Condoms are about as safe as playing russian roulette. If we told kids we'd give them bullet proof vests, you know and I know the number would go up. My gripe is that these companies lie, and then exploit these kids for pure profit. Safe sex is a corporate market slogan that was not designed by politicians but by companies. I could never tell somone that your risk of engaging in harmfull behavior goes down down when you do this, when, knowing the facts, it is still harmfull behavior. If kids screw up their lives, then at least give them every single piece of usefull information that their is, and let them know all of the risks, and put it all in perspective. Lets stop lying to them for the sake of corporate welfare, the one piece where liberals assume its okay.

Condoms are a zillion times better at preventing pregnancy and STDs than using nothing. When condoms are compared to abstinence the odds change. Apples and oranges. That's why we need both. In addition to teaching abstinence, teaching young men about condoms sends a message loud and clear that to date not been sent their way: You cannot have sex with ZERO consequences. I think they need that message.
