The Risks of Spring Break Sex Dr. Travis Stork: Spring Break is often time to blow out esteem but when you add alcohol as well as other risky behaviors the fun can quickly turn dangerous as you’ll see in this video from momlogic.com.

This bead is your — shake so I shook my boobs the big pops Male: There’s like a 100% chance and we come here and we’re going to get laid. Male: Michael has been— Female: I don’t really think it matters how old they are it just depends on who’s giving it up and it’s usually the under girls. Female: We’ve seen a lot of girls that have been raped in, just not good situation. Sarah: The most shocking thing I saw on spring break was a girl who’s going to hand stand the other girls is giving her oral sex. Female: It’s just bending each other over and take their panties out and looking at each other. Dr. Travis Stork: In a pool of cold women three out of five women they knew had unprotected sex. More than half has sex with more than one partner and Lisa women in particular are at risk for STDs particularly unprotected sex with situations like this. Where often times they don’t even know their partner. Dr. Lisa Masterson: And that’s what the scary thing is about for a woman in Spring Break is because more women have unprotected sex and usually it’s because of alcohol. And there are so many consequences I mean there are consequences to both men and women where STD contract. And you can contract everything from HIV, to hepatitis, syphilis, — gonorrhea. The thing about women is this can affect your future fertility. This can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which can cause scarring and abscesses inside of you. You can contract this whether it’s vaginal, oral, anal intercourse it doesn’t matter whether it’s a girl on a girl, or guy it doesn’t matter and I cannot tell you after Spring break my office as a gynecologist is filled with women who all of a sudden don’t know who they had had intercourse with and are pregnant. So this is again why we’re talking about this in the show is because we want them to have safe bond. Dr. Travis Stork: And same goes for all the guys too and it’s just one of these things that we need to continue to educate. We have a question for my mom in the audience Gloria, and I heard what you’re going to be asking. This is really important for women to listen to. Gloria: Thank you doctor. I’m really worried about my daughter that she might get date raped. I heard there’s a new drug, Rufi where they knock them out and then they raped them. So, is there something that she could take afterwards if she’d noticed this some symptoms? Can you tell us what these are? Dr. Travis Stork: When people typically talked about “date rape drugs” the reason that it’s so difficult is clear liquid, clear powder, odorless, tasteless GHB is one, Rohypnol which is Rohypnol also known as Rufi’s. What can happen is if you leave your drink unattended or let’s say you happen to be hanging out with people that you don’t know, you stir that around it’s in your drink, odorless, tasteless. The symptoms you’ve got to worry about if you feel overly relaxed, a little nauseated, and you have loss of muscle control, surely if you have difficulty of breathing. But here’s the big thing with this date rape drugs. Amnesia, you have what’s called anterograde amnesia. You forget you don’t know anything that happens once you drink this drink until you wake up. And anything that may or may not have happened, you don’t even know. This is where it’s so crucial because you have a daughter who— Dr. Drew Ordon: I’m sitting here we’re talking about it and I’m getting sick to my stomach thinking about it. This happened to my own daughter Shannon and she went with the group to there is she is she’s on spring break in Puerto Rico. She was supposed to call in but I guess she’s on spring break and just couldn’t do it. But anyway she went with the group to Las Vegas and obviously she met a group of people. She turned her back, her drink was unattended. Somebody put a Rufi in her drink and thank God she was with a medical student that knew what to do. She started vomiting, she passed out they cleared her airway, called 911 she had to go to the emergency room in Las Vegas and she has a complete amnesia of what happened during that event but the point you make is that anything could happen and she wouldn’t remember it. Dr. Travis Stork: But the fact she was with a friend is the absolute key. Dr. Drew Ordon: So the take homes there are don’t leave your drink unattended, don’t accept drinks from people you don’t know. Don’t drink from something that’s already have been opened up. Dr. Lisa Masterson: And don’t go away alone, don’t let anybody take you off alone stay with your friends.
