I am not an opponent of condoms. I am a realist. I am an opponent of the cultural lie that indeed exists, that the condom is in fact 100% safe and effective. Well, of course it is, so song as it doesn't slip off, break, or leak. For whatever reason, kids aren't told this and none have any idea of the failure rate, and don't find out about it until they have an accident.You can indeed have unprotected sex with a woman who has full blown AIDS and you won't catch it. Circumcision seems to be some kind of deterrent. Not sure why.
Condoms opponents have seized on the fact that condoms are not 100% perfect in preventing AIDS to further their arguments that abstinence and sex within marriage are the only ways to prevent AIDS.
And condoms made of animal tissue are definitely NOT recommended for prevention of STDs!
"Accidents" should be stressed alot more, when instructing condom use. It's glossed over. Because they believe if kids knew the failure rate is 3-14% they might not use them at all, but still wouldn't abstain. Well, there's the problem. They don't want to teach abstinence at all, because they think it isn't practical, so let's arm the kids with condoms and hope for the best. And NOT inform them of the possible consequences.
Those stats are from Stanford University. That's 3-14 pregnancies resulting out of every 100 acts of sexual intercourse USING condoms! That scares me, and I'm fearless!
The only guaranteed 100% effective birth control is abstinence. I am NO fan of "abstinence only" sex education but I do think it should be an equal part of it. But the thing is, it shares the same fatal flaw all birth control methods do -- if you don't use them they for sure won't work!
As to having sex with a person who has full-blown AIDS? I'll pass and let you service those.
