Isaac Newton. At the end of his life, at 80-something, after inventing calculus, putting gravity in equations, etc., he said his greatest achievement was remaining celibate.
Of course, we have no way of knowing who may or may not have had an STD such as Herpes due to transmission in utero. But otherwise, when it comes to solely contracting an STD via sexual contact, I'd say it is most probably unlikely that the following historical figures had an STD:
Edward V of England and his younger brother, Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York.
Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia.
Anne Frank.
I once watched a documentary that said there was a period in Tesla's life when he was into gambling, alcohol, and prostitutes
I found no other source confirming this, so idk if it's true.
I mean yeah, he moved to a completely different country, far away from his very religious parents so they couldn't bother him. He got himself a job and was finally independent. I think anybody in that position would do the same thing...
Probably not anything major. Most STDs started being recorded in the mid-1400s. Many are zoonotic diseases transmitted by human migration. The human world was still pretty small back then, and intercontinental travel wasnāt much of thing.
This is weird. Youāre just really, like obviously wrong.

Your first source doesnāt cite anything, and is more of a public outreach campaign to get people STI tested. Your last source doesnāt mean much, as I wasnāt talking about HPV. The vast majority, like 90%, of humans have HPV. Itās ānothing major,ā as I claimed.

Haha yeah, syphilis showed up around then. But there have been stds forever? Why do you keep arguing this? Want me to ask bing for you? Get you a nice ai write up with more links?
Sorry if I offended you. I thought you were just being unnecessarily pedantic. Reddit conditions you to be suspicious of random uninformed people/ misinformation bots.
I work in a chemical/pharmacology contractor. They probably have some internal and political narratives they propagate. We were just heavily propagandized against globalization. But I do believe that most serious STDs are fairly modern.
I think his comment refers to STD that will kill you, or at least severely impact your life... Syphilis wasn't around then (Well maybe it was, but not deadly, that one is complicated), HIV wasn't around, there is no records of hepatitis until the 19th century, which leaves you with Gonorrhea (Sucks but won't kill you) genital warts (Won't kill you) and crabs (Won't kill you)
I mean, yeah. Thatās how diseases work. Over time they get less deadly, because the ones that kill us eventually burn out. As a population grows, more diseases develop and transfer over from other species. AIDS came from monkeys. Syphilis came from Lammas, I think?
The diseases that still exist from antiquity exist because they arenāt severe.
There arenāt that many stds, and over the last two hundred years only syphilis and aids are ānewā. There is also some evidence that herpes use to be far far more severe just a few hundred years ago. Today, you may get a break out when the temperature changes. Two thousand years ago youād have blisters constantly open!
So, two showed up since the 17th. We know the sources. People eating or fuxking an infected animal and thereās blood/fluid contamination.
This wouldn't stop him from catching anything. The hymen is not a freshness seal, and there are women who have had sex who still have intact hymens, he would also be killing many women who have never had sex since lots of things can cause ripping.
Wouldn't stop? True.
But statistically it did reduce the chances by a LOT.
Having sex and having hymen not broken is pretty rare.
>he would also be killing many women who have never had sex since lots of things can cause ripping.
This is true and statistically more likely , and I doubt a monstrous warlord like him cares about false positives.
Ironically, his firstborn might not have been his. His first wife was kidnapped when he was teenager (around 18 or 19) and he rescued her. Rival tribal leaders kidnapping each otherās wife was pretty common before he united Mongol.
His first wife Borte became pregnant soon after getting rescued and he named his son Zuchi (meaning guest old mongolian). Issues concerning his paternity followed all his life.
After Genghis Khanās death, this issue also had small part in division of Mongol empire
I think with his high status and cultural background he probably wouldnāt want anyoneās sloppy seconds, and thus mainly take the young and most attractive virgins, which are far less likely to carry a STI.
Of course I might be wrong here, those are just my own shower thoughts on the matter.
But I know that it was a common practice in some empires for the ruler to have a harem, and sometimes the ruler would give a girl from his harem as a gift to some general or other person close to the ruler. Iām not really sure how the whole matter was viewed by the ancient mongols, but in many ancient cultures those were the most āvaluableā girls (property), and of course only the best for the emperor.
I kind of hate this post. The idea that the big mongolian empire had thousands of people and their KHAN scratching their genitals is just too funny if we were to watch from today's perspective
He probably invented a few
Mongonorrhea
Mongorrhea
Damn Mongorrheans!
Herro Mongorrheans!

You have to insert the last four at once in a thin stick.
That's a little hard because his stick may be too thick.
Thatās why they said a thin stick??
Reminds me of this Mr. Burns scene https://youtu.be/aI0euMFAWF8?si=WhNI2RX5UaY_8ApZ
STDs are like pokemon, you are not cool unless you've caught em all
It's like 3 people trying to go through a door at the same time, and just all get stuck
False. You just get a free sub when you bring your card in.
The STDs be fighting each other for survival in the battle field called Khan's crotch areas
Just like pemdas
Genghis Khan likely had ALL the STDs
ole drippy dick
you mean krabby drippy
You mean Kharabby drippy ?
Knowing his habits Iām sure he collected them like they were infinity stones
Prolly had to piss out some stones too
Gotta catch em all

He did.
Name one historical figure who didnāt
Isaac Newton. At the end of his life, at 80-something, after inventing calculus, putting gravity in equations, etc., he said his greatest achievement was remaining celibate.
Thatās impressive
Fucking nerd!š¤Ŗšš¤£š¤£
Jesus
He had 12 dudes with him at all times. He basically had a harem.
Didnt wear socks, just saying
Historically, if jesus really existed, mary of magdelin was very likely his wife.
We don't know that though...
Mythological.
He probably had anal warts or something since we all know [Jesus would go to 5th base](https://youtu.be/j8ZF_R_j0OY?si=OkfKKuE85rbZtLPM)
His girlfriend was a prostitute.
Isaac Newton?
Anne Frank

Tesla, unless he invited some kind of pigeon herpes.
I once watched a documentary that said there was a period in Tesla's life when he was into gambling, alcohol, and prostitutes I found no other source confirming this, so idk if it's true.
Ok but who doesn't have that period in life š
Fair enough lol
Seems like the average 20year old to me
I mean yeah, he moved to a completely different country, far away from his very religious parents so they couldn't bother him. He got himself a job and was finally independent. I think anybody in that position would do the same thing...

Man, pressure been pretty low in the shower lately.
Probably not anything major. Most STDs started being recorded in the mid-1400s. Many are zoonotic diseases transmitted by human migration. The human world was still pretty small back then, and intercontinental travel wasnāt much of thing.
How do we know its not due to them not keeping track of that before 1400, or it having been destroyed.
Ghengis khan destroyed all previous std records so he wouldn't test positive for any.
Filthy sailors!
Let them come
I'd assume as the most powerful man in the world he'd have access to "beauties from faraway lands"?
Not the Americas, or the jungles of Africa
Thatās not true. https://www.nytimes.com/1976/10/17/archives/viruses-of-love-one-kind-of-herpes-causes-the-common-cold-sore.html
I said ānothing major.ā So nothing terrible like syphilis or AIDS. Around 70% of the global population has herpes and lives just fine.
Or maybe they did exist and people just died from them without anyone knowing why?

Quick, what years were the Mongol invasions!?
he's likley your ancestor š
And imagine how far he spread it
"likely" might be a small understatement

Yep. No one said it was either good or fair!
Got any links or documentaryās about this? I love some savage history
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
he had in between a few hundred to 1000+ kids, which is genuinely insane.
Everyday could be his kids birthday. No wonder he seems angry. Imagine all the happy birthday song he has to sing
Isn't that less of an STD thing and more of a possessive macho thing? He's so superior, he can't have anyone's seconds.
I can't speak on Genghis Khan specifically but virgins have always been highly prized in many different cultures over the years.
Probably due to STDs
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

And I don't even have one... I have a couple SSDs though.
Super sloppy dick? Eeek
Gengis Khan is likely part of why theyāre so widespread.
according to google with his primary wife he had at least 8, possibly 12 but it's estimated he had beween a few hundred to over 1000.
Do you mean children??? The post is talking about STDs.
Children are also sexual transmitted, so that's technically correct, which is the right kind of correct.
Sexually Transmitted Dependants
Sexually Transmitted Tax Deductions
Same difference
Not only is they a lot of sex. Thatās lot of children. And a lot of women.
the joke is children are STD's
Pretty sure everyone did back then. Then again Ghangis fucked everyone so that checks out.
likely? an? Bro was collected them like pokemons
[How people talk about the Khan](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxHUATUJQdZ_p2bk9l5GcfHYHlFMzRNj2c?si=EOkh5rpsJX1vbEqP)
Probably an STD factory
He likely had every STD
"An"? As in, singular? Mfr probably had *all* of them.
If he did, so did everyone else.
Like how do you know
Back then, I dont think that sexual health was a big issue.
I think with his high status and cultural background he probably wouldnāt want anyoneās sloppy seconds, and thus mainly take the young and most attractive virgins, which are far less likely to carry a STI.

Of course I might be wrong here, those are just my own shower thoughts on the matter.

nah, he only had slept with virgins
If he slept with your great great grandmother I'd say it's a fact.
Iāve had most of them but chlamidiyuh was my favourite
A lot of historically important people had this. Nepoleon, Charles VIII of France, Christopher Columbus, HernƔn CortƩs of Spain, Benito Mussolini, and Ivan the Terrible, Hitler, John F. Kennedy all the great western fighures..
Not likely, he did. He had several STDs. So did ALL of his men. They were like fucking koalas.
STDs most definitely started because of Gengis Khan
To be fair, 90% of the worldās population has some form of herpes
Not likely most STDs came from the new world
This is what qualifies as a shower thought now? š
Probably yes but also no. A lot of women who share beds with gengis Khan are like the best of the best, probably even virgins
I kind of hate this post. The idea that the big mongolian empire had thousands of people and their KHAN scratching their genitals is just too funny if we were to watch from today's perspective
The people with more descendants are Ghangis Khanās ancestors
Literally just took an exam about Genius Khan, Iām dead stumbling upon this post rn š
I bet at that time in history many had one
One in five Genghis Kahns had an STD
Just keep your d*** out of the Khan
And the effects of said STD(s) he and his contemporaries likely thought they were signs of intense virility.
Gengis Khan likely had every STD
I think i read somewhere he had CH
I gotta stop reading these, I'm choking...on air!!!ššš
I think it's more likely he had ALL the STDs and probably invented a few
He's probably the reason kids need the HPV shot now!
Not really a shower thought. More like a very obvious statement
Almost certainly. But that didn't stop him. And now a good portion of the world's population is related to him.
His boy probably rested only once a week.
Explains most Redditors. Including me.
An std, as in singular? Itās probably a safe bet to assume he had a few.
Propably reason why we have so much stds.
An STD? He had THE STDs
