Death By Sexual Misadventure

[HagiaSophia]

The high toll of the sexual revolution on the lives of Americans was made apparent in a recently published study showing 1.3 percent of all American deaths to be caused by sexual behavior. The study, from the current edition of the medical journal Sexually Transmitted Infections , examined data from 1998 to determine the overall health burden caused by sexual activity in the US and found that women “bear a disproportionately high proportion” of the cost that comes with sexual liberation.

The study, authored by three researchers from the Centers for Disease Control, examined “adverse health outcomes” that result from sexual activity including both sexually transmitted diseases, viruses and infections, infertility and abortions. More men than women died in 1998 as a result of sexual behavior-- 19,634 men compared to 10,148 women. But almost all of the deaths in men were caused by HIV. “If HIV-related mortality were excluded, more than 80 percent of sexual behavior-related mortality would be among … women.” The study found that 5,914 women died of non-HIV related sexual behavior; for men the number was number 1,413.

"…Beyond deaths, the report also examines the overall health effects of sexual behavior. It found that in the course of one year, 7.5 percent of Americans suffered from almost 20 million incidences of negative health effects brought on by sexual behavior. Of such cases women suffered a disproportionate 62 percent including 2.5 million cases of gonorrhea and 2.6 million cases of trichomoniasis.

The study also calculated the Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) cost for illnesses brought on by sexual behavior. DALY is a number that combines into a single measurement the loss of healthy years of life that result from an illness with the years of life cut short by premature death due to an illness. Sexual behavior cost women 1,224,953 disability adjusted life years while men came in under one million.

The report did not buffer the bad news with hopeful predictions and called this a problem not likely to go away soon. “[G]iven the size and chronicity of HIV, HPV, and other hepatitis virus epidemics, the overall health burden related to sexual behavior is unlikely to decline rapidly in coming years.”.

And what the article doesn’t discuss is the disproportionately high rate of STDs among the homosexual population, including women. But that story is not likely to be widely told, as AIDS, HIV and STDs have become the protected diseases.

You think Congress would discuss this??

Check that…do you think a congressonal democrat will discuss this??

This has been my argument for years. Because we are dealing with so many anti-religionists and ultra-secularists in government, I have always said the best tack to take is to leave religious belief out of it, and FOCUS ON THE HEALTH HAZZARD of homosexuality.

Just like smoking, just like fast food, sex is percieved as a consumptive act (unfortunately. Because its supposed to be a giving act, but I digress). It is all about intake, or gettin’ something.

So just like the diet and health gurus tell what us what to eat, and what to AVOID, and WHY, we should urge lawmakers to hold commisions on the HEALTH HAZZARDS present when a reproductive organ and a digestive organ are…coupled, so to speak. This is what you’ll get.

This may just lead to more condom talk, etc. but LIKE ABORTION, getting medical doctors on record before congress (yeah the press would cover this??) is important. They need to in a CLINICAL (not religious) way explain why homosexual sex is DANGEROUS behavior.
