Here are a few stats. Read and tell me your opinion on so called safe sex.
"In the United States, more than 65 million people are currently living with an incurable STD. An additional 15 million people become infected each year." -Center for Disease Control
Condoms are used correctly less than 50% of the time. A condom can break, leak or slip off during intercourse. In one test, 33% (1/3) of the latex condoms leaked HIV(the virus that causes AIDS).
More than half of all people will have an STD at some point in their lifetime.
Each year, one in four teens contracts an STD
One in two sexually active persons will contact an STD/STI by age 25.
It is estimated that as many as one in four Americans have genital herpes, a lifelong infection, yet up to 90 percent of those with herpes are unaware they have it. Imagine cold sores on your genitals!
So what advice should we give our kids? Is it safe? Is "light" cigarettes safer? Would you let your kids smoke also?
