In the real time chat tonight we started talking about why people DON'T use condoms, so I thought I'd post this poll here for everyone who doesn't use condoms or only uses them part of them to just see why. Please don't turn this into a debate over whether or not they affective. Post your reasons and leave it at that... no need to debate. |

I voted as "Other" as we are a 1/2 and 1/2 couple. Loss of sensation is one reason, but we will use them in the case of which fertility could be a factor.

I agree. We would rather not use them, but certain circumstances do call for them.

REASONS FOR NOT USING CONDOMS 1). They are NO protection against HIV, herpes and little protection against other std's. 2). The proteins (57) cause Type I, II and fatal Type III latex reactions. 3). The (41 FDA classification) toxins cause allergies and many other serious reactions. 4). The three known and two suspected carcinogens cause cancers. 5). Lubricants (such as silicone) cause serious side effects. 6). N9 (used in some condoms) causes cell mutation and is thought to INCREASE std risk. 7). Lost of feeling and pleasure. 8). Waste of money 9). Inferior birth control, compared to pill. 10). They make sex seem clinical. |

Reasons for not using condoms: 1. I don't wear a helmet when driving 2. I swim the the ocean with sharks 3. I walk city streets 4. I ride bikes hard for exercise and fun 5. I fly 6. I don' have sex, oral or otherwise with baggies and rubber 6. I don't have sex with skanks 7. I don't engage in male homosexuality 8. I have never had an STD ever 9. I am not a syringe sharing IV drug abusers and neither is anyone I would have sex with 10. I also don't wear a whole body condom to protect me from contact viral transmission of HPV via hands, limbs, face, torso, etc. 11. I do not subscribe to politically inspired paranoia about diseases, ALAR, eletromagentisim, cell phones, herpes, pit bulls, SARS, terrorism, assault weapons, Africanized bees when the scientific method of detached analysis is proves quite more reliable. |

We don't have penetrative sex with other people, so we have no need of condoms, except in circumstances where the reliability of the pill might come into question. We don't really like them because of the loss of sensitivity, the awkwardness involved in breaking off to put one on, etc. etc. That said, if we were to have penetrative sex with other people, we would use condoms. |

Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. Every situation is different. Our personal choice and our own piece of mind is the only thing that counts. Teresa |

I probably should have picked other. We are very new so have had only a couple of experiances. I am fixed and shoot blanks but my wife is still fertile. So my wifes first question is always, can you make babies? If the answer is yes a condom is mandatory. Other than that neither of us likes the feel of them, it's just not the same as the real thing. But we always have them available if the other couple requests them. If requested we have no problem complying. R |

even though I am always honest with my partners ... and really really don't think they have anything... that bit about sleeping with EVERY person that person has ever slept with EVER... really gets to me. just can't see taking chances... (plus we are both still young and fertile and use the pill for our own birth control) | |

Ciscov, Considering I have never had an STD, and never will, and get AIM checked regularly for other's peace of mind, your ad hominem comment was highly unbecoming. To suggest that people you disagree with are a disease risk is just outright rude.... |

May be I am really dumb BUT I do believe that condoms are the only way to protect the one I love... I agree to desagree with people who think I am wrong but this is my personal choice and I really don't oblige any one to follow me on this precept. After all every one is adult enough to chose his way of life and the risk he/she wants to take in his/her quest of pleasure IMHO. Take Care. JC |

"May be I am really dumb BUT I do believe that condoms are the only way to protect the one I love" I have great respect for you but fail to see how you arrive at this conclusion. Is it just a feeling or do you have some real reason to believe this? Very best wishes, Paul |
