We’ve all heard the spiel. Birth Control Pills and the HPV-preventing shot encourages promiscuity and makes women and girls into sex-craved sluts. Regardless of the fact that there is no evidence to support this thinly-veiled misogyny. ANti-choice activists use this reason to try and get these essential drugs restricted on the market, or even removed.
But then this popped up on my Google News page. Seems like men who take drugs for erectile dysfunction are two to three times more likely to contract an STD.
Will people be clamoring for Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis to be yanked from the shelves because it makes the men who take it into sex-craved horn-dogs? Anyone? Bueller? Didn’t think so.
