No One's Wearing Condoms Anymore! (NSFW) I've definitely seen and heard this attitude in a lot of people over the past few years. Shit, it's rare that a woman ever asks me if I have one, let alone put one on! And, catch the story about the idiot in the Miami swimming pool. *smh* $5 says he's retarded!!
 Condom Sales Declining, Rawdogging On The Rise Even in the age of HIV/AIDS, studies show that several people still aren’t using protection. According to research by Ian Daly, a Details magazine writer who penned "The Death of Safe Sex", condom sales in the United States are getting lower, syphilis is making a comeback, shooting up by 43% between 1994 and 2004, chlamydia cases have doubled in that same time span and since 2001 new cases of HIV have been spiking.
Daly interviewed several professional men (mainly physicians and lawyers), some of whom were married, for the article and his findings were astonishing:
“The only disease I ever got was crabs,” says Mike, 35, scanning the banquettes of women in too-short-for-Casual-Friday dresses, “and that was worth it!” This delights his friends, Evan, 37, and Alan, 43. Handily one-upping his pal, Alan recalls a wild night in a Miami swimming pool. “She ended up giving me Chlamydia,” he says. “And the sick thing is, two or three weeks later I saw her at a party and told her what happened—but she looked even better! So, dude, I took her home, and I got it again!” They all burst out laughing.
These men are a microcosm of what seems to be changing attitudes toward safe sex among the masses. According to doctors interviewed for the article, more people are starting to view STD’s as nuisances that can mostly be cured and in the cases of HIV, herpes and HPV, they’re seen more as chronic conditions like diabetes, which can be managed. People are also still believing that STDs, especially HIV are more of a homosexual male problem and that because they don’t know anyone infected with the more serious diseases, that they will be fine.
“It keeps us in business. It’s across the board, heterosexual and homosexual. I’m talking about a tremendous rise in Human Papilloma Virus [the cause of genital warts] and Chlamydia in the heterosexual population,” says Dr. Steven Berman, a Manhattan urologist who’s been in practice for 20 years. “People don’t want to be bothered. There’s a tremendous number of people with multiple partners now who might use a condom on the first contact but then frequently drop using condoms quickly afterwards. Even populations who are at risk—patients I’ve treated before for STDs—some men are resistant to using condoms. It’s not sinking in—the message is just not clear.”
Another contributing factor for people’s ignorance discussed in the Details article is that abstinence education has way a substantial amount of resources from sexual education programs that have been proven to work better. The federal government spends twice as much on abstinence programs as it does on the Division of STD Prevention at the CDC—the department that managed to quell outbreaks of gonorrhea and syphilis among soldiers after the Second World War. According to doctors, by displacing those funds you put people more at risk.
The bottom line is, fellas: It’s not just women like Kat Stacks you need to look out. Ladies: Although the Details piece focuses on men, it’s also a woman’s responsibility to make sure her partner wraps it up because unplanned pregnancy isn’t cute either.
Do you agree that people are taking STD’s less seriously these days? Why aren’t people wrapping it up? —Starrene Rhett (@GangStarrGirl) | |

Do men today still feel that it's the womans responsibility to take the pill or whateva so the dude has an excuse not to use a helmet on his dick??
I've heard some men say that wearing a condom interferes with the pleasure aspect.

Scorpions carry deadly venom that can even kill...
And that stinger arched over the scorpion's "partner" really drives that point home.

When the guy does that, they need to accept the repercussion of whatever comes next. Pregnancy, HIV, some other STD, or whatever.
I mean, I understand that condoms don't feel THAT great and all, but if you're just meeting or getting to know someone, common sense would say it's GOT to be a requirement! | |

As I believe Snoop Dog said once..
A condom is referred to as a Jimmy [Kimmel]. Nobody finds it funny and everyone hates it when it's on.

If you want kids to never have sex, show this...
Back on topic...Yeah, I've noticed the same thing about women : Not many would ask you to put on condom. I don't know why. a girlfriend once told me it's a matter of education. She told me some girls just don't know how to bring the subject, and they're afraid they guy would feel insukted or suspected carrying STDs. They're afraid of the man's reaction... And yeah, so what if the man indeed has a STD??? You'll cach just because you were afraid of asking him when it's matter of health?? Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves. | |

For me it was the other way round : I had always had potected sex (from my virgin days on:lol: ), and I remeber the first time I did it without a condom on (after tests of course)... It was so ... different, I was more sensitive, so I ejaculated after a quicker than usual So yeah, condoms kind of interfere with the pleasure aspect. But in my case, it makes sex last longe... Plus it's safe, dammit! Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves. | |

... My Gf was like :confused: ...Condoms do not protect you from herpes, crabs, scabies, genital warts...
but they are still a good idea for protection of those STD's that tend to be symptomless.
Question: Why are "crabs" called crabs when they are in your crotch but called lice when they camp out on your scalp? Isn't it all the same? | |
