25 years after the "sexual revolution", genital herpes medicine is now advertised on TV and in magazines because, apparently, the disease is now common enough to make promotion of a brand name medication feasible and financially worthwhile.

I just thought that was interesting.

For many years, I thought "sexual revolution" referred to the successful fight against the outmoded idea that women weren't supposed to enjoy sex. I think that idea was rooted in some men's insecurity. As founder of the Million Moan March, I'm on record as saying that men have a "husbandly duty" to satisfy their women, especially since sexual satisfaction is a given for men.

Yeah - I was grossed out by the ad last night.

When I was growing up, alleging herpes was: :war:.

I guess where I'm going with this is that the social activists went on and on about how women should be sexually free, monogamy is overrated, yadda yadda. And all we got out of it was more unplanned pregnancies and an epidemic of STDs. I don't think women are any happier or more fulfilled.

It's ironic that our culture promotes sex sex sex and our entertainment media makes it seem so glamorous and exciting - then they'll show a Valtrex commercial, which is decidedly unsexy. Kind of like showing a Viracept commercial right after a promo for "Brokeback Mountain".

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this "phenomenon".

not that i'm agreeing with you (lol heaven forbid)

What gets me is they want to ban/label/curtail Cigarrette, violent video game, and liquor/beer adds because they are afraid it will influence the Kids ("do it for the children") but will get all upset and their panties in a twist if you try to criticize the "Sexing Up" (as in being promiscous is ok, Gay/Lesbian couples, etc.) of Ad's Tv etc

See, that's the thing: they banned advertising alcohol and cigarettes because they say it encourages kids to drink and smoke, yet those exact same people say that sex on TV and in pop music has no effect on kids.

I do not understand this.

Except we didn't. The teenage pregnancy rate is lower today than in 1970. Here's some numbers from NCHS, pregnancy rates per 1000 women:

Year---<14----15->17
1973&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;64.9
1974&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;66.4
1975&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;68
1976&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;67.5
1977&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;69.5
1978&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;68.3
1979&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;70.4
1980&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;72.5
1981&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;71.5
1982&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;71.7
1983&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;72
1984&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;70.2
1985&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;70.9
1986&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;69.6
1987&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;70.5
1988&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;73.5
1989&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;74.4
1990&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;74.2
1991&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;72.9
1992&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;70.3
1993&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;69.4
1994&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;67.7
1995&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;64.1
1996&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;60.4
1997&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;56.6
1998&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;53.9
1999&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;50.5
2000&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;48.2

Current unplanned teen pregnancy rates are near historic lows and abortion numbers hit an all time low in 2003.

STDs are a mixed bag

The number 1 infectious STD is Chlamydia
CDC said:
The national rate of reported chlamydia in 2004 was 319.6 cases per 100,000 population, an increase of 5.9 percent from 2003 (301.7). The increases in reported cases and rates likely reflect the continued expansion of screening efforts and increased use of more sensitive diagnostic tests, rather than an actual increase in new infections.

The gonorrhea rate is lower now than any point in history. Syphilis is on the rise recently, but it is still at 1/4 of 1980 rates.

Herpes HSV-2 is the big up and comer. 45 million people may have Herpes, and it is one of the few that are being transmitted more frequently.

That can't be possible because abortion wasn't readily available until the mid-70s.

Uh...why do you suppose that might be? Hint: think Roe v. Wade.

Your statistics are only from 1973 - the beginning of the sexual revolution. Try looking at stats from the 60s and 50s and you'll get a more accurate idea of what I'm talking about.
