yeah, well, they do get pretty desperate to pay off their student loans or acquire that down payment on condo #2:
"pardon me, can i have all your cash and credit cards?...sorry."
[runs off into the night til all you can see is "Abercrom" on a shirt]
ps as opposed to all the yuppies in dc clearing out neighborhoods and sending the original residents packing to god knows where. nigga pulease, the only difference is some trendy and corny thick rimmed skinny eyeglass frames and a few body piercings.

Seems like the syph would be one of the least likely bad things that could happen by going condom-free with a stranger.

Gonorrhea Rates Fall but Other STDs Rise
By MIKE STOBBE, Associated Press Writer
Tuesday, November 8, 2005
(11-08) 11:15 PST ATLANTA (AP) --
Gonorrhea has fallen to the lowest level on record in the United States, while the rates of other sexually transmitted diseases â?? syphilis and chlamydia â?? are on the rise, federal health officials said Tuesday.
The seemingly paradoxical findings can be explained by the cyclical nature of syphilis outbreaks and a rise in risky sexual behavior among gay men, researchers said.
The nation's gonorrhea rate fell to 113.5 cases per 100,000 people last year, the lowest level since the government started tracking cases in 1941, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At the same time, health official saw increases in syphilis, which is far more rare but has been increasing since 2000. The rate of reported early-stage syphilis was 2.7 cases per 100,000 in 2004, up 29 percent since 2000.
The chlamydia rate rose to 319.6 cases per 100,000 in 2004, up about 6 percent from the year before. But researchers said it is not clear whether the rise represents a real increase in the prevalence of the disease, or simply reflects better awareness and detection.
All three diseases are caused by sexually transmitted bacteria.
London researchers reported earlier this year that because of the life cycle of the syphilis bacteria, infections tend to peak at eight- to 11-year intervals. Sexual behavior affects the overall number of people infected, but regular ups and downs are intrinsic to the disease, the researchers said. Gonorrhea does not follow the same pattern, they said, and rates have been gradually falling since the 1980s.
Dr. Ronald Valdiserri, acting director of the CDC's National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention, said that may be part of the explanation for the rebound in syphilis, but a primary reason appears to be an increase in risky sexual behavior.
In 2004, about 64 percent of reported early-stage syphilis infections occurred among men who had sex with men, up from 5 percent in 1999, according to the CDC.
"It's very clear that for the last four years, when we've seen an increase it's primarily been in men and predominantly in men who have sex with men," Valdiserri said. "We know that's being fueled by increases in high-risk sexual behavior. We have good data to substantiate that."
CDC officials are hoping stronger efforts to educate gay men and others about syphilis will help arrest the infection trend, he said.
As for chlamydia, a urine screening test is becoming increasingly common, and health officials are working to make chlamydia screening routine in yearly gynecological exams for sexually active young adult women.
Chlamydia is the most common of the three diseases. A total of 930,000 cases were reported last year. But health officials believe as many as 2.8 million new cases may actually be occurring each year.
About 330,000 cases of gonorrhea â?? once known as "the clap" â?? were reported in 2004. The CDC said there may really be as many as 700,000 cases of that disease each year.
Syphilis, a potentially deadly disease that first shows up as genital sores, has become relatively rare in the United States, with about 8,000 cases reported in 2004. Detection is believed to be much better for that disease, and the total number of annual cases is probably no more than 10,000.
Infection rates for all three diseases vary from state to state and city to city. Rates generally are highest in the Southeast â?? Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina have the highest gonorrhea rates, while Mississippi, Alaska and Louisiana have the highest rates of chlamydia. Among cities, Detroit and St. Louis lead both categories.
The CDC does not count cases of herpes and human papilllomavirus, which are believed to be among the most common sexually transmitted diseases.

well, it would really depend on where you want to stay. any of the kimpton hotels would work, or there are various wyndhams/hilton/marriott's around town. there's also the mandarin oriental hotel, which is home to cityzen restaurant and thomas keller-trained chef eric ziebold.

Who you putting in a hotel and for how long?

As I said, the syph is the least of your worries, even though it's rates have risen. Particularly if you're only having heterosexual sex.

Wait until you find someone you love or feel the potential for love, and then have sex.

Yeah, my GF and I spent a long weekend there last year. It's a nice hotel and the art deco stuff wasn't overdone. The lounge is a bit overpriced but they have a complimentary champagne hour every evening around 5. I highly recommend it. The staff really go out of the way to make you feel like you're having an experience, rather than staying at a cookie cutter Hilton/Marriott/etc.
-
kimpton's are really nice about extras. the kimpton's in seattle and san francisco all have complimentary wine tastings each afternoon (the seattle hotels feature washington state wines, the s.f. hotels feature napa/sonoma wines), so i'm not surprised to hear that the d.c. ones have some sort of wine/champagne tastings.

Just make sure to wipe your lips before going to the show, though.

hotel helix is nice, but hotel george is better; the rouge is the worst of the lot. look into the melrose hotel. also, the wyndham, not the wyndham city center. then there's my personal choice, the sofitel, overlooking lafayette park. yum. and, of cource, the grand hyatt is wonderful. plus, both westins are ok. the mandarin o. is o.k., but so not worth paying that much. but god, cityzen is the best restaurant ever!!!!! you are treated like a king from start to finish in there. also, the river inn isn't bad.
stay away from any and every hilton; they ALL suck. if the room is under $100, run. the willard is the most overrated.
the hay adams is the best dc can over, but plan on hooking to pay for it.

You should only be having sex for reproduction, within the context of a church-sanctioned marriage. Then you wouldn't be having these problems.
