Some people have the mistaken belief that if their partner doesn’t ejaculate, they can’t become infected with an STD. This is not true. Pre-ejaculate can also transmit infections. If a person starts having penetrative sex without a condom, and then uses a condom for the rest of the intercourse, that person has had unsafe sex.
People come up with many different reasons to justify not using condoms. Some of the most common are the following:
—They’re uncomfortable. —They’re unattractive.
—They decrease my pleasure in sex because they decrease sensation.
— I’m afraid they won’t work.
— I’m embarrassed to buy them.
— I’m embarrassed to put them on in front of my partner.
— I’m afraid they’ll spoil the mood.
— I’m on the pill, so my partner doesn’t have to use condoms for protection against sexually transmitted infections.
My answer to all these arguments is that there are two important reasons for using condoms:
—They can protect you from an unwanted pregnancy.
—They can protect you from acquiring a sexually transmitted infection, which could make you infertile (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease) or cause your death (e.g., HIV).
