[cherryblossom]

Hi I'm trying to get an idea of how many people actually use protection. Please answer the following:

 

1. your sex

2. your age

3. do you use condoms during intercourse

4. do you use any contraceptive such as the pill

5. do you use dental dams or condoms during oral?

 

 

Thanks!

Back in the mid and late 80's while in HS & College, we did not use condoms even though there was a lot of casual/recreational sex with everyone. What were we thinking?!!!

According to a recent study I saw, the age group most likely to NOT use protection during intercourse are those aged 20-24 and those over 45.

 

Anyway my answers:

 

1. Female

2. 26

3. No - in a long term committed/monogamous relationship

4. Long time user of the birth control pill.

5. No.

 

I would be using condoms if my partner and I were not tested for STIs or I was not on the pill, or we were not prepared for the consequences should the pill fail though! Same goes if I was single.

The truth is that many people dont have the safest sex that they could be having. But I believe that people seem to use adequate amounts of protection, such as condoms for example. The truth is that they are always risks when having sex, oral sex, touching or kissing. You cannot be 100% safe an from STI infection.

 

There has to be some kind of assumption of risk when you have sex with another person. You will never know about the other person 100%, just remember that you are the only person who has to live with your mistakes. Educate yourself about STIs and make your decision. Just looking at the answers to the survey I would say that generally people are leaving themselves open to a potential STI infection since they dont use the maximum amount of protection but it seems like they are doing as most people do and thats play the odds and hope for the best.
