Can having sex with many different partners destroy a career?
Have
you ever thought about your goals in life? All of us have dreams of
what could be. Those who commit themselves to making some of those
dreams a reality find they have greater focus and energy than they ever
realized was possible.
Take
the example of "Magic" Johnson, considered by many to be one of the
greatest basketball players in history. As a high school student, he
had dreams which became goals, giving him the drive to rise to the
heights of world athletic achievement.
But something that had nothing to do with basketball ended his career. If
someone had come to him a few years earlier and said, "Having sex with
all these different partners could destroy your career," he probably
would have laughed and told that person to mind his own business.
Several
years ago, in 1991, he held that famous press conference where he
revealed that he was infected with the virus that causes AIDS. It was a
big shock because many people thought that only homosexuals or drug
addicts had to worry about AIDS. They were surprised to learn that
Magic Johnson was apparently infected with the AIDS virus through
having sex with a woman. Also, many people incorrectly believe that
they can tell, just by looking at someone, if he or she is infected
with the AIDS virus. But, as the example of Magic Johnson shows, a
sexual partner could look perfectly healthy and still be infected and
able to infect you.
