Rates of three STDs in US reach record high, CDC says
Rates of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia have climbed for the fourth consecutive year in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday at the National STD Prevention Conference in Washington. Last year, nearly 2.3 million US cases of these sexually transmitted diseases were diagnosed, according to preliminary data.
That's the highest number ever reported nationwide, breaking the record set in 2016 by more than 200,000 cases, according to the CDC.[...] In 2013, there were 1,752,285 total cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis diagnosed in the United States. That number grew to 1,811,850 in 2014; 1,945,746 in 2015; 2,094,682 in 2016; and 2,294,821 in 2017, according to the preliminary CDC data.
[...] The preliminary data suggest that more than 1.7 million cases of chlamydia were diagnosed in 2017, with about 45% -- 771,340 cases -- emerging among 15- to 24-year-old women and girls. Chlamydia, which remained the most common STD reported to the CDC, is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis and easily transmitted during any form of sexual activity. If not treated, chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which can cause permanent damage to the reproductive system. In men, the infection can spread to the tube that carries sperm from the testicles, causing pain and fever.

The MGTOWs are not interested in women.
The MGTOWs have decided that women are not necessary in their lives, period.
The Incels cannot get laid despite their desire to get laid. So the Incels might avail themselves of the services of a prostitute, but the MGTOWs will not.
Learn your nomenclature before posting any more inaccurate statements.

Poor MGTOWs. Most were burned by the witches with loose holes in the past.
Though I personally find most women so uninteresting that I could not understand talking to one for any reason, so they do have a point.

Good grief, thank you! One of the reasons I'm interested in MGTOW again is the incel thing. I am not attracted to women. Never have been, and I don't suspect I ever will be. Never had a problem getting sex, and I'm proud to say I don't have any STDs, not even GRID/AIDS. According to liberal assholes, that makes me an "incel."
No way in fuck I'm forking over half of my wealth to some diseased cow who shares none of my interests, even if liberals have decided to spell "faggot" i-n-c-e-l. I got used to being called "faggot" in middle school. Just a bit shocking that liberals think nobody will notice their obvious homophobia if they say "incel" instead of "faggot," when it's clear they mean "faggot."
