Myth: You can tell who has an S T D
Now, that’s rich! As ridiculous as it may sound, many people believe you can tell if someone has an S T D simply by looking at them, says Robert Huizenga, MD, author of S*x, Lies & S T Ds.
The fact of the matter is that people with S T Ds, most often, don’t have outward symptoms, especially not in the early stages. With zero symptoms, they might not even know they have something, much less you.
The symptoms may appear later, not on your first date.
The best and healthiest approach when meeting someone new is for both of you to get medical screenings and be transparent with your partner, the doctor advises.

This next myth hasn’t aged well…..
Very interesting…. Another myth might be that the older you get, the less interested you are in intimacy. I met my second husband when I was 73 and he was 76. We married two years later after having an incredible intimate life together. He will be 81 in September and we are still going strong. What works for us is a mutual understanding and appreciation for taking our time with each other. Our “sessions” can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. We are the happiest we have ever been.
