Sex Parties Lead to a Rise In STD's

WBAL TV 11 News did a report on sex parties and it's aid to the growing percentage of pregnant teens and higher risks of getting an STD. Females were questioned about these so called "Sex Parties." They basically proceeded to mention that the party took place on mattresses, several of them placed throughout a room. This brought across a great concern to Cindy Marucci-Bosley, the manager of the Carroll County Family Planning Clinic. She reportedly mentioned that women who would come into her clinic would often tell her that they have had over 30-40 sexual partners. It has been statistically proven that you have a one in four chance of contracting an STD. Therefore, if you have sex with four people, one of them could possibly have an STD. Emergency contraceptives are on the rise every year, since more careless people are just hoping into bed with random strangers. Yes alcohol and drugs have something to do with this, but they choose to do the drugs and alcohol, they chose this lifestyle. This lifestyle is causing them to cause harm to their body. So if you ever get caught in this situation, you have to look at your positions. Is one night of partying and going out of control worth contracting an STD that you will have to deal with for the rest of your life, or are you going to be smart about controlling not only the substances you take in, but also the atmosphere and people you hang around with? Living with a disease or living clean what would you rather do? Would you even go to the steps of asking your partner to get an STD check before you slept with them or would you take that chance?

Anymore, it seems like people have no respect for their bodies. As the post says, people just randomly hop in bed with anyone. Yes drugs and alcohol sometimes have an affect on people's judgement; however, some are making these bad decisions when they are sober. With the chances of contracting an STD, you would think they would be more careful. I just don't understand why people don't respect or have pride in their bodies anymore than they do. You are just going to give your body up without thinking of the consequences? If so, you should really think about what you are doing.
