A timely and stunning statistic befitting the recent death of America’s patriarch of pornography: a shocking 110 million Americans -- over one-third of our population -- are saddled with a sexually transmitted disease. According to the New York Times,
The incidence of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis is increasing, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated 110 million Americans now are infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
Chlamydia is the most common S.T.D., and the number of cases rose 4.7 percent from 2015 to 2016… Adolescents and young adult women have the highest rates of chlamydia: one survey found that 9.2 percent of girls aged 15 to 19 were infected… The rate of primary and secondary syphilis in 2016 is the highest it has been since 1993, and it increased among both men and women from 2015 to 2016. Men account for almost 90 percent of cases, and most are among men who have sex with men.
Rates of syphilis increased in every age group and all races, and they were highest among people in their twenties.

Sorry, but no. Hugh just celebrated the females of the world and they had no problem with it.
That's like blaming mass murderers on the NRA.
It doesn't wash.
I totally agree 10:58pm. The "logic " is horribly flawed.
Whenever there's human suffering, somebody wants to put a face on it, whether one belongs on it or not. It's often the wrong face, as it is here.
Whaaaaatttt?!?!
I read playboy and never had an STD. Maybe the correlation is better blamed on the liberalization of America, embracing homosexuality, single parent homes, etc. It has to be with excess promiscuity. At least with playboy, you did it with yourself.
Gross.
Wear a condom & trust nobody. Don't blame it on Hugh, or his magazine.
