Is morbo for sexual diseases?
I randomly type in phrases in Spanish and follow the links on google. I came across a dating site that most of the phrases say something like "Busco amigos o amigas (ambos) (nada de morbo). I haven't heard Morbo aside from the username. Does it mean sexual disease? Is that the best way? Gracias.

It's like every word is interlinked and related so that "zombie" can also mean something similar to STD. Crazy. I await the natives with baited breath.
Have you ever stopped to think about how crazy English can be? A bat can be a stick or a flying mammal. Spring is a season, but also an elastic coil. If you say that a person is smart, are you saying that this person is intelligent, or stylish? Because you can be smart without being stylish, and stylish without being smart. Generals eat in the private mess and the privates eat in the general mess. If you see a round object in a dance hall, is that a ball in a ball? What is the relationship between light (not heavy) and light (electromagnetic radiation)? What about sound meaning both air vibrations, a passage of water, and also meaning trustful (eg. sound advice.) Miss can be a young woman, but also failing to hit or do something, and as a verb it means to feel sad because of someone who is not with you (Miss, if you miss the bus, you'll miss him.) A club is a place to meet, but also a stick or a weapon. Can you bring a golf club to a club to club someone? What is the relationship between a large fish eating mammal (a seal) and something to prevent spillage (a seal)? How can be a letter defined as a piece of paper full of letters? Can a dog facing a tree be barking at the bark? As Mr Wright tried to get the correct words on paper, Mr Jones told him: "Write the right rite, Write".
Come on! 
There is always a reason (even though it is weird sometimes):
The word morbo comes from Latin "morbus", meaning sickness or disease, from the same root as the word "morir", to die. "Morbidus" in Latin meant "diseased".
"Morbo" was originally simply a synonym of sick (it still is used like that,) and "morboso" "sickly." instead of diseased. Extending the metaphor to the mind, "morbo" and "morboso" were used to refer to sick mind states and passions, especially unhealthy thoughts about unpleasant things or death. It was very common to say that when a person gets interested in something strange, dirty or twisted -especially in sexual matters-, this person has a morbid interest, so people ended up using "morbo" to mean "sexually attractive (in a weird or unusual way)."
So why is it so strange that a word related to death refers to diseases (that cause deaths) and zombies (that are dead)?
This link was pretty interesting - looks like your guess was right but that's not the only meaning:
Check this link, Jeez urban dictionary So, morbidly obese might be an option. No fat chicks. But I personally think that "nada de morbo" would be "nothing twisted/sick" and doesn't necessarily have anything at all to do w/STDs.
I did a search and found things like..."Nada de morbo ni cosas feas, pura comunidad de niñas bien, nada malo."..."nada de morbo ni vulgaridades"..."nada de morbo exagerados ni pervertidos"..."Nada de morbo ni gente deprabada"..."ya no tiene nada de morbo ni perversion"..."no es nada de morbo .solo para gente decente"...
Lets see,
Morbo.
(Del lat. morbus).
m. enfermedad ( alteración de la salud).
m. Interés malsano por personas o cosas.
m. Atracción hacia acontecimientos desagradables.
Then... what do you think ? Is some of these definitions consistent with your question?
Morbo the Annihillator is a character in Futurama.
This is purely speculation, but perhaps the writers took his name from Spanish, or Latin, and maybe "our" Morbo took his name from there. Or the "sexually attractive" part.
Sorry Morbo if I'm wrong ( both of them ) !
Curious, if you type "morbid" in our dictionary, it gives "morbosa,a" and it also is a noun for "ghoul" but it seems to share a root with morbo, which can also means diseased, maybe like a ghoul is diseased. Spanish is so interesting. It's like every word is interlinked and related so that "zombie" can also mean something similar to STD. Crazy. I await the natives with baited breath.
