It can affect your mental state and he has had unprotected sex with at least one porn star.
Just sayin'.

PJMcK
(22,048 posts)We know about Stormy Daniels. We also know about Karen McDougal, who was a Playboy model, (soft-core porn?).
Of course there were others. You know it's true because that's who he is.
The odd thing is that there are many reports that Trump is a germaphobe, (is that an actual word?). So why would he have had unprotected sex?
And yet, his mental behavior has been likened to that of someone who has had untreated syphilis for decades.
Alternatively, he's just an insane idiot.
Either way, Trump sucks.

(22,048 posts)Thanks for the correct spelling of "germaphobe." I couldn't figure it out for some reason, (wink).
By the way, I don't think Howard Hughes does much boinking these days!

(63,221 posts)way he could possibly contract syphilis and therefore would not get tested for it. I am sure he is not the type who gets regular check ups.
PJMcK
(22,048 posts)But before you even ask the question, do you recall his personal physician, Dr. Bornstein?
This bozo probably doesn't know the difference between a bacterium and a virus.
To answer your question, perhaps Trump has been convinced of his own invulnerability that it wouldn't occur to him that he might have been infected.
The man is not smart and he's not self-aware.

He stared right at the eclipse without protective glasses, for crying out loud. Just to show us all how "tough" he is.

(24,032 posts)The spirochetes then go dormant in the nervous system, sometimes for decades, and "wake up" later to cause great havoc in what is known as tertiary syphilis.
Same organism family as that which causes Lyme disease.

mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)And you go really downhill pretty damn fast if I'm not mistaken ... and die not too long after ... my understanding also is that 'brain syphilis' is a relatively rare tertiary form of the disease as well, it's more common that it disfigures you horribly but your brain isn't attacked.
Pretty sure he's just really dumb, and a friggin asshole.

(31,261 posts)I read a news article about a well known porn star once (it was regular news because of what she said about her personal life). When read that she was pretty well known for porn, I expected to read that her private life was wild, in fact it was boring and sexless, she was actually in graduate school during her off time.

(31,261 posts)A lot of people contract when young or in college. Some of the porn stars may have contracted before they went into porn. I am not defending porn, but saying that I read that their rates are lower than for the general population.
