I love this post, but am I not doing enough analysis and just doing the doctor-as-modern-secular-priest when I think that we still need a place for MD-originated, up to the minute information about STDs? If we didn’t have “experts”, I wouldn’t have learned 6 years ago from Tapestry that nonxynol-9 was not an effective birth control bolstering “spermicide”, but a vagina-abrasion-causing HIV risk. I do a lot of this education for my clients, etc. But *I* need to learn it from an “expert” medical source first, like Tapestry, or at least a source that can do reliable reportage on medical information, like POZ magazine.
What do you think, lady? And call me, call me like Blondie….
Fabulous!
