It is well known that the typical rate of pregnancy prevention for condoms for all U.S. women is 84 percent. Disease-carrying parasites, viruses, and bacteria are all considerably smaller than sperm cells. One such STD, human papilloma virus, is identified as the probable cause of almost all cervical cancer. Another, chlamydia trachomatis , is the most common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease which is the most rapidly increasing cause of infertility in the country today. STD infection is now epidemic among young people under age 25.
Several studies reveal otherwise.
Even when one partner knew the other was HIV-infected, condoms were not used consistently. There is also legitimate concern about the quality control of condoms. One study found that 14.6 percent of condoms either broke or slipped off during intercourse or when the penis was withdrawn. Unplanned pregnancy and STDs are not the only unforeseen consequences of sexual relationships. With chastity, we can experience true friendship, respect for life and for the opposite sex.
