Want to have safer sex? Want to help reduce the risk of unwanted pregancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)? Then you need to know about, buy, and use condoms.
To simply abstain from sex or say that you will serves only to fool yourself. You say you will not have pre-marital sex (with just anybody or your actual future spouse), but you are likely to do so anyway. Impulse, sexual drive, and “heat of the moment” desire are all strong forces, hard to resist. Before you know it, bang – you’re doing it! And you’re unprotected!
So, even though you made a promise to not engage in sex, you are as likely to do so as those who never make such a promise to themselves – perhaps more so. And, you’re more likely to not use any form of birth control or safe sex techniques.
Since the urges will ultimately win out, you need to get with the program to protect yourself and your partner: Use condoms, and use them correctly. They are extremely effective in blocking fluid transmission and preventing disease and unwanted pregnancies.
Don’t wait… Get a pack of condoms – they’re inexpensive and easy to use. Learn to use them and then use them ALL the time!
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the leading causes of death around the world are heart disease, cancer, HIV, and AIDS.
Many organizations are primarily concerned about sexually transmitted diseases (STD) like HIV and AIDS, as the prevalence of these conditions are high in developing countries, and can even affect very young children.
About 5 million of the HIV/AIDS victims around the world have no access to medical facilities that may help alleviate their condition. Some of the other STD’s that are a cause for alarm are syphilis and gonorrhea.
Many more STD’s are present across many cultures today, some of them are treatable, while others are not.
