I am currently celibate, until I find THE ONE, and when I do, he would not need to use protection because I would trust him fully.

But, it is always encouraged to use protection if you're into one night stands and casual sex.

Life is a sexually transmitted disease which is 100% fatal

Herpes complex is one of the most common diseases in today's populations. Chances are really good you or someone you know has had some form of herpes flare up. Cold sores are also known as The Kissing Disease which is a form of herpes.

Poor hygiene and cleaning habits of genitals can also cause disease. It may look and smell clean but infection remains.

Most STDs are what is called blood-borne pathogens. This means they transmit thru body fluid transfers.
Some are limited to certain vectors but some are all body fluids. Some die while exposed to air but some survive. Some require specific conduits while others transmit via any conduit.

Most health advice webpages define specific STDs and their viral toxicity. They usually describe symptoms and treatments as well.

A little wisdom goes a long way.
If your sexual activity is limited to a dark alley with anyone willing even a condom may not protect you. You might want to examine your life choices.

If you know the person well and trust their history, eventually you may be fine without a condom.

Try to realize people can carry STDs without knowing it. YOU might be carrying an STD right now and not know it.

If you are sexually active with multiple partners its best to have STD screenings done on a regular basis. Its even wise to have STD screenings done occasionally when you have one long duration lover, just for peace of mind.

Have fun, go get laid but try not to do anything stupid!

I believe the point is that YOU should think about someone ELSE besides YOURSELF when it comes to having sex, namely the baby you may create.

If you AREN'T ready to assume ALL the responsibilities of financially supporting a child DON'T make one.....it's NOT someone else's responsibility to support a child you created. If you think the government should support your child you in fact think someone else should support your child, tax payers. If you DON'T want to be a parent DON'T become a parent!!!! Creating a child DOESN'T make you a parent.....taking care of a child makes you a parent.

There are WAY TOO MANY children who don't even know their fathers. There are WAY TOO MANY children who are being raised by and/or supported by grandparents, relatives or foster parents. The reason in most cases is because IRRESPONSIBLE people, both males and females, are creating babies.....people who are ONLY concerned about themselves, the immediate satisfaction they get from sex, and NOT the implications of what they are doing has on ANYONE else or society.

Someone else's children aren't MY responsibility....people should QUIT making babies they CAN'T afford to support and raise, PERIOD!!!!!

If it ain't broke don't fix it

and by all means don't forget to sanitize those hands afterwards.

If I have to wear it ..I will but I'm clean...hate to wear them

I think most people here would wear a condom for one reason. They already have kids. Already raised them.. And sure as hell don't want to do it again.
