1. Some say that if we would just use condoms, a lot of our sexually related problems, such as, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies would cease or at least be greatly reduced:
A. The problem is that the situations in which condoms are most needed are the ones in which they are least likely to be, least likely to be used if they are present, and least likely to be used correctly if used.
B. Most of the time sexual diseases and unwanted pregnancies do not happen in long-term sexual (fornicating) relationships, but in casual hookups.
2. Most people do not carry condoms with them:
A. Most guys, despite all their bluster and desire, do not think that on any given night they will be having sex. So they don’t necessarily carry a condom with them even when out on Friday and/or Saturday night.
B. Many guys are still too embarrassed to buy a condom.
C. Most women, who do not have a steady boyfriend, will not carry a condom in their purse for fear of being seen as a whore ready to have sex with the next available guy.
3. Even if a guy has a condom he is unlikely to use it, or use it correctly, during a casual hookup:
A. In most of these situations people will be out partying and alcohol and hormones will be raging. This is definitely not conducive to clear thinking. So even if a guy has a condom on him, he may not think to use it.
B. Even if he does think of it, if he hasn’t had sex in a while, he may not want to stop the process to put the condom on for fear that the girl will begin to have second thoughts while he is trying to find it and put it on, and put a stop to the whole thing.
C. If he does put it on, in his inebriated, hormone charged state, he very well may not put it on correctly.
4. As a society we have preached condoms since the 1980’s at least:
A. After all of that time we still have somewhere around a million or so abortions a year, and we still have a major problem with sexual diseases.
B. If preaching condoms has not worked in all this time, during which we have often given them away, why do we think they will work if we continue to preach them?
C. If any of us were to try the same solution to the same problem for decades, with little to no success, people would rightly think we were crazy.
5. We know that the solution to the sexual disease and unwanted pregnancy problem is to stop having sex before marriage. We just don’t want to do it. We want to continue to do the behavior that causes the problem without having the problem:
A. It seems as if our society is so crazed with sexual lust we can no longer think clearly about the issue nor do we want to.
