There’s a little-known sexually transmitted disease (STD) that’s on the rise – and could soon become a very big problem.
Sexual health experts warn that Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) has the potential to become a drug-resistant superbug within a matter of years.
Research by the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) found that over 70 percent of sexual health experts said that if current practices do not change, MG will become resistant to first and second line antibiotics within a decade. Left unchecked, they say this could result in thousands of women each year at increased risk of infertility from pelvic inflammatory disease caused by MG.
As a result of these daunting statistics, BASHH have just released draft guidelines to help the public and health services deal with this impending crisis.
“MG is rapidly becoming the new superbug: it’s increasingly resistant to most of the antibiotics we use to treat chlamydia and changes its pattern of resistance during treatment so it's like trying to hit a moving target,” Dr Peter Greenhouse, sexual health consultant from the UK, said in a statement.

Evolution's answer: small hands.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.

As somebody who has small hands, but a naturally larger-than-average cock, I invite those women to tell me that my small hands and large Tommy Gunn Penis Extender [amazon.com] are smallening their opinion of me.
I tell them, "bitch," if you don't like my paycheck-to-paycheck ways and microwave-oven dinners, you can hang with that bigger-dicked guy down the block who sees you but prefers women more younger and hotter than you are.

Typical eth-f dating pattern:
- old women
- microwaveable frozen dinner
- necessary use of sex-toys enhancers
- pittance money thrown in at paycheck time.
Highly likely: plenty of darn cheap booze all the time and delightful conversations on 'blame it on the Jews'/'dirty Mexicans' topics.
Me rekons that, indeed, the matter of EthF's small hands strongly pales in significance.
Which makes his post +Insightful even when -Offtopic.

You realize just cause your dick looks big in your Trump hands doesn't actually MAKE it big right? RIGHT??

Is that a sex toy or an industrial strength condom?
