condoms and STDs

Sometimes i fear that many ladies don't understand that condoms don't prevent the spread of ALL STDs. nope nope they do not.

just a thought

i agree that condoms are not perfect. however i'm getting the feeling that a few people here are taking condoms for granted. condoms have saved many people from contracting STDs other than HPV. HIV for example. and i'm sure many people have been protected from HPV as well(not to mention all the unwanted pregnancies that have been avoided with condom use). they are effective if you use them correctly and carefully. they're even more effective if you use another from of birth control.

i'm not trying to put anyone down or make anybody angry. just saying that condoms are one of the best and only thing people who chose to be sexually active have to protect themselves from STDs.

you shouldn't be sorry! you're right, condoms don't protect you from everything and many people are ignorant to that.
