I'm so relieved that someone has noticed this at last! I was getting

It seems unlikely. Medical statistics doesn't seem to bear this out. 
But maybe I'm wrong about that particular, and the surge in venereal 
diseases during and after the mid '60s was entirely to do with 
replacement of many condoms with the Pill. On the other hand, I know 
that many Xians internalized the repressive domination of their 
doctrine to a degree that forced them, alas, into almost total 
celibacy followed by lifelong fidelity, while hardly any of their 
kids or grandkids have adopted those restraints.
