A member asked:
Sexually transmitted diseases. is that what we used to call vd? i still have sex but refuse to wear a condom. why bother at 80?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At 80.: If you've had one partner and at your age i wouldn't worry. However, if you are single and sexually active, a condom is more important to prevent disease acquistion than birth control, although that is an issue as well, if your partner(s) are pre-menopusal.
