STDs Running Rampant In Retirement Community
Sat May 27, 2:13 AM ET
Doctors said sexually transmitted diseases among senior citizens are running rampant at a popular Central Florida retirement community, according to a Local 6 News report.
A gynecologist at The Villages community near Orlando, Fla., said she treats more cases of herpes and the human papilloma virus in the retirement community than she did in the city of Miami.
"Yeah, they are very shocked (to hear the diagnosis)," gynecologist Dr. Colleen McQuade said. "I had a patient in her 80s."
"More and more senior citizens are ending up in the gynecologist office, and their diagnosis is a sexually transmitted disease," Local 6 reporter Vanessa Medina said.
Local 6 featured Louis Franklin, who used to date in the community at least three times a week.
"I have had a better dating life since I have been here than I have ever had," Franklin said. "I know there are things going around."
A doctor blamed Viagra, a lack of sex education and no risk for pregnancy for the spike in sexually transmitted diseases at The Villages.
"All I can repeat are the things I have heard which are things like, 'Should I bring the little blue pills over tonight?'" community singles group president Richard Matwyshen said.

It sounds like they have a lot of action down there. I know I could really enjoy myself in a community like that.
I wouldn't worry about STD's either. I always practice safe sex. I never go anywhere without my bottle of Lysol Disinfectant Spray.
Definitely old age has been redefined.
I could picture now teenagers being concerned that their grandparents are hanging out with the wrong crowd, or hangin' out at night getting "into trouble."
It looks like looks like those young people are going to have to have a "sex talk" with their grandparents and teach them about safe sex.
Republicans are going to have to teach those horny oldsters with the surging hormones about abstinence till death. Call the campaign: "Savin' it for St. Peter."
Now THAT'S funny! Somehow, I have a picture of Beavis telling Butt-head he met St. Peter...
Uh huh huh huh huh huh huh huhuhuhuhuhuhuh.
who have had all their teeth pulled.
