| Does this ever make you cringe?
Everytime I watch a movie/TV show that has people having casual sex the first thing I think is YIKES!! . . . that person could have an STD. Last night I was watching What About Brian and a married couple were each cheating on each other. No STD testing. Just jump into bed. Just once, I would love for the writers to show the possible consequences of having sex with an unknown partner and have the character learn a hard lesson. I may be feeling this way because in my case, the consequences were a lifelong lesson. Perhaps if I had instead caught a curable STD, this would not affect me the way it does. If movies didn't glorify casual sex and instead had some STD's written into the script, it might just cause some viewers to pause and give some thought before having casual sex. In my casual sex days, I never even thought about it. And STD testing .. . ?? I didn't even know it existed. Perhaps if I had seen all of this unfold in a TV show, I might have thought twice before having casual sex.
