Study finds J’can men reporting high numbers of sexual partners over three-month period

Thank God mi single lol.

That study shows a real cultural and public health issue. Too many men are taking risks that can spread infections and break down families. It’s about responsibility. Education, self-control, and respect for self and partners need to be stronger values in the society if things are going to change.

These supposing surveys are confusing. Just a few weeks back, a survey was out saying that younger people were having less sex. Now, 60 per cent of males are apparently having multiple sex partners. Who are they having sex with. Is it that older men and women are just being wild?

This cold front better not last too long.

Reminder that men are frequently asymptomatic but they can pass bugs to women that can render you infertile with chronic pelvic pain. Don’t play about your health!

I wonder what the women are doing, just asking as a concerned citizen.

If they haven’t learned anything from the HIV epidemic, what will it take to make them learn that promiscuity can cause serious harm. Also look how many powerful people lost their lives and careers over sex. If they think it’s worth the risks, it’s their lives and God will judge them. Maybe a study on behaviours and sex addiction is needed at this time.

Yet another concerning findings. Please give them early education in sexuality and self respect and care for one’s life and well being.

Why don’t they do a study on what’s wrong with Jamaican men why they have issues with maintaining healthy relationships and being monogamous? What wrong with their upbringing? Are parents not exhibiting healthy happy relationships? Why do our daughters do well but our sons seem to be a sad mess in relationships? Why do some sons sprinkle children like peppercorn without emotional connection. Real talk. – MoBay Berry
