There is often a lack of understanding that encouraging people to believe that the use of condoms provides effective protection against sexually transmitted diseases promotes a life pattern of sexual irresponsibility such that a large proportion of these individuals, often the majority of the younger age group, d o not continue to use the condoms regularly, if at all. So the advice to use condoms is self-defeating from the beginning. In stark contrast is the result so often seen when there is an active program of teaching natural family planning. The gentle discipline of the Billings Ovulation Method engenders a remarkable development of the relationship between a couple, because the generous acceptance of a time of waiting without intercourse for the sake of the other person, means that they grow in love for each other and are thus motivated to remain faithful. The Centre for Communicable Diseases in Atlanta, Georgia, has made a clear statement of the scientific evidence that demonstrates the inability of the condom to provide certain protection.
Prevention is the only cure for the disease.
