The High Price of “Free Sex”

Many of the clients who call or come in to Life Centers do so because they have realized they may be facing paying a far higher price for so-called “free sex” then they expected.  That price may be a pregnancy they feel unprepared to handle, emotional damage resulting from feeling used rather than loved, physical problems from birth control or STIs, or post-abortion trauma leading to depression or addictive behaviors.  Now, doctors are warning that the price of “free” sexual activity may include your life as a new strain of gonorrhea is rapidly on the rise.

The antibiotic-resistant form of gonorrhea, HO41, reportedly found only 2 years ago in Japan, may be much worse than AIDS because the bacteria is much more aggressive and will affect more people quickly.  Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put a person into septic shock causing death within several days.  William Smith, Director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, said that this is an emergency situation.  “As time moves on, it’s getting more hazardous.”  Smith is urging Congress to allocate additional funding of $54 million for research to try to develop treatments and conduct a public awareness campaign.  However, doctors say that once again, the true avoidance of this disease would be to practice sex in the context of a pure, monogamous relationship with a person of the opposite sex, the original design of marriage.  Perhaps the priceless gift of sexuality saved for and exclusively given to a lifetime mate is actually the only truly free sex after all.
