Are you tooled up for a date?

Dating has become much more liberal these days compared to lets say when are parents ‘courted’. We now don’t raise an eyebrow about sex on an early date, it is just part of the cause – call it free love or whatever you will, we are all doing it.

But beware, the rise of STDs. For instance, Syphalis has risen 2,054% from 1996 to 2005. A shocking statistic I’m sure you will agree. In the same vein Chlamydia has risen by 207% and all diagnoses are up 60%.

So what does this tell us? Basically that not enough of us are taking precautions. It’s easy for the mood to turn highly charged and sexual and therefore all precautions go out the window for the fear they will ‘kill the mood’.

Western governments are recognizing this alarming increase and are investing huge sums of cash into education and safer sex as it costs countries billions of pounds every year.

If you find yourself in this situation, you will be respected more if you suggest using a condom, and have the will power to say “NO” if neither of you have. Make sure you always hae one in your wallet or purse - no-one will think any less of you.

Be careful!
