      Not really.

      Look up some STD transmission stats for retirement communities. It’s a real issue.

        The real issue is the absolutely pathetic state of sex ed in the US. A lot of these people probably grew up thinking that “safe sex” meant doing it when she isn’t ovulating and somehow never learned any better despite living through the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.

          Come on. People of nursing age have had a literal lifetime of new sex science. There really is no excuse except for an unwillingness to learn.

          There’s also that people that age don’t give a fuck anymore, they just fuck.

          Man, what’s heart breaking is congenital syphilis. A disease that’s passed to an infant at birth. In 2012, it was almost gone from the US.

          In 2021 it has surged by 201% nationally and quadruple digit percentage in some States.

          And given the antibiotic resistance that’s quickly building up, we may never be able to get rid of it now without some new advancement.

          And the vast majority of the surge has been due to people either not being able to have a prenatal screening or not wanting it.

          It is one of the most depressing defeats. Especially considering the damage the disease does to the child brain and heart. It’s just an unspeakable L humanity has had to take on this.

            I agree with you, but I don’t think you can blame congenital syphilis on nursing home residents unless it’s male residents banging female nurses young enough to be fertile.

              If this is happening, I am slightly less depressed about becoming old. Not the syphilis part - fyi, that is depressing.

      OP’s not wrong, though. Inmates of boomer gulags are old, not dead. They’re gonna fuck unless you keep 'em in solitary confinement 24/7.

          Nothing wrong with that. A lot of them have spent their entire adult lives working for the man. 40+ hours a week on the job from 18-65 isn’t a life; it’s a fucking life sentence.
