- There's so many scary things regarding sex.
I never wanna have sex ever again.
(bright jazz music)
- Today, we are gonna play
true or false: STD facts edition.
- I feel like my STD knowledge should
be good, because of how frequently I'm
Googling, but I feel like when it actually
comes down to it, I know nothing.
- I took a gender women's health class in college
so I feel like I've accrued some solid knowledge from there.
- I did superbly well in high school health class,
sex education.
- I'm a big WebMD fiend, so I'm always looking shit up.
- I pretty much was so scared of getting an STD
and then the whole blue waffle phase.
- I don't even know what that is.
- It's just one of these urban legends where someone
got all the STDs at once--
- Oh my god.
- And pretty much their genitals were just explo--
(bleep)
- I think we're -- I'm confident in our ability.
- I'm feeling pretty ready.
- You can contract an STD
through mutual masturbation.
I don't--
- That's true.
Lucifer's in this earth.
- But you're not touching one another.
Let's just go with that.
- No, mutual masturbation's when you're jacking
somebody off and somebody is jacking you off.
(laughs loudly)
- If my hands are there, and their hands are here,
and they're jiggling their hands, I'm jiggling my hands,
we're gonna get an STD?
- I don't think so.
- I do not think that's true. - I'm gonna say false.
- I say true. - I'm going false.
- So...
- True.
(drum roll) (ding)
- [Joyce and Ella] What? How?
- How?
- You can get it on your hands?
- I think it's probably rare, but I think
it's probably--
- Yeah.
It probably depends on how crazy your STD is.
- Everybody just gets into a very weird glove fetish.
- Kinky.
- Hepatitis contracted as an STD
is the number three cause of liver cancer.
I don't know that it can cause liver cancer though,
can it?
- I feel like everything can cause liver cancer.
- That's true, we're all getting cancer and
we're all getting Alzheimer's disease, at least.
- 'cause I think one is like if you do it through
intravenously, and then one is an STD.
This stuff I know because I've Googled this a lot.
- Well, this seems scary so I'm gonna say true.
- Are you gonna say false?
Okay, I'm gonna say true.
- True. - True.
(drum roll) (buzz)
- (Emily) The number one cause?
- That's terrifying. - I just got goosebumps.
Wear condoms...
at least.
- I guess a lot of stuff impacts your liver.
You gotta take care of that buddy down there.
- The majority of people with
genital herpes know they have the infection.
I think that that's absolutely false because
a lot of people go around with genital herpes
and don't know they have it, because they
don't necessarily have outbreaks.
- You can be asymptomatic, I think, with having herpes,
which is terrifying because you could be sleeping with
someone who's like, "hey I have herpes but I'm lucky,
"I don't have symptoms" and then you can still get it.
- Yeah.
- Let's go with-- - It's false.
- Oh. False.
- False. - False.
(drum roll) (buzz)
- Uh, that sucks.
- At the end of the day, things happen, but with
herpes, I believe you can live a normal--
- You can live a normal life, you just take medication.
- (Joyce) Around 40 million young Americans
have HPV right now.
- I think that's probably true.
- I think it's probably true as well.
- That sounds true to me.
- That sounds accurate.
- HPV is very common.
- And there's many strands of HPV.
- Yeah, so I'm gonna go with true.
- I'm gonna go with true.
- I'm gonna go with [together] true
- I have no idea about numbers though,
so I'm gonna say true because it seems
like a large amount and it could be valid.
- I'm gonna say true also.
But if it's false, I feel like it could be even higher.
(drum roll) (buzz)
- My caveat was right so...
- So it's basically almost double what this said
that seems logical, which is crazy.
- Just get your Pap smears, y'all.
And men, I don't know what you have to do.
There is a shot for men, actually, they just don't get it.
So please do that.
- Get the shot,
just (bleep) get it. - Just (bleep) do it.
- (Ella) Scabies, a parasitic infection caused by the
human itch mite, can be considered an STD in some cases
since it can be transferred via sexual activity.
- I believe - Yes, I believe that.
- If they're in your pubic region, they can get
to somebody else's pubic region if you're
putting them together, much like pubic lice.
- Can you consider that though an STD?
- It's sexually transmitted, because you had
sexual contact to transmit it.
- You catch the Flu from someone 'cause you
hook up with them, does that mean the Flu's
considered an STI? You know?
- I'm gonna say false. It doesn't feel right.
- False.
- True. But it's also because I used to always hear
about this on The Real World and stuff like that
and I -- - Scabies?
- Yeah, I felt like that was a thing I heard on --
- They had Scabies --
- I feel like I heard that on The Real World.
(drum roll) (ding)
- I just...
It feels like it's not sexual but I guess it is.
- (Daniella) Poor dental hygiene may affect your likelihood
of getting an STD from performing oral sex.
- I'm gonna go true.
There's so much bacteria in your (bleep) mouth.
- I'm just gonna go with true.
- I'll go with true 'cause if you've got a hole in
your tooth, then you've got a pool of gook-gook in there.
- Ew!
- I feel like that's not true.
I'm gonna go with false.
- If you already have a gross mouth, somebody's
got gross genitals down there, then like...
True. - True.
(drum roll) (ding)
- (Ella) Boom!
- Yup the gook-gook get everywhere baby.
- Oh my god!
- Just floss. - Wear a condom.
- It's really simple. - Brush your teeth.
- No, I think flossing is key there.
- Flossing is huge.
- Being uncircumcised may protect males somewhat
against some STDs, including HPV and herpes.
First of all, this is forcing me to have to think
too much about a dick right now.
I'm just like okay, what does it look like uncircumcised?
- I don't know about that.
Oh wait, wait! Maybe.
- 'Cause it goes in the little hood, or little jacket.
- But I had thought that it was easier to keep clean
without that extra skin.
- I hear that circumcision is all religious stuff,
it's aesthetic.
- I'm gonna say true then, I'm gonna say true.
- Let's go for true. - That feels right.
- I'm gonna go with false. - I'm also going with false.
(drum roll) (buzz)
- (Rachel) What? What? Wait!
- I believe that. - How?
- Because think about the physicality of
an uncircumcised penis.
- Oh my god, I've dated so many guys that have been like
"Yeah, if I ever have a son,
"I'm not gonna get him circumcised
"'cause apparently it makes your orgasms feel better."
and I'm like, (groans)
- Think about how stuff can get in there.
- Sex is fun, sex is great, sex is powerful.
Sex creates life!
It's incredible.
- If you do use protection, then it decreases
your chances of all of these things.
We gotta keep that in mind. - Every time. Every time.
- It's always better to be more informed
about your sexual health.
There's no downside to that.
- Yeah, for sure.
And also, this isn't a thing of like don't do stuff
and don't have fun.
If you can educate yourself as much as you can,
these things aren't avoidable,
but we can lessen the likelihood.
- At the end of the day, sex is fun, sex is great,
but make sure you're safe and make sure you
put yourself in safe situations.
(bright pop music)
- Scare your partner if you have to, be like
"have you heard of chancroids?
"We're wearing a condom."
