*contrary to popular misconception, the vast majority of STDs are either curable, usually asymptomatic, or very easily prevented with vaccination (HIV and to some extent herpes which is often asymptomatic are the only ones that don't fall into one of those categories)
And you think that is a good thing?! Wow. What are they teaching kids in sex ed these days. Asymptomatic STIs that can be treated are the worst because people don't know they have them. They pass them on to other people and then one day years down the road they can't get pregnant and wonder why. There are so many sad stories out there caused by asymptomatic STIs. Putting propaganda on the internet that asymptomatic is a nice feature is crazy. Seriously. Read the scientific literature.

Nice. I was wondering which @$$holes I had to thank for this...
Yeah. Just keep on ph-cking. Everything is gonna be peachy... until it isn't.
I don't have time to dump a medical library on you right now but sufficed to say everything else you said was equally absurd and in some cases even more dangerous.
To the other forum members please do not listen to a word this guy has to say on this topic. What he is saying is totally reckless and contrary to every piece of published scientific literature I've ever seen. Use common sense. Eating carrots, running, and having sex are all good things... in moderation. Wrap it up and try and minimize your number of sex partners.
So far you've proven that you don't know what the word asymptomatic means (hint: infertility is a symptom, therefore a STD which leads to infertility is by definition not asymptomatic) and that gonorrhea is becoming more resistant to antibiotics used to treat it (which bacteria have a tendency to do, because of this thing called natural selection).
Frankly though, I don't think "minimizing your number of sex partners" is going to be a problem for you or most of the people reading this.
No, you don't get it. Asymptomatic in the sense that the patient can't tell they have a disease can in many cases cause infertility. Don't you think that is dangerous? WTF is up with this acceptance of gonorrhea....doesn't make sense to me at all. While it may not kill you, it is a very serious disease and needs to be taken seriously.
