If 1in 4 Americans has an STD, why don't people use them?!!
I'm having a hard time finding stuff on the web, so even some search tips will help. Does anyone know any good statistic websites?

This story is out of London, but I assume the reasons for the US are similar:

One with statistics from Africa:

Not sure where this is from, but you can check:

Simply put: It feels better. Whether ejaculating directly into a vagina or other orfice, the sensations that produce contractions (orgasm) are greatly increased with skin to skn contact.
I cannot speak from personal experience because I do not have a vagina, but I believe the same answer would hold true for a woman.
If I were young and involved with someone in a non monagomous relationship, I would think differenlty about it. Since I am 62 yrs old and involved in an extra marital relationship with a 40 yr old married woman where there is no sex in her marraige, I feel non use of condoms is practical and safe.

Well, people dont use condoms sometimes because they get too caught up in the moment. THey have to stop being passionate in order to put the thing on, and they think that that could effect the feelings. Also, they could be under some type of drug/alcohol influence and just forget to put one on. ANother reason ( i know this one personally) is becuase it is a little bit embarrasing when you buy them, because everyone in line and the person behind the cash register knows you are planning on getting laid. ANOTHER reason (lol) is because it feels better without it. However, if you plan on not using one, they sell ultra thin ones, which feel more natural. A lot of people also figure, "this is just a one time thing, she wont get pregnant, she doesnt have an std..." But in reality, she (or he) doesnt know they have the std, and are spreading it around like WILDFIRE!!!!
I hope this helped. 8)

I don't know of any websites but here's probably the best answer you'll get. It's too much trouble and a bother to use them. They also think that they'll never be one of those unlucky ones. They trust the person and usually find out the hard way that they should only trust them self.
Being in love or thinking you're in love sometimes carries a very large price tag

If you have access to on-line journals, look up Boyce et al. (2003), they reported that the most common reasons (at least in Canada) were:
1. They did not expect to have sex.
2. Using another type of birth control, i.e. pill.
3. They had too much alcohol or took drugs.
If a couple is in a relationship, it may also be that they do not use condoms because they trust their partner to be faithful (Netting & Burnett, 2004).

I can tell you from experience that guys seem to try to get away with not wearing them. When a girl brings it up they may even say, oh I don't have any... or something to get out of it. Also once people are "exclusive", they think it is a sign of trust to go with out it. All dumb reasons though. Better to be safe. Guys respect girls who insist, and unless you have been together for a long time, and have established trust in other ways -- don't use this as one.

Until the invention of latex, all condoms were made out of wood and were known as "good, stiff woodies." This undoubtedly caused many complaints, such as lawsuits of splintered penises. Many experts believe that the early use of wooden condoms gave rise to the modern myth that women do not enjoy sex. But it has been a recent discovery that they do enjoy sex, they just use this excuse as a ploy to make men want to have sex with them more. Don't use a rubber band and clingfilm because it will just split.

For some people, they don't like the feel of them. Other people are allergic to latex, and not everyone sells the silicone condoms yet. Other people are married and just don't care or already have a disease so they don't care. I don't have any statistics, You probably won't be able to find specific statistics on this topic though.
