Recent reports indicate a troubling rise in gonorrhoea cases among divorced women in their 40s in Sydney, attributed to two main factors: a return to dating without the use of condoms and the influence of cocaine. Many of these women, after years of stable relationships, are now embracing a more liberated lifestyle, often dating younger men and engaging in risky sexual behavior. The social dynamics have shifted, with dating apps providing access to partners who may not prioritize safe sex. The use of cocaine, described as a 'party favour', contributes to a sense of invincibility, leading to reckless decisions about sexual health. This phenomenon highlights the need for open discussions about the potential dangers of post-divorce dating culture, particularly regarding STDs. The message is clear: women must prioritize their health and insist on safe practices, regardless of the allure of new relationships.
