Better Safe Than Sorry


I am sure that once in a while you will come across this kinda converstion, or maybe you have been the one that cried out the new or received the news.

"oh gosh, my period is late!" you might have said or heard.

"i did put on condom! " again, you might be saying that or hearing that.

Why is that so?

Here is the deal. According to some research (i forgot where did i come across the research, you should judge how true is that), condom is only 85% effective in preventing pregnancy. That's why some people still get pregnant even though their partner wears a condom during the process.

aww, then what's the point of wearing a condom?

well, it's to prevent STDs (sex transmitted disease) as well as to prevent pregnancy to certain extent!!! It'd be more ideal if you can convince yourself or your partner to have take birth-control pill. lol.

It has left me with a lot of questions. Why do people so eagerly want to have sex while it actually gives people so many troubles? You will have to wear a condom to prevent STDs, you will have to take birth-control pill to prevent unwanted pregnancy, you will be scared the hell out of you for the whole month if you forget to do both. Also, there are so many measures invented to prevent all the consequences caused by having sex so that people can have it without any anguish.

You might say " i want to do the most intimate thing with the people i love" or reasons like that. Yeah, that might be part of the reasons. But the ultimate reason why do people keep searching for it: The pleasure you get from it outweighs all the troubles you get yourself into.

No matter what, it's always better safe than sorry!!

hmm..I have been exposed to this issue recently as well. I think the most important is to prevent HIV virus from transmitting through sexual intercourse. I agree with what u said, it is better safe than sorry.
