It makes good sense to use protection when you're sexually active. Wearing a condom or making sure that your partner wears a condom every time you are intimate is your first line of defense against many sexually transmitted diseases. Educate yourself and don't be foolish. If you can't talk to your partner about condoms, birth control, and sexually transmitted diseases BEFORE you enter into a sexual relationship, you don't have enough intimacy and trust within your relationship to be having sex with them. Be smart. Be educated. Be safe. Wear a condom!

Every time you have sex with someone who is sexually active with others or who has a history of unprotected sexual activity, you are having sex with them and their previous (and current) partners, and their partners, and on, and on. The more partners, the more chance of someone having a disease that could have a direct affect on your health if you don't practice safe sex. Why take a chance?

Unplanned pregnancy can be prevented by proper birth control methods. Please! It is everyone's responsibility to practice safe birth control. One mistake can result in unwanted pregnancy.
