Sincerely,This website is a great resource for learning about Gonorrhea. It has many
up to date research articles, studies and statistics. On STD trends, Pelvic
Inflammatory Disease (PID), Treatments, Antibiotic Resistance and Infertility.
The following is from their fact sheet:
'Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes in women, and in the urethra in women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.
Any sexually active person can be infected with gonorrhea. It is spread through contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus. Ejaculation does not have to occur for the virus to be transmitted or acquired. Gonorrhea can also be spread from mother to baby during delivery.
Gonorrhea is a very common infectious disease. CDC estimates that more than 700,000 persons in the U.S. get new gonorrheal infections each year. Only about half of these infections are reported to CDC. In 2004, 330,132 cases of gonorrhea were reported to CDC.
Although many men with gonorrhea may have no symptoms at all, some signs include a burning sensation when urinating, or a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. Sometimes men with gonorrhea get painful or swollen testicles.
In women, the symptoms are often mild, the may include a painful or burning sensation when urinating, increased vaginal discharge, or vaginal bleeding between periods. Women with gonorrhea are at risk of developing serious complications from the infection, regardless of the presence or severity of symptoms.
Several
antibiotics can successfully cure gonorrhea in adolescents and adults. However,
drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the
world, including the United States, and successful treatment of gonorrhea
is becoming more difficult. In April 2007, CDC officially added gonorrhea
to a list of super bugs that are now resistant to common antibiotics.
The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is to abstain from sexual intercourse, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected. Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of gonorrhea.'

From the website: 'Gonorrhea is commonly known by the slang term 'the clap'.
One suggested etymology refers to a traditional treatment used to clear
the blockage in the urethra from gonorrheal pus, where the penis would be
'clapped' on both sides simultaneously.
It could also refer to the painful sting in the male urethra, which feels
like the sting of a clap (as in clapping hands) when infected with the disease.
Yet another suggested source is from the old French word 'clapier', meaning
'brothel'. Another suggested source for the term is from a notorious 18th
century keeper of a brothel, Margaret Clap (better known as 'Mother Clap'),
though perhaps her name itself was derived from the slang term. This term
has, in recent years, come to be used by extension to refer to any unspecified
sexually transmitted disease.'

Want to be Involved? Join us in this research,
which provides an excellent opportunity to present to the world the latest
knowledge about the thing we all find most interesting - sex! The work will
not just benefit humanity, it will profoundly enhance your own sexuality
as you learn more about our complex and diverse sexual evolution.
We seek help in finding the latest scientific (evolutionary)
research on our biological and cultural sexual evolution and distributing
content (overviews / summaries) to relevant pages.
This site is well respected. We are listed as the
Top
Philosophy Website on the Internet with around 600,000 page views each
week. So your contributions will be seen and read, and will be providing
humanity with a great source of wisdom about a very important subject (that
currently suffers due to cultural / religious myths).
If you would like to be involved (or have comments about this website) please
write to us.
Many thanks! Karene
Analyse
any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of
sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which
life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established;
the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice,
his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a
complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts
and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
