Horny History: Guatemala

It’s real history, as told by some dude in my inbox and me.

Between 1946-1948 the American government deliberately infected Guatemalans with syphilis and other venereal diseases. They infected these foreign prisoners to attempt to find some preventative measures, so that American men abroad at war could fuck and fuck without worrying about silly little consequences like syphilis.

If that sounds like an utterly unsexy topic, the horny men here agree with you. It took me two men to get through this story.

Listen, I do always want to talk about other things, but likely not what he wants. If you found this one interesting, you should definitely checkout this piece on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

My suggestions for further research on what happened in Guatemala are…
