"Stealth" strains of gonorrhoea that fail to show up in tests are on the rise across the world, researchers have discovered, because the tests used by doctors to identify the bacteria look for an enzyme no longer present in those strains.

Given the sex crazed mentality of our planet, I am not surprised that STD's like gonorrhoea havent started to mutate sooner and become harder to detect.

You don't have to have a penis to be a horndog.

There is no "sex craze". Humans are sexually motivated animals. It's just a fact of life.

Agreed APC. Humans ARE sexually motivated animals, but dont you think that the internet has increased their sexual motivation at all?

And yes, if I didnt have a penis, I would still be a horndog...

If anything it has decreased it... excessive masturbation reduces testosterone.

If there even is anything to blame for this mutation, it is our enormous population.
