Cheap ‘Morning-After’ Pill Could Curb STD Surge

A cheap antibiotic could help slow the growing US epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases for gay men, researchers say. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is drafting recommendations to consume doxycycline—used to treat bacterial infections and prevent malaria—to stave off STDs. The CDC says the medication would be taken like a “morning-after” pill.

The study, published in New England Journal of Medicine, found that taking a 200-milligram pill of doxycycline within three days of unprotected sex reduced bacterial STIs by two-thirds every three months. The yearlong study followed 500 gay men, bisexual men and transgender women with prior STD infections. The CDC noted the medicine will not “be a magic bullet,” describing it instead as “another tool” in combating the gay STD epidemic.

Doctor Claims Cheap Airline Seats Lower Sex Drive

If you want to join the mile high club you better fly first class. A doctor warns the nearly 73% of American adults planning to travel this summer that flying too much with cheap tickets can ruin your sex drive. In a video, the Yale-graduate doctor explains the link between anxiety, claustrophobia and the lack of space and how this can deplete someone’s libido—especially if they’re sitting in cheap and cramped economy seats.

“It drives your flight-and-fight mechanism. So hormones that go up in the brain like norepinephrine and epinephrine will lower testosterone and that will immediately have an effect on libido and even sexual function,” she explained. Besides flying first class, she recommended taking precautions to sustain your health and sex drive as you get ready to fly this summer. She suggested making sure all your urgent tasks are completed—so you’re not stressing—and make sure you’re well-rested.
