Random thoughts on living As Taken from SP News with Personal commentary in Bold A Study done in England Sexually transmitted health risks on the rise in over 45’s Herpes was the next most common, with one-in-five diagnoses. Men and women aged 55 to 59 were most likely to have an STI compared, with men more highly represented than women. The overall rate of infections more than doubled over the eight-year period from 16.7 per 100,000 population to 36.3 per 100,0000. This meant a significantly higher increase for the older compared with younger patients. No condoms Although this is not the only means of spreading sexually transmitted viruses or disease it does certainly help. In this age group, our age group there is more open sexual relationships, alternative lifestyle and use of or paid lovers by both men and women although still higher use by men. Those most likely to engage in sexual acts without protection of any kind fall in the 40+ and 50+ age groups. Although in most cases if it is a one night stand there is a higher likelihood that a condom will be used if it is with trusted lovers, intimate friends within the lifestyle bareback or free style or wet love practices are much more common in this age group and over because of the likelihood that the woman and man are both sterile by choice or that the woman is past menopause and no longer fears pregnancy as a result of sexual pleasure. It is more important that in this age group….group fidelity is practiced. To protect one’s lovers from their one night stands more effort and responsibility must be taken. Dr Babtunde Olowokure, from the HPA's regional surveillance unit in Birmingham, said: "Sexual health strategies have rightly focused on the under-25s but our results indicate that sexual risk-taking behavior is not confined to young persons but is also an increasing trend in the over-45s. “Sex is not the preserve of the young and gonorrhea and syphilis are no respecters of age." It does appear that with in this age group the above listed STDs are increasing with in the age group HPV which is much more common is almost impossible to control and most likely goes totally unnoticed by all participating. Some form of herpes from mild (similar to cold sores) to extreme and genital warts are more common to be shared from one night lovers during the heat of the moment and then passed on to those whom you see the most. Lisa Power Terrence Higgins Trust "Older people are increasingly likely to be single or undergoing relationship changes and are less likely to consistently use condoms, perhaps because the risk of pregnancy no longer exists.” "Increased international travel, internet dating, new drugs to counter erectile dysfunction and overlapping sexual networks may also be factors." "Tragically, the sexual health of men and women of this age group is largely neglected and it’s something we are increasingly concerned about. "Services are geared towards young people, campaigns are targeted at the under 25's so over-45s think that sexual health has nothing to do with them and don't even know when they're taking risks." Lisa Power, of the HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "Sex is not the preserve of the young and gonorrhea and syphilis are no respecters of age. "People coming out of long-term relationships may be unaware of the risks of not using a condom.” The above is very true of those first entering the lifestyle and finding their way. Like dating if you know the person really well, develop a trust choices can be made. Then it is up to all involved to respect one another enough to keep their well being in mind when venturing out in new territory for some one time fun. "Rates of infections are far higher than 10 or 20 years ago, so remember to use condoms and get a check up if you are concerned." The government said using a condom was "relevant for anyone having unsafe sex...regardless of age". A Department for Health spokesman said: "Information about safer sex is available to everyone who needs it.” Sexes split over one night stands Men and women view one night stands differently Many women are left unhappy in the aftermath of casual sexual encounters, a survey has revealed. Just under half of women who answered the internet poll, published in the journal "Human Nature", said they felt it had been a bad idea. Four out of five men, in contrast, said they were happy with a brief fling. The academic leading the research said it showed that there was no evolutionary advantage for women in one night stands. Basic emotions guide us down pathways that have been advantageous for our ancestors Professor Anne Campbell Durham University. The survey was answered by 1,700 people who had all experienced this kind of relationship. While men reported feeling more content, sexually satisfied and confident after meaningless sex, women were more likely to worry about feeling used and "letting themselves down". Some of their reasons for the encounters were because they felt there was the possibility of a longer term relationship. Professor Anne Campbell, from Durham University, who carried out the research, said this was evolution at work. "In evolutionary terms women bear the brunt of parental care and it has been generally thought that it was to their advantage to choose their mate carefully and remain faithful to make sure that their mate had no reason to believe he was raising another man's . "Recently, biologists have suggested that females could benefit from mating with many men - it would increase the genetic diversity of their , and, if a high quality man would not stay with them forever, they might at least get his excellent genes for their ." However, she said that if women were designed by evolution for short-term relationships, they would enjoy them more, and the survey suggested this was not the case. "Basic emotions guide us down pathways that have been advantageous for our ancestors," said Professor Campbell. There is some validity to this limited research however it is very limited. The research was conducted in a controlled and limited environment with women and men having limited sexual experience…not experiences. I wonder how this would read if they tested say those over 35 who are active for one full year minimum in the lifestyle. It has always been thought that men in fact are the gender to have multiple sexual partners. Yes there is a need. A drive to “release”. It is a true and very physical need. Women on the other hand need to cultivate a desire. Particularly in women I believe this is much more emotional then physical at least at first. Once pleasurable sexual experiences are consistently happening and the woman can be emotionally relaxed as well as physically I think she craves the sexual contact, thrill, challenge as much as a male will. Just look around you in the lifestyle. But physically, and ability wise, women are the gender that can choose and accept multiple lovers. Give birth to multiple genetic thru multiple lovers. And our ancient history shows that this was practiced as a normal course of life up to the creation of monotheistic religious beliefs. It is the only way human life prospered, women mating with several different men during their life time. Many cultures had fertility practices/events/ceremonies that celebrated the acts. Again only up to the acceptance and practice of monotheistic religious beliefs. Sherper  |
