Who exactly doesn't have an ``agenda.'' I think anyone who bothers to come to Free Republic does. Who doesn't care what's happening in our country/the world? Besides, should we suppress a scientific fact because it doesn't fit with someone's ``agenda?''

Truth is always a good agenda.

See #6 for a scientific insider's opinion on the matter. He looks pretty objective to me.

"...but given frequent use, one eventually will find a serious leaker..."

You're only suppose to use them once, then throw them away.

So if someone shows that firearms have a small level of failure or that ammunition will have a dud from time to time, that we should not own them and forget the entire gun culture?

Hmm? Oh no? Ok.

Same here. No one said condoms were 100 foolproof, that's why you don't go around bedding the entire populace.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't use them.

Besides, if you question someone who has had an STD, and they answer honestly, almost none of them got it while using a condom, that I can guarantee.

"This means that after you do the "roll-on and pull-on" that you *then* spin your partner around your newly established "axis"."

Wow! What are you doing tonight? ;-)

(just kidding!)

I was with you up until this point. Herpes, genital warts and lice are three common STDs which condoms cannot prevent.

It has been my personal and professional experience that a great number of human beings will flat out lie given the choice of being honest or getting laid.

That's a stretch.

My point was that one cannot have conduct a sexually promiscuous lifestyle and expect condoms to keep one completely safe from transmission of blood borne pathogens. Even if the threat wasn't HIV, human papilloma virus, syphilis, gonorrhea or clamydia can get through a deficient condom and all have serious consequences.

One thing that this article mention is that other studies have found that almost no one is a consistent user of condoms, especially in the younger age groups. They get a false sense of security because they use condoms- but not all the time. Plus, I would imagine a lot of people with STDs don't know where they got it.

Why do you think educators should hold back this information about condom efficacy from students? How is that going to help?

I'm waiting for the spray on versions like that "liquid bandaid" stuff.

That's the point, many of these sex ed classes basically encourage them to do just that. Just use a condom and go have fun...

See, "Joe 6-Pack's Questions For Liberals," Number 13.

Perhaps I should clarify this for my own sake. I am a Registered Nurse.

I like it.

You do know that there are those who go without, just for the thrill of "the gift."

A huge Indian walks into a convenient store.

"I need a good condom" The cashier replies: "Here's a pretty good one. This should be fine."



The next day the Indian returns.

"Me go ugh. Squaw goes ugh. Condom go CAPOW!"

cashier: "Well here, try this one. It's our heavy duty condom. This can stand up to anything."



The next day the Indian returns.

"Me go ugh. Squaw go ugh. Condom go CAPOW!"

cashier: "That's insane! Here try this one. It's made out of pure tire rubber. This thing could stand up to King Kong."



The next day the Indian returns.

"Me go ugh. Squaw go ugh. Condom go ugh. Squaw go CAPOW!"
