Title: STDs in movies
Post by: Inyarear on September 24, 2007, 12:59:18 AM
A recent article on the subject of STDs (how they're nastier than ever and a number of them can circumvent a condom) brought this question to mind: what movies can we name that actually have people catching STDs in them? For all the general banging and boinking going on up on the big screen these days, you don't see a lot of realistic consequences for it in very many flicks. The only one I can name off the top of my head is USS VD: Ship of Shame (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/shipshame/index.html), and that's a Navy training film.

If it weren't for public service films, in fact, I doubt we'd ever see many films in which the characters get really nasty venereal diseases for messing around. I don't know any mainstream movies that cover this subject; even B-movies don't much mention it. Let's hear it, people: what films can you name that have people getting genital-scorching VD? To keep an open mind here, movies featuring fictional STDs count, too (in case you can think of anything from the ever-helpful Japanese anime makers with their twisted sexual kinks).

What about vampire movies? Like the VAMPIRE LOVERS? Or LUST for a VAMPIRE?  :question:

I suppose that the affliction in "Rabid" could be considered an STD.

"Eat and Run" had a running gag that the female character kept giving everyone herpes, including the alien.

Not quite an STD, but the boys in "The Last American Virgin" get crabs.

"Sex Madness" is an old exploitation film with an STD.

Johnny Depp dies of Syphilis in THE LIBERTINE - one of the worst movies I've watched in the last year or so.
