Thirtysomethings having riskier sex than teens

Hah! And these are probably the adults that grumble on and on about how teenagers think they're invincible and don't take precautions...way to take your own advice.

Kudos on the Natalie Dee, Matt!

It's that abstinence-only education.

and so? they're probably married people. and besides, we need unprotected sex to create new babies, hello?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

This is true...that's probably why someone came up with the phrase "dirty 30" For some reason (from my experience, and friends I know) heads in their 30's can be quite naughty! ;)

that image is hilarious btw

Does this generation feel invincible or are they just sure that there's a cure around the corner for every nasty STD?

THANKYOU!

You mean being older doesn't make you immune to STD's?

Note to self:

Good excuse not to have "sexy time" with girls over 30.

Perhaps it is just wiser to choose one's partners with a bit more restraint and caution in the first place.

If you can't trust someone not to give you an STD, then you probably shouldn't be having sex with them anyway.

This actually makes NO sense to me....I'm in this age range, and I remember when AIDS was scaring the hell out of everyone, and the safe sex campaign. When did my generation get so stupid and complacent as to think it can't happen to them? And it's not just HIV, it's herpes, HPV - all kinds of nasty incurable stuff...Geez, people, it's physiology - not mind over matter here. If you sneeze around someone without covering your mouth, you could give them a cold, right? Yeah, take that anyway you want. Enough said. Let's be careful out there.

The media loves to pull out the teenage STI/ pregnancy tactic whenever they can [no pun intended], but it looks like they'll have to start doing the same for the 30-somethings.

How about this: we install condom vending machines on the streets in all cities/towns. One quarter = one condom = safe sex. Everyone wins, seriously how many people have found themselves in need and there wasn't anything around? well except the gas station....

Be careful. People like to have sex without a condom. But there's a problem there...there are some people that would purposely have sex without a condom and go to a site where they can get crabs and be vindictive enough to give themselves crabs just to give them to you.

Actually....a condom wouldn't protect you from that.

I laugh when people use sex to exact revenge...it's indulging people's urges....preying on them and using their wants against them. It's ingenious.

lol always wear you raincoat...

one problem, old married couples having sex!

It's all about the mid-life crisis, man. Havin' the kind of wild, crazy sex you didn't think to have when you were a teenager before you get old and have to have old people sex. I can see this happening.

Even more of a reason for OBAMA to include condoms in aids package

That's because once you turn 30 you become super sexy. Meaning you can have sex with anyone and suffer zero consequences. Everyone knows that. That's why they do it.

Really? Is this really factual information?

Wow...that is surprising and a tad puzzling.

That picture is going to keep my smiling all day. lol =D

Interesting.

P.S. Illustration A+

Kids are going to start teaching their parents about the birds and the bees.

I'm not in either of these age brackets, teen or 30-40 years old but, I would like to bring up the fact that teenagers don't want children say, as much as a 30-40 year old would. Maybe this has something to do with condom wearing, or lack of, as well?

All the more reason to be safer with your body and keep your sexual feelings in check...

This makes sense considering that teens these days have a lot more information than people who were teens 20 years ago about the risks as well as the frightening statistics related to disease and death from sexually transmitted diseases.

I think the 42+ bracket are using the lack of risk of pregnancy to push these numbers up. Plus it's probably less embarrassing heading to a VD clinic when you're older?Whatever, it's filthy: use protection!

Damnit Cougars! If you want our young men then at least keep them clean!

everyone just go buy condoms, it's a step in the right direction at least, not saying you'll even need them, just have em around i guess. . .

I saw an article that said that the Assisted Living and Nursing home set are having more VD than younger people as well.

I'm 34 and I've been getting the "but I told you I can't have kids?; I mean, you can wear a condom if you think YOU might have something" excuse for a few years now. Sorry, I test clean. I'm not wearing because of something I might have.

tut tut, you older generation are so irresponsible!

Awesome, in less than 6 months I will be a thirtysomething. Will I make a sweeping change?

Just when I thought I'd switch from college-girls to MILF's.. damn... can't avoid VD in any demographic anymore..
