Syphilis cases have continued their alarming rise at a record-breaking pace in Tokyo, increasing more than 20 percent from the previous year.

A combination of dramatically lowered standards post-covid and an almost criminally negligent lack of safe sex education in schools at the High School level.

At least Syph can be treated. Gonorrhea is mutating into a multi-drug resistant strain and will become untreatable without new antibiotics.

You need to cover your wicket.

Ew

I thought Japanese put a premium on cleanliness not when it comes to contracting syphilis

Since Japanese advertisements love a good loudspeaker, maybe they should start playing Blackstreet's No Diggity on loop in and around the city - "No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up..."

Sex is down but Syphilis is up?

Thanks for the heads-up. Good thing I won't be going to Tokyo.
