The 'Promiscuity Jab'?

Argh, argh, argh, must stop looking at the Daily Mail as it always makes me cross, but today they were banging on about the HPV Vaccination again and stated that 'some refer to it as the Promiscuity Jab'.

Some? Who? Only the Daily Mail as far as I know. Good God, how many people here were virgins on their wedding nights? How many people working for the Daily Mail were? Do they really think we shouldn't protect our daughters?

And I don't recall getting the Rubella jab at twelve and thinking 'oh that's alright then, I'll go and get pregnant now I'm not going to damage my baby.' Why would we assume that little girls will be thinking 'i'll just go have unprotected sex now that there's a lower risk of my developing cervical cancer.' As if!

Gaaah! I just wish the Daily Mail would stop living in a fantasy world where we all still think our little girls will be virgins on their wedding nights and their DH's too.

I had anabnormal smear when I was 18 (well below the mormal smear screening age these days) and went on to have laser treatment and follow up treatment - thankfully all is no OK. I now have a baby daughter and will quite happily pay for her to have private smears when she is older if she wants them (is this encouraging her to be sexually active - I doubt it) - I wouls also hope she has the jabs as I wouldn't want her to have to undergo the worry etc that I had at such an early age.
