Condom use

[Uzybone]

what percentage of sexually active (as in not just one partner)members use condoms:


I hope this isnt regarded as an explicit thread. Im just curious.

on edit: I dont want to know who does what nor do I want to know why. Ill also kick this poll several times.

1. I can honestly say that,

due to a total hysterectomy 18 months ago, I no longer have to worry about such things and never will again!!!! And no more two-week worry, as we gals called it, ever again, either!!!!!!!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

6. I had no idea that a hysterectomy prevented std's.

[Amager]

10. I was going to say the same thing

Had a partial hyster myself 12 years ago, and I still don't have unprotected sex. It's not pregnancy I'm concerned about.

[SoCalDem]

2. I have only ever seen one condom in my whole lfe

It was used as a party favor at a party.. You know those twistie poodle balloons?? Like that..


I have seen them at stores in the box.. but other than that... never..

patience and monogamy have always been enough for me.. </prude>

3. I guess never having had sex would eliminate me from this poll!

Oh well, let you know in the next year or two :)

[Exultant Democracy]

4. got to respect the condom

I never seem to be able to find any when I need them, and whenever I'm looking for something else I always seem to find them.

[BBradley]

5. Sometimes

It depends on what form of birth control the girl is on, if any. I don't trust the pill, but I do trust the shot... mostly...

[ConcernedCanuk]

7. I voted sometimes . . . .

41. Practicing safe hex, eh?

;-)

[camero]

9. Most times I get the chance

I don't have any. If I keep em in stock, I don't get any. Go figure.

Most of the time I have to run to the store at 3am.

[rumguy]

11. most of the time, but not always...

it all depends on who I am with

[elperromagico]

12. Yeah, I've grown attached to not having VD and not siring children.

[buddhamama]

13. as of now, never but i am in a relationship

have been for six yrs. we've both been tested and continue to get tested and pregnancy isn't a problem because my tubes have been tied.

if for whatever reason i was with a new partner, condom definitely.

[populistmom]

14. I've been monogamous for 13 years

So no. But there was a time, unkowingly, I probably should have. Thankfully, though, all is well.
And apparently, there was a time shortly after we were married that he wasn't and at least he used one (since I found the wrapper in his pocket). However, he still refuses to fess up, but no evidence of anything subsequent, so I'm almost positive it was a one time thing, but the lying is hard to get over. :( I was in denial for many years, until a particular conversation made me know I was only fooling myself and I was a total moron for trusting him.

[elperromagico]

15. Hmm... need a backup?

Just kidding. ;)

[populistmom]

31. I'm not easy

I'm probably not above being "woo-able" in theory, but it would take someone pretty special to be able to do it.

[gator_in_Ontario]

16. Never...

but then I am a lesbian. And as many pop-ups and as much spam as I get, my penis just won't get any bigger!

[rumguy]

17. do lesbians need to worry about STD's as much as the rest of us?

obviously herpes could be spread?

[Bertha Venation]

18. Yes.

Not AIDS so much but there are many others.

I voted "never" because we're both disease-free. But it wouldn't be a condom, it would be a dam.

Actually, active non-monogamous lesbians should use all three: condoms for the toys, dams, and latex gloves.

This has been a public service announcement from your local GLBT community center.

[rumguy]

19. what about female condoms?

do lesbians, or anyone for that matter, ever use those?

[Bertha Venation]

33. they're for hetero intercourse...

woman places it over her, uh, outer parts, and it goes in when he does. (Sorry.)

I don't know if anyone ever uses them.

[Amager]

21. I've never heard of a dam. Is that like a female condom?

Sorry if it's a stupid question.

[Bertha Venation]

34. not a stupid question

It's actually a dental dam. Ever had a root canal? Your dentist stretches it across your mouth so tooth parts don't fly everywhere & choke you.

Women use it to protect against STDs during oral sex. "Doer" puts it over "Do-ee's" parts before "doing." Although.... never mind. I can't offer my opinion w/out getting graphic & deleted.

[gator_in_Ontario]

20. I am married and have been with the same partner for some time, so....

[1a2b3c]

22. I tried one once

Cant say i liked it. I would use one if i was going some place...umm...scary. I try to never go there.

[ironflange]

23. My preferred method of contraception. . .

. . .is my personality.

:evilgrin:

Seriously, folks, I've been fixed.

[Edge]

24. Ask me after this weekend.

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[Endangered Specie]

25. Sinners! Bastards! Whores!... (joke)

kidding of course... do what ever you want in life that suits you. But do use the condoms.

[hedgetrimmer]

26. condoms are too small even the "large" by trojan, it's a curse not a

blessing... condom use is out of the question...

[Amager]

27. Don't they stretch?

Or can't you get them in Extra Large?

You'd never get anywhere with me. No condom, no kissin and huggin.

[hedgetrimmer]

29. it's the girth... my wife told me it was the extra-large condoms she

got me and it was cutting off my blood supply... we go bare back ... it's been hard ... as a teenager i scared some girls... and the whole condom issue has caused the same problem you related, no cover - no lover...

[Shananigans]

36. What's your phone number again....

haha

[TrogL]

28. I'm in a monogomous relationship

and we both got tested before we stopped.

[Djinn]

30. if I was single

I'd like to say all the time but going on when I was last single there was the odd occasion where the idea of stopping to go out searching for a convenience store didn't seem that worth it so it'd be "most of the time" if I was being honest.

In Australia atleast the chance of females contracting AIDS from hetero sex is really small - I think they need to stop pushing the "condoms against AIDS" line and start mentioning some other far more prevalent diseases that while they might not kill you can be pretty unpleasant and can lead to infertility. Some women might be a bit more insistent on a condom if they realise that in ten years time when they're planning a family they may find out it's too late because of that not-really-all-that-good one nighter they had way back when.

[Uzybone]

32. morning thrust

:dem:

[Bertha Venation]

35. funny!

[rbnyc]

37. Used to always, now never.

We're looking forward to becoming parents someday.

[Throckmorton]

38. What are they used for?

I guess I'll have to wait until I'm grown up.

[KG]

39. sexual activity?

yes, i vaguely recall it....messy....but fun...

[Loonman]

40. 100% of the time

I don't trust anybody.

Just because she says she's disease free, doesn't make it so.
