I wonder what the impact of the Summer of Love was in the spread of herpes to virtually every living human. Herpes probably didn't even exist until those hippies got down and dirty that summer.
The amount of requests I get for bareback full service is disgusting at this point.
"Herpes has been known for at least 2,000 years. Emperor Tiberius is said to have banned kissing in Rome for a time due to so many people having cold sores. In the 16th-century Romeo and Juliet, blisters "o'er ladies' lips" are mentioned. In the 18th century, it was so common among prostitutes that it was called "a vocational disease of women".[87] The term 'herpes simplex' appeared in Richard Boulton's A System of Rational and Practical Chirurgery in 1713, where the terms 'herpes miliaris' and 'herpes exedens' also appeared. Herpes was not found to be a virus until the 1940s.[87]"

As someone who was a teen in the "free love" 70s I have to say it was a blast. Managed to get through it with no STD or other adverse effect. Unless you'd say having to adjust to less sex afterwards was an adverse effect (actually the more I think about it, it WAS an adverse effect). Everyone I knew was getting laid at the drop of a hat. Condoms were seldom seen so it was a bit miraculous that there weren't more issues among my crowd. I have a hard time thinking kids today are having more sex.
