They existed and using protection has always been important but HIV/AIDS radically changed the sexual environment.Not to play down the "old fashioned STDs" but HIV had an immense impact on how casual sex and dating game was played. Bringing DEATH into the equation. Pretty much guaranteed death in the early days. If you look at the rest of the post.... it surely indicates a healthy respect for disease prevention.Bliss yes but ignorant bliss- not a chance.

Buddy, STD's have been around long before "today". Herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and countless others that can lead to major health issues were plenty prevalent in '58, '68, '78, and '88. It was "uncomplicated" for you only because you existed in ignorant bliss.
