected encounter to change your life!
The program had a woman in her late 60's giving a seminar in Florida to the residences on how to use condoms, the how to's on safe sex and not to simply trust someone because they look "clean/professional and honest".
Years ago, it seemed that we all became aware that there's no face to AIDS, as it can strike anyone, even if you've only had unprotected sex once! Somehow that knowledge has faded for many. Same thing for herpes. Although not deadly, it is contagious, stays with you for life and once again whether there's an outbreak or not, protection is necessary.
What many people don't know is that a cold sore on your mouth is contagious. If not careful this can be transmitted easily and become Herpes Simplex 2. So if you have a cold sore or see one on the other person, before desire and lust takes over and a kiss commences, know that any other type of oral pleasure cannot take place!
So, today it seems there has to be a whole new education performed on a generation who's living longer, knows the benefits of Viagra/Cialis and are single again after divorce or death of a spouse.
It struck me as very sad and very scary that this is occurring as in that age group when they were single the only fear they had was getting someone pregnant. Now with Viagra a man of 67 thinks he's Casanova again, women have gone through menopause and presume they're safe....and the simple fact is not being informed can make the "golden years" oh not so golden.
Whatever your age, be safe, think of your health and safety first. Have the "sex talk" be responsible, don't let desire, loneliness, escape or that extra Vodka Cranberry cloud your judgment.....If 2 adults are getting together sexually it's the most important 10 minute conversation of your life. Remember it's not the amount of lovers you've had, it's if you've had safe sex. "No glove, no love" it's a must that can save your life!
