More sex = safer sex

[Toaster]

What a load of shit.

Agreed, big pile of poo poo.

Do you think so? What about an analogy: Consider a minefield that you step into every time you have sex and every infected person is a mine. If more people are having sex that makes the minefield bigger, but with the same number of mines in it, therefore less chance of getting blown up....

Yes but it also means the overall number of people capable of setting off those mines increases... thereby giving any given mine the same chance of being set off... (assuming a number of variables like their rate of travcel, safe paths aren't learned and noted etc).

AND... when one of those people does set a mine off... they become a mine themselves... so eventually you end up with your larger minefield with the number of mines in it growing exponentially till saturation....

Still want to go for that walk?

Your analogy doesn't make sense to me - I don't know enough maths to comment on the numbers, but where aids is unchecked in places like Africa, how come the disease is on the increase rather than staying static or declining?

See above,.

We'd also need to take into account the children born with the disease...that's a whole new generation on mines right there...

Purely and simply, the only to calculate that one would be to enter all the possible on the subject into a super computer to get anywhere near having accurate statistics...

The lengths people go to have more sex. Why do you need an excuse?!!

It's not an "excuse" that I need these days, it's a kick-start to remember "why!" Bloody alzheimer's! :spudwhat: John

Can I ask the obvious?

What does an economist know about sex?

your just fucked if that number happens to be a %...

haha... a sex mine field...

Social experimentation to justify ones belief system is always flawed, though many will look at it from just the right angle and think that it will work.

GOOD point John..i think we only get allocated so many in a lifetime..and i used up my quota years ago..

Isn`t the basic flaw in the argument that Joan will go home with the second guy if the first guy doesn`t pick her up?
Also, won`t dirty dirty Maxwell pick up someone else?

Eh, the writer is just trying to provoke a reaction, right?

And the claimed lessening of the AIDS spread, is offset by a sharp rise in teen pregnancy, and also in STD's in general, across the age range?.

I must say, the logic is shaky at best.

Can I ask the obvious?

What does an economist know about sex?

An economist is almost certain to know more about sex than an accountant. This article makes a lot of sense and illustrates the futility of a the recent campaigns that have obviously been made (not created) by do-gooders with an accountant's rather than an economist's approach.

I am a Martin. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my services to a select few joans out there.....

Misinformation here - I always use condoms and they give good protection if fitted correctly. See here: http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/stats.cfm and there is plenty of other information about. Best protection for girls is to provide the condom and supervise the fitting - I prefer to fit it myself and then I am sure.

With experience the dangerous men are easy to pick. A couple of years pole and lap dancing taught me a lot.

your just fucked

Isn't that the aim of the game???
