<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california">California</a> State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) was interviewed Thursday by The Washington Post about the response to his state’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/monkeypox">monkeypox</a> outbreak and said that people have to make their own decisions about having sex.</p>
<p>The Democratic state senator is heavily involved in San Francisco’s monkeypox response, a city that has reported rising cases in recent weeks, even as it hosted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/san-fransisco-to-hold-gay-sex-festival-despite-city-declaring-emergency-over-monkeypox-outbreak">street fetish festival</a> celebrating gay sex.</p>
<p>“If people want to have sex, they are going to have sex,” Wiener <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/08/04/monkeypox-gay-safe-sex/">said</a>. “I know people who normally go to sex parties who will not. People will make their own decisions about their own risk levels.”</p>
<p>Wiener also <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/video/sen-scott-wiener-discusses-monkeypox-emergency/#x">joined</a> CBS Bay Area Thursday to discuss President Joe Biden’s public health emergency <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/monkeypox-outbreak-public-health-emergency-declared/">declaration</a> over the monkeypox outbreak. Wiener celebrated Biden’s move, saying it would “open up public resources” to combat the disease.</p>
<p>When asked if he saw society as a whole shifting in their response to monkeypox, Wiener responded, “Yes, among gay men, we’re seeing a lot of decisions.”</p>
<p>The state senator elaborated on that point, explaining that he went to the recent San Francisco fetish festival, called Dore Alley, and saw a lower turnout than usual. “I know someone who was working the door at one of the sex parties the weekend of Dore, and attendance was down by 50%, and I’ve heard that about some of the other sex parties as well,” Wiener commented.</p>
<p>The Dore Alley festival held last weekend was expected to bring thousands of people into the city’s SoMa area and featured kink demonstrations, dancing, and shopping, <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/kink-festival-monkeypox-Dore-Alley-17339435.php">according</a> to the San Francisco Chronicle.</p>
<p>The city <a href="https://sf.gov/information/monkeypox-cases">reported</a> 424 monkeypox cases as of Wednesday, a 65% increase from the previous week.</p>
<p>While monkeypox is not spread exclusively through sex, the disease is infecting gay men at a far higher rate than any other demographic. A new report from California showed that 91.7% of monkeypox cases in the state are in “[g]ay, lesbian, or same gender loving people,” while men make up 98.3% of all infections, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-report-shows-lgbtq-community-hit-hardest-by-monkeypox">reported</a>.</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/transmission.html">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a> (CDC), monkeypox can spread through skin to skin contact that often happens through hugging, kissing, extended face-to-face contact, and sexual intercourse. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/symptoms.html">Symptoms</a> include fever, headache, cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion. The disease can also cause painful rashes and blisters.</p>
