Dr. Jim's WebLog

Just ran across a report from a physician who specializes in sexually transmitted diseases, and it is alarming. I'm going to see him speak Thursday this week and will pass on more (guess that isn't the best way to phrase it!) later. In the meantime, seriously consider whether sex outside of marriage is in your best interests. He (Dr. McIlhaney) says his saddest encounters as an OB-GYN were with married women, made infertile by STD's caught in their younger days. I remember from my schooling watching a young lady crying on the phone as she spoke with her fertility doctor. And that's not even mentioning the fatal STD's like HIV, Herpes (for your baby), undiagnosed syphilis, cervical cancer, etc. Condoms help some, but only some; sex is still like Russian Roulette, using a condom just takes a few more of the bullets out.
