Viagra drives rise in senior STD's
I never would have pictured senior communities as dens of rampant sexual promiscuity but times change I guess. Seems everyone wants in on sexual transmitted diseases these days.
Doctors said sexually transmitted diseases among senior citizens are running rampant at a popular Central Florida retirement community, according to a Local 6 News report.I just can’t get over picturing a senior community where people run around humping each other indiscriminately like a bunch of dogs in heat, much less the need for a sex education workshop consisting of 80 years olds.A gynecologist at The Villages community near Orlando, Fla., said she treats more cases of herpes and the human papilloma virus in the retirement community than she did in the city of Miami.
"Yeah, they are very shocked (to hear the diagnosis)," gynecologist Dr. Colleen McQuade said. "I had a patient in her 80s."

I can only hope to be that active when I am 80.

One of the first blood tests run on anyone admitted on a psychiatric unit is for syphillis, as many older people are not demented because of Alzheimer's--it is tertiary (untreated and in the third phase) of syphillis!! More than you will ever know.
A lot of soldier boys brought home the "gift that keeps on giving" and women did not know the symptoms. And they also passed it on.
You are never too old!!!
