Use Your Condom Sense!

Much as sexual intercourse is natural and healthy all precautions for having safe sex should be considered before one commits to the act. It may matter not whether you are in love or not. whether you care for your sex partner or not. Whatever motivates you into an act of sexcapade should always be preceded with the thought of 'safety first'. Be  prepared for the consequences. Apart from the possibility of unwanted pregnancy, the chances of contracting sexually transmitted infections should never be overlooked. Funny enough, majority of women would mention the fear of pregnancy before, during and after an act of sexual indulgence! It's as if the obvious exposure to diseases even in this era of AIDS, does not scare them to frigidity! Trust alone does not work, and especially so in unmarried couples. Even in marriage, when there is enough tension to warrant mistrust then the possibility of condom use ought to be discussed as the couple seek for a lasting solution. And in cases of discordant couples ( when one partner is H.I.V. positive ,while the other is negative), the use of condoms during conjugal communion should be a subject for discussion. Most people find it rather amusing that a married couple can even think of using  condoms, but one must care about themselves as well as their partners. When the situation calls for condom use or total abstinence, then there is no other option. Either make use of condoms or forget about sex altogether! It should not come as a surprise that most men cannot use condoms appropriately, this is not automatic. Men must take the responsibility of getting to know how to use condoms because improper condom use can easily lead to condom breakage/leakage and in some cases a condom can even slip off the male organ and remain in the vaginal canal! Women too have now been sexually empowered! Femidoms (condoms specifically designed for women) are now available. At least the enlightened woman has a say when it comes to condom use. If the man does not have a condom on hand, don't feel ashamed, go ahead and surprise him by using the female condom! Mostly women are disadvantaged because the use of condoms seems to be a decision that can only be undertaken by men. In fact most women would silently pray that the man they are about to have sex with has condoms with him, otherwise they just accept the situation as it is. No matter what do not allow yourself to suffer silently. Take the bold step and use your 'condom sense' for safe and worry free sex!

 No one should be forced to engage in unsafe sexual encounters.
