DISEASED
YOUTH
The truth should be told. I was a diseased youth. Syphilis, chlamydia,
herpes- there was no sexually transmitted disease to which I was
immune. I've had them all. If penicillin was addictive, I would
have been in rehab for most of the 1970s.
I've had pills,
I've had ointments and I've had procedures which I would not wish
on my ex-wife. Even though she was the cause of most of my diseases.
And yet today, I stand before you with a clean bill of health
and a groin free of complication. You could eat your dinner off
my genital area.
This cannot be said of the youth of today. The National Audit
Office reports that 62% of under-18s are currently diseased. Such
a stark statistic bodes ill for the future of Britain. Unless
action is taken, our once great nation will become a cesspool
of genital warts, our children will become shame-faced and infertile
and an ageing population will be left to survey the wreckage of
the permissive society.
It is time for politicians and sexual health agencies of all
persuasions to come together. The flowering of youth must not
become a garden of gonorrhea.
