Seniors: Disease Ridden

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

mccains.jpg

Hate picturing it, but what's wrong with the senior bump and grind?

The chance of picking up a sexually transmitted disease is what's wrong!!

According to a new report in Time magazine, the rates of STDs amongst seniors is on the rise.

Viagra and online dating are listed as reasons why there's a lot more sexy time going on for the old folks.

That's great and all, but researchers at England's West Midlands Health Protection Agency found that in less than a decade, STD rates had more than doubled among people ages 45 and older.

The author of the study, thinks that figure may be low, "These observations are based on a small proportion of people who actually attend clinics."

The doc went on to say that middle-aged and older people tend to delay visiting a doctor for treatment of an STD, or avoid it altogether, in large part due to the stigma associated with sexually transmitted infections.

STD's aren't ageists!

You may want to print the Time article out and give it to your grannies and grandpaps!

Wonder if the condom biz will come out with a senior line — ez to open rubbers for those arthritic hands?!

      Make fun of John McCain, but at least
      he can give a speech without a telepromptor
      in his ear feeding him every word so he does not
      stumble over every other word and make stupid
      mistakes and errors.
      .
      John McCain can make a speech using his brain
      and does not need every great speech pre- written
      for him by others and fed into his ear like some people
      running against him.

      people are staying healthy longer, living longer, therefore staying sexually active later in life. Therefore more stds. Nothing to actually be worried about.
      More scary is bloggers who put pics of Mccain in reference to non-related stories on the rise.

      it's disappointing that you used a picture of McCain and her daughter to illustrate this report. Even if you don't agree with him, at least respect him. He's a presidential candidate and a war hero. More than you will be or do in your entire f**** entire life.

      If you figure up all the days Barak Obama

      a higher office, those days total 154 days.
      .
      Who says you need experience to be President?
      A winning smile, good looks, a great speech writing team
      and a working telepromptor are more than enough to win.

      Why is Mccain's Picture up there??? Stop trying to push your political agenda with these piece of shit postings. Have RESPECT for someone who was a POW and fought for your country, or maybe you should go back to Cuba if you're that unapreciative, I'm sure you'd do great there being a Big Fat Fag!! Only an idiot would support Obomination…why don't you post more about how Obama wants to raise every tax and drag us even further in the dirt…or why he wont agree to do an open debate with Mccain without his precious teleprompter or prewritten speeches??

      Perez, I guess your republican readers haven't heard the gossip about McCain's potential herpes.

      Taken from Time.com:

      In recent years, McCain has had several skin cancers removed from his face and shoulders. But the report from a 1980 physical included a potentially embarrassing mention of what the doctor believed to be "herpetic lesions" on his genitals.

      I'll tell you what the point of having McCain's picture in this article is - it's because if his wife is the "trollop" that McCain says she is, poor John better do regular screenings. And if she is the "cunt" John calls her, then he should be doubly concerned… that vindictive cunt would purposely give hip the clap.

      Those of you so offended with Perez's use of McCain's picture need to take a step back and realize that this is a trashy gossip site - not CNN.com. Is the use of McCain's picture silly and childish? Of course - this is perezhilton.com, what do you expect? If you all are so politically conscious, maybe you need to spend less time on this site and more time with a reputable news source.

      Of al the reasons for the little known (outside of the UK anyway!) West Mids to end up on an American Blog and it has to be because of research into STD's in seniors LOL I love it! I think it's about time that people from the older generations get the sex ed they seemed to miss out on when they were younger and the era meant sex was never discussed!

      1. McCain is only 62 years of age which is not old. He was a P.O.W. Try reading his book and maybe you'll see why he looks the way he does. But your too ignorant to care because he is a republican not a democrat.
      2. Plain rude to use his picture.

      What the f–k does McCain have to do with STD being on the rise? Perez you are certainly "subtle" about where your political leanings are. Get a life.

    57. Lo says – reply to this


      57

      I took a class about marriage and family, and this topic came up. STD's among seniors are also rising due to the fact that when they were younger, abstinence was preached rather than using safe sex. The lack of knowledge about safe sex and condoms is partly due to the rise.

      On a side note, to those who are saying that McCain doesn't use a teleprompter and speaks from the head, it shows. News reports are saying that he has hired aides to help him with his speaking and delivery skills. Obama is a natural speaker and doesn't need people to help him. But if that's the reason why you're not voting for him, then you need to do more research. Stop relying on silly excuses as a crutch to say "I'm not voting for them" and learn the facts, then make your decision.

Like Bush, McCain often laughs at awkward moments.Yesterday he was giving a speach and he tried to crack a joke and started laughing with that crooked smile and baked bean teeth of his.The problem is, he was the only one laughing.The crowd stood silent,ouch!Sounds like another George Bush moment.Or ahhhhhh McCain moment.

      64

      So, it isn't that seniors are getting all the std's. what is happening is that the senior generation didn't have to worry about std's when they were younger, so less of them have them as adults. the numbers of seniors getting std's is "doubling" because it's going from nearly zero to say, 200, per year. the statistics seem mind boggling if you don't look at all the facts. seniors are not the problem in spreading std's, the youth of america is.

      I sure hope that you don't vote… get your head out of your ass. McCain was born in 1936. He'll be 72 next month.

      Nineteen hundred and THIRTY SIX.

      That was the year the Olympics were held in Nazi Germany.

      That was one year before Amelia Earhart disappeared.

      That was two years before "War of the Worlds" was broadcasted on the radio and caused panic.

He doesn't care how many people disagree with him right now. Obama says what people want to hear today, tomorrow he'll flip depending upon who he's talking to.

      UMMMM. First of all..putting I'm old on McCain's head is not the same as putting I'm black on Obamas head. Putting I'm WHITE on McCain's head would be the same- for the moron who posted that.
      Second, its a flipping joke. McCain IS old you know. Theres nothing wrong with that, necessarily. He just has a bigger risk of shattering a hip and being even less coherent then President Bush.
