Guys, where can I find a SPECIFIC teardown of STD risks? I'm talking statistics, probabilities and consequences here.
I'm not the only one with this question, I spoke to quite a few members face-to-face who go raw in spite of better reasons not to.
This is as good as I've found, posted previously in this thread: https://markmanson.net/std-guide
That guide is based on the estimated partners til infection (PTI) IN THE UNITED STATES.
I talked to many Filipinos and a working class doctor who treats them and those conclusions are completely off, by maybe a magnitude of 5-10 for a place like the Philippines.
The whole TERMINOLOGY among the working class and lower middle class embodies COMPLETE DENIAL.
1) Gonorreah is typically called UTI with only some understanding the coding. So STDs as such are HARDLY EVER DISCUSSED, or Filipinos ignore it with giggles ...
(The average person has NEVER HEARD OF Chlamydia or Herpes. )
2)... And that doesn't make a lot of difference because NO ONE HAS ANY MONEY TO GO TO THE DOCTOR anyway ( until serious symptoms make borrowing money from relatives unavoidable) . The guy I went to charged 300 and that's a whole day's pay and many people don't have jobs, especially the hot 18-19 year olds busy fucking sexpats.
3) Even if the have the money to go to the doctor THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE CORRECT COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS because the antibiotics are about $1.50 per pill,SO....
4) They do THE WORST THING POSSIBLE and go on a short course of antibiotics....buyiNg maybe 2-3 days worth of pills...
5) ... thereby creating a designer environment for ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT GONORREAH.
6) THE NEW, IMPROVED RESISTANT STRAIN IS THEN SPREAD because of #1, creating AN ITERATIVE SYSTEM THAT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO CREATE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT STDS
"Somebody I know" spent over $125 on three courses of antibiotics before his gonorrhea cleared, that's three week's pay here and many families would starve if the reckless daughter (who may have been asymptomatic anyway) or son called on them for that treatment.
