Frisky 50-year-olds putting their sexual health at risk

Protection isn’t just about pregnancy prevention and sometimes I think middle-aged singles tend to forget that.

A recent study found that one in 10 sexually active over-50s did not use any form of contraception which would stop them catching sexually transmitted infections.

Herpes Singles

Have you ever been in a singles night club and taken a good look around at the number of people there and realize that 1 in every four people that are laughing and having a good time could very possibly be a member of the herpes single scene?

Herpes singles are making their way to social support groups all over the U.S.

For years, herpes singles found themselves in a virtual hiding for fear of transmitting the virus or facing possible rejection if they revealed their intimate secret to a potential partner. Fortunately over time, things have changed and the internet gave a new hope to herpes singles everywhere.

Herpes singles can be found in a number of places including dating sites tailored to meet the needs of those living with herpes and social support groups which are somewhat an extension of the well known Help groups that cater more to those seeking medical information and emotional support.

Social support groups are being founded to meet the needs of Herpes Singles by offering a social setting in which to fraternize with others who have the same affliction by don’t need quite the emotional and informational support that newly diagnosed people do.

Herpes singles have an abundance of options available today as opposed to even 10 years ago. There are better treatment options; there are scientifically supported ways to reduce the risk of transmission to a non-infected partner, which certainly is a great promise to herpes singles. And for those who would rather not ever have “that talk” - there are dating sites just for people with herpes and various other STD’s. The Herpes Dating site we recommend most is Positive Singles.

One product that herpes singles are choosing to help control their outbreaks and to increase the healing time of existing outbreaks is Dynamiclear. Dynamiclear is supported by real testimonials and a product guarantee.

Link To Human Herpes Susceptibility Found

There’s a high probability that people who are prone to herpes simplex virus (HSV) outbreaks can inherit that susceptibility through their genes, University of Utah researchers report in a new study.

It’s very exciting seeing so much headway being made in herpes research. With a greater idea of how herpes is contracted, there’s a much stronger possibility of finding an effective vaccination sooner.

À?

Friends with benefits

Only 33 per cent use condoms with friends

That friend with benefits could also be a friend with chlamydia. How sexy is that?

An Acadia University graduate student is researching FWB relationships, with an eye to finding out why friends who have sex aren’t likely to use condoms.

“Sexually transmitted infections - like chlamydia, AIDS, HIV - among adolescents and young adults, have rapidly increased over the past couple of years,” Heather Patterson said. “By understanding what goes on in the friends-with-benefits relationship, it would be possible to develop prevention programs specifically geared towards increasing consistent condom use.”

Perhaps it’s because people who view their sex partner as a friend first may think that a friend would tell them openly if there were anything to be concerned about.

What do you think?
