QC FYI: Boner Pills Will Give You STDs?

Why did Harvard University researchers find that men who take boner meds (like Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) are three times more likely to catch sexually transmitted diseases? Because apparently the old codgers with chemical erections feel so excited about having their boners back that they forget all about using condoms. That’s right… grandpa wants to slip you some raw skin:

“Younger people have more sex partners than older folks,” said Jena, a medical resident in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston… “But per sexual encounter, the actual safeness of the sex is probably lower among older folks in the sense that they don’t use condoms,” he said.

The researchers looked at medical insurance forms from one year after Viagra got released (1997) to today and found that men on boner meds also tended to get treated for STDs more often than men who don’t take them. Surprisingly, the article also said that people aged 40 to 49 account for the largest proportion of newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases.
Not only does that debunk the idea that younger people contract HIV moreso than any other age group, it also means that older men taking Viagra tend to think more with their dicks than their brains. We know that getting a chubby has gotta seem like Christmas after a very long, cold and flaccid winter, but that’s no reason to forget all about wrapping your presents (or something).
By all means, fuck each others wrinkled brains out, but slip on a sheepskin before you step into the dewey meadow, G’pa!
