There is another disturbing reason why parents should always monitor their teenage kids' activities. A dangerous new trend called sex roulette parties, where teens enjoy unprotected group sex knowing that one participant is secretly HIV positive, is on the rise in Spain and may soon become a global trend among teenagers.
The Rise Of Teen Sex Roulette Parties
The Daily Mail reports that doctors in Spain have warned about the increasing popularity of underground sex roulette parties, which are usually attended by teens and gay men. Just like the popular Russian roulette, this dangerous new trend presents a potentially lethal game of chance as it involves teens having group sex with no condoms allowed and with at least one participant who is secretly HIV positive.
Experts claimed that underground sex roulette parties are often organized by wealthy people. They added that teens who are thrilled of the unknown are the ones who are enticed to take part of this dangerous new trend.
Psychosexual therapist Kate Morley told HelloU that teens are thrilled to attend sex roulette parties because of the higher risk. "In the case of sex parties the intense high is as you combine orgasm with high adrenaline," Morley explained.
Risks Of Teen Sex Roulette Parties
Morley warned that attending teen sex roulette parties comes with short- and long-term consequences. She said that aside from contracting HIV, there is also a possibility that party-goers will acquire other dangerous sexually transmitted diseases.
Dr. Josep Mallolas of Hospital Clinic Barcelona told el Periodico that sex roulette parties are an implication that people have 'lost respect' for HIV. "There is everything: sex roulette parties, or sex parties you can only attend if you already have HIV," he disclosed.
According to the Independent, Barcelona's Hospital Clinic has released a statement saying that the present rise of patients with HIV and sexually-transmitted diseases in the region could be blamed to the popularity of teen sex roulette parties. The clinic is presently treating almost 4,500 HIV-positive patients. An estimated of 100 people are also consulting about HIV every day.
