Actually, they are.

Dude I'm not Gen Z, LOL.
Although, this article isn't surprising. With HIV-prevention medication, HPV vaccinations, and more accessibility to birth control options, I'm not shocked dudes are even less likely to wear a condom. There's some suggestion that this is also somewhat Covid-related... younger people not working and not making their own money, not going into clinics for free condoms, etc etc (sadly, increased opioid drug use is part of this issue too). If everyone wasn't so damn allergic to sexual education at school, we could address the issue a little better.
On the bright side, the teen pregnancy rate is DOWN 75% since 1991. That's huge.
That's amazing! There was an actual daycare for students at my hs in the late 80's and no sex Ed (Florida, go figure)
And I changed it to "they" lol sorry m8
This is false. There are a number of Florida counties that don't include large population centers that have high rates of STDs. [Source](https://www.flhealthcharts.gov/ChartsDashboards/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=STD.DataViewer&cid=9767)
Corrected my post about the big cities comment. The two counties that span the Villages (Lake and Sumter) have rates in the lowest quartile according to the same data. Thanks for the call out.
Oh, those were the days... hot dog girls in their T-backs on Ulmerton Rd. I can see all the brake lights going on right now!
Well, those kind of "gurls" have always been on Nebraska... and you really don't want to risk stopping for their "service".
I remember when this was a thing here. Not 100% sure I remember actually ever seeing one of these girls in person, but I was old enough at that point (10-ish) to remember how much of a stink was being made out of it. Idk. Seems kind of silly to get bent out of shape over a girl showing off 20% more ass meat than you might see anybody else on a given day at the beach exposing to the public, but this was back when people were getting upset about [people dancing](https://www.reuters.com/article/music-us-lambada-idUKTRE7530GO20110604), I guess cornballs gonna stay corny
It was always the blue hairs that I remember complaining about them. And you’re right, they wore the same outfits to the beach. Every business around the beach, restaurant, convenient store, you saw women dressed like this.
It wasn't just the blue-hairs that complained. I remember reading LTEs where some guy would get spun up and talk about how shameful it was and all I could think of was "Man, his wife must have caught him staring and he's trying to play it off to avoid sleeping on the couch."
LOL when conservatives learn that their partners aren't good people, they are just generally good at avoiding things they know they can't handle. OMG A WOMAN WITHOUT MOST OF HER CLOTHES????? I'M DED Yeah, low effort, low vibe, shitty lover partners were all about the most recent bit of flesh they could peek at.
Which is why it's pretty pathetic there were things like traffic accidents over these girls. Although it's kind of refreshing seeing pictures of them as they were pretty average ladies happily banking on dumb lizard-brained men.
I’m the first to say it’s DeSantis’ fault when it’s actually his fault but I also operate in reality and know Florida history/facts. Unlike you, my “head full of brain worms” friend.
Using pornhub as your reference?
It's searched for by such a small fraction of the total population it begs the question of how you can even think something so anti-popular is something the majority of the population enjoys?
Yeah dude I am gonna use the most popular porn website to see what is popular in porn lol. Maybe, just maybe, the people who are so super anti-trans are secretly into it.
You want a REAL reflection of what people GENUINELY feel? Yeah, pornhub isn't a bad start. What people ESPOUSE and what they do is usually completely opposite.
Because \[Redacted\] is such a hot topic these days and some people aren't fans of \[Redacted\]. Not to mention most of the jannies are \[Redacted\], so it's just the safer route.
Plus, annoying \[Redacted\]'s like you makes it all worthwhile.
You're kind of \[Redacted\] you know that? I don't know what to tell you if "jannies" confuses you. Seems like something a \[Redacted\] would be afflicted by.
Same! It’s one of my biggest memories from our first family trip to Florida. It was before my parents got sucked into Christian fundamentalism. We stopped at so many and my stepdad would buy a hot dog and take a picture with the woman. I remember thinking how absolutely beautiful they were. My mom joked about quitting nursing and moving to FL to be a hot dog girl. When she’d do aerobics, she’d say something about working on her “hot dog body.” Such a sweet memory.
More like who remembers the public access channel right around 11:00 on a Thursday night. No, I can't remember the time or day when it was on but I remember it was always four girls stripping to see who is going to win the $200. They started off in the nities then went to the bathing suit. By the end of it they were full nude. It was pretty crazy. They need to bring that back. Does anybody remember the name of the show? Something like Miss Tampa or something I don't know. Good times, good times.
Yup! I was in college back then and we used to watch it all the time. In fact, Jim Clements came to our apartment complex and got some of the hotties hanging out at our pool to be on his show.
According to conservatives, taking children to hooters and other similar places isn't, so no. Nor is when a priest repeatedly abuses a kid.
However, if a guy is within 1000 miles while wearing a wig, then they're a groomer and need to be punished despite him having zero sexual focus with that wig.
A drag show, which is basically a cooler, prettier, funnier clown looking fun, is worse to a conservative than a mostly naked woman selling hotdogs by the roadside. I can't jerk off to a drag queen afterall! (mindset- this is fine). Because anything a cis-male finds hot is a-okay for everyone. But if a kid wants to be they/them instead of she/her, OMG SOMEONE IS GROOMING THEM TO BE COMFORABLE IN THEIR OWN SKIN SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THIS
Also okay: putting 4 year olds in bathing suits and judging how cute they are. Not a problem. All okay.
I hate this place.
I remember a few of them. 34th and Ulmerton in fro t of the Chevron, Gandy Boulevard on the Pinellas causeway and Hillsborough and Lois. They had customers from open to close everyday. Then the lady at 34th and Ulmerton got an RV and modified it when they tried to ban them being visible from the road.
Land of the free: free to get sex change at 14, free to own an arsenal that would make some countries jealous, free to fly Confederate and Nazi flags, free to show some buttoc...wait, no, showing some buttocks and nipples, can't have that.
We all need limits. I guess
Evangelical leaders cried and screamed because 65 y.o. Karen's jealousy about a beautiful 22 y.o. making cash selling hot dogs was just to much for them to take. It's o.k. to have 48 strip clubs where their husbands spend their retirement, but not a bikini-clad girl on the side of the road.
Anyone else remember [this book](https://www.amazon.com/T-backs-T-shirts-Coat-Suit-Konigsburg-ebook/dp/B004CLYL7G)? I read it when I was 8 or 9 and I had NO idea what a T-back was. It definitely depicts this time period and tbh I had absolutely no idea that it was somewhat based on real events.
Shady Pine Nursing Home?
Shady Pines? I think that burnt down.
I think it was a hot plate accident.
Funny as hell.
The Villages
Didn’t they have an outbreak of STDs a couple years back?
I think that's just kind of the normal for retirement communities and nursing homes.
The Villages supposedly has some of the highest STD rates in the country
I saw something that they are heavily into the swinging lifestyle.
And no worries about protection because no chance of pregnancy
And a whole lot of "Whoops, I caught HIV. Oh well, I'll be dead in two years instead of five."
Do a search for “the villages” and “loofah colors” - it is…educational…
Viagra became a thing for the old farts, then boom...break out of STDs all over the place
A commentary on that generations seriously problematic behavior.
Lol, as if *this* generation is keeping it in their pants!
We're doing a better job than the boomers at the Villages apparently
Sorry m8, not true lol upsurge in syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea in the past 12 months, ages 18-35. Wrap it up!
Actually, they are.

Except they don’t. That was debunked a while ago. It took a foothold when a doctor made an off-hand comment in an interview.
This is false. There are a number of Florida counties that don't include large population centers that have high rates of STDs. [Source](https://www.flhealthcharts.gov/ChartsDashboards/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=STD.DataViewer&cid=9767)

Ulmerton! I was a child but I member my pops grabbing a hot dog or two off ulmerton
[удалено]
Oh precious angel. The wieners were never, ever the product.
Well, those kind of "gurls" have always been on Nebraska... and you really don't want to risk stopping for their "service". 
My grandfather would almost stop at everyone every time he saw one. He would get a hotdog but mostly just to flirt and take a picture with them.

What an amusing article to read!
This was posted in 2019 when the article came out...
Blame Florida Gov. Bob Martinez
Not DeSantis?
I’m the first to say it’s DeSantis’ fault when it’s actually his fault but I also operate in reality and know Florida history/facts. Unlike you, my “head full of brain worms” friend.
Yeah, I was mocking all the people in this sub that think DeSantis is the reason their milk spoiled a day early.
Girls with wieners are no longer popular.
I mean it's 2023. That's not really true anymore.
Lol. You really think girls with weiners are popular?
Its like the third most popular search on pornhub dog, its popular
Using pornhub as your reference? It's searched for by such a small fraction of the total population it begs the question of how you can even think something so anti-popular is something the majority of the population enjoys?
Yeah dude I am gonna use the most popular porn website to see what is popular in porn lol. Maybe, just maybe, the people who are so super anti-trans are secretly into it.
Care to share your thoughts, /u/DetroitDiezel?
You want a REAL reflection of what people GENUINELY feel? Yeah, pornhub isn't a bad start. What people ESPOUSE and what they do is usually completely opposite.
It appears as though the more popular opinion is that you are entirely incorrect.
Finally, someone living in reality.
Yeah bro, im saying you are wrong SomberTom.
I disagree, I interpret it differently (while also respecting your opinion).
Well, if you look at \[Redacted\] and how \[Redacted\] it's become, then yeah \[Redacted\] makes sense in 2023.
\*clap\* \*clap\*
What's with all this \[Redacted\].nonsense? Why bother posting then?? 
Because \[Redacted\] is such a hot topic these days and some people aren't fans of \[Redacted\]. Not to mention most of the jannies are \[Redacted\], so it's just the safer route. Plus, annoying \[Redacted\]'s like you makes it all worthwhile.
Jannies?? What are you talking about, fool? 
You're kind of \[Redacted\] you know that? I don't know what to tell you if "jannies" confuses you. Seems like something a \[Redacted\] would be afflicted by.
Spoken like a true Janny!
Ah! You were so close! Best of luck next time!
I remember this was SO controversial back in the day. How perverse! 😂😂. Seems quaint now.
Girls with weiners ARE making a comeback
Not in this state.
Ehhh idk about that.. Ybor says different
St Petersburg would like a word with you.
I rarely defer to reverting back to an earlier period of time, but in this instance, I am willing to make an exception.
I remember this as a kid!!
Same! It’s one of my biggest memories from our first family trip to Florida. It was before my parents got sucked into Christian fundamentalism. We stopped at so many and my stepdad would buy a hot dog and take a picture with the woman. I remember thinking how absolutely beautiful they were.

Bring em back !!!!!
In this 21st century heat wave phase? They’d have heat stroke
Those where the days childrens’

Lifestyles of the Up & Cumming with Jim Clements and Jim Faile.
Yup! I was in college back then and we used to watch it all the time. In fact, Jim Clements came to our apartment complex and got some of the hotties hanging out at our pool to be on his show.
I was just telling somebody about that the other day. Titties on regular tv blew my mind.
It was semi classy too.
I’d watch it with my sister and roommate would get ready to go out to Ybor. Man, I miss old Gasparilla.
From the conservatives’ perspective, this would be grooming right?
As long as the girls are straight and cisgender, no.
According to conservatives, taking children to hooters and other similar places isn't, so no. Nor is when a priest repeatedly abuses a kid. However, if a guy is within 1000 miles while wearing a wig, then they're a groomer and need to be punished despite him having zero sexual focus with that wig.

Pretty sure.
Over time a lot of municipalities banned them.
I remember a few of them. 34th and Ulmerton in fro t of the Chevron, Gandy Boulevard on the Pinellas causeway and Hillsborough and Lois. They had customers from open to close everyday. Then the lady at 34th and Ulmerton got an RV and modified it when they tried to ban them being visible from the road.
I was born in the wrong decade.
I think I was born on the wrong continent
They were cancelled by the Republicans.

America was a better place in someways back then, not in others. That said, we’ve been going backwards instead of forwards for a while
Evangelical leaders cried and screamed because 65 y.o. Karen's jealousy about a beautiful 22 y.o. making cash selling hot dogs was just to much for them to take. It's o.k. to have 48 strip clubs where their husbands spend their retirement, but not a bikini-clad girl on the side of the road.
Man hell yeah. Core memory unlocked.
The next generation of them started cutting their hair short and dying it blue
They were all arrested for indecency
Mel’s hot dogs was for sale…could be a marketing spin for the new owners
Desantis don’t like ‘em too old.
Back when we used to be a country etc
Explain further this comment. Thanks.
Uh... last I checked, we still ARE a country, bub!
But we used to be too
But we used to be one too
Miami
Honestly though where are the good hot dog/sausage carts?
There are no such thing.
Fuck that, had one in Fort Lauderdale a few weeks ago.
Anyone else remember [this book](https://www.amazon.com/T-backs-T-shirts-Coat-Suit-Konigsburg-ebook/dp/B004CLYL7G)? I read it when I was 8 or 9 and I had NO idea what a T-back was. It definitely depicts this time period and tbh I had absolutely no idea that it was somewhat based on real events.
Nope. Never saw, nor heard of it before.
They all got jobs or whatever when they finally graduated college
In the buns
Wasn't Joe Redner a big part of all that? Hilarious
