Well maybe you'll change your mind when you actually ...read the research it's produced.

Spare me, Obey. You

Spare me, Obey. You know full well I don't think the report was all that worthwhile so your glad agreement's out of place. All I agree with is that the report's not totally worthless -- and with the fact that, now that it's done, it probably can be put to use by public health officials. But please don't pretend you think I'm coming from the same place you are. I'm not and you know I'm not.

LOL!!! Count for what, Mr.

LOL!!! Count for what, Mr. Thinks-of-Elephants? Toward the survey? Nope. Count for your lifetime BA? Something else? Did you want a Boner Prize? None were offered. How about some pie? Were you hoping I/we would ask you which part provoked your...response? Not gonna.

LOL. Touché. Sorry if I offended you, Anna. Given your comment on the report, I was assuming you had been to the site Stardust linked to in the OP, and read the text found there. Glad we agree it's a worthwhile report, I seem to have misunderstood what you said. I'll try to state my views in a less lordly manner henceforth.

Thanks stardust. But I'm not

In reply to NSSHB is the National Survey

Thanks stardust. But I'm not the one attaching importance to the statistic. If Obey is, and is going to use figures to make an argument, he should link to them. Beyond that, I'd rather not spend anymore time on this non-issue that, for some reason, you and Obey seem hellbent on elevating to an issue of pressing significance.

I did and continue to have one simple point to make. Other than that, I didn't much care for Obey's highhandedness and sleight of hand games. But now you've responded as his champion and interlocuter so there's an end of that too. So, ta. Enjoy your thread.

NSSHB is the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior; JSM is the Journal of Sexual Medicine, which journal published the report. If you click on the link that says in red 'a new repoDownloart was published', it takes you to the report's site, then you can click on a red button at the right that says 'Download Papers from the NSSHB'.

I confess Obey read more of it than I did. He can answer for his part, but for mine, I'd say that info on sexual practices can be used for prevention of disease, not just finding cures for disease, and when it's so, it's a very good use of money. If you think of the study as just a peek-a-boo show, then I could see your point better.

Speaking of attitude, if your intention wasn't to put me in my place from on high, then please do enlighten me as to what your comment was meant to do.

I make a simple point that there are other health issues I think might be more worth the corporate money C&D threw into this study, and you come in to proclaim as if by lordly fiat, "you are wrong." Nothing could be more important. Now you come in with stuff and nonsense about the self-evident importance of healthy sex-lives, as if I'm against healthy sex-lives in some way.

Make your points however you like, Obey. And play pot calls the kettle black however you like. I remain unconvinced that the C&D study is monumental in its importance.

And it seems to me, if getting to the bottom of those "sexually related" conditions that are eating up 30% of our healthcare dollars is what makes Church & Dwight's study so vital to our well-being, and to you, a far simpler way to get to the bottom of our ills would have been to break that 30% of healthcare dollars down into the conditions that money is actually being used to treat. It seems to me that knowing how much of the 30% went into treating sexually transmitted disease, and how much into treating erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction, or into the treatment of infertility and sex hormone deficiency -- not to mention into the costs of contraception -- would possibly be even more useful to public health professionals than the stats on how many adolescents are getting head in their parents' SUVs.

But that's just me. And, for the record, it's not that I think the C&D study is worthless. It's fine. I'd simply be more impressed with their philanthropy if they'd thrown their money into medical research for some of our more serious diseases that are begging for cures. But again that's just me.

And would you mind providing a link to p. 248 of the JMY of the NXXXPPPQQQ or whatever the heck it was? I know the sound of all those letters is so terribly impressive, but a simple link that people like me could follow would, I think, be more useful. Thanks.
