Excuse me but did you fail Biology 101? Kissing Definitely Required but no DATY due STI?
Did you know that HPV- which is the most harmful STI because (1) it's symptomless and (2) it's generally the only STI that will kill you and not be treatable with ABs because it leads to cancer, and (3) you can get it from kissing just as easily as you can get it from BBBJ and DATY?

If you guys can't post something about STIs that isn't totally moronic and not based on any science, please refrain from posting it.
Chlamydia is the most common STI and it is easily cured with a short course of Zithromax. It's bacterial, and any bacterial STI is potentially cured by antibiotics.
While it's true that 80% of us may have some form of HPV, it's delusional to think you can safely kiss escorts and refrain from DATY and never get it, if you are in the 20% that do not have it.
HPV is responsible for 70% of all oropharyngeal cancers. I saw my coworker die from it, very, very horribly. He went through 3 different wives and there were many girlfriends between his marriages. Lots of women in his life. Whether he got the cancer from kissing or DATY we will never know, but he did get throat cancer that was caused by HPV. His initial treatment at Sloan Kettering nearly killed him, but after a few months he was pronounced cancer free. He worked another 1.5 to 2 years before it came back. When the cancer came back, it came back very aggressive and was completely resistant to treatment. It quickly metastasized to his lungs.
I saw him in the hospital 24 hours before he passed, after getting word from his family that the end was near. He was being given morphine for his pain and something else for anxiety, but what was most horrible was I could tell he could not breathe. He was taking rapid breaths like he was struggling for air. Clearly he was slowly choking to death. As I neared his bed he looked in my eyes and tried to speak. His lips moved but there was insufficient air capacity to get any words out. He tried a few more times to speak but when it became clear he couldn't blow out the air sufficient to vocalize words, he gave up. Instead, he just grabbed my hand. To this day, I can only speculate what he tried to say to me by way of his last words. I like to think it would have been something like, "hey man, we had a great run." And we did. We worked together for 20 years.
I never saw anyone die as horribly.
