But yes, one needs to protect yourself (cause who do you trust these days – many sluts abound) but why always just promote protection and prevention? Why not also try to promote people to be a little more monogamous or trustworthy in their relationships? It’s psychological factors than can be generated from childhood. It is pretty much the same that the government is doing by promoting condoms in schools, but nothing more. Kids grow up with nothing on their minds but sex (cause it is now safe nothing can happen mos!), and sexual crimes among the youth are soaring. The statistics are bleak compared to 10 years back, and due to “coming out issues” I think sexual crimes among the gay youth go pretty much undocumented. I’m not trying to say “viva la morals and values” (that’s up to everyone’s own ideas), I’m merely saying that as sex is so complex, we should touch on ALL CORNERS of having safe sex, the psychological make up as well, not just the physical. There is protection and also “protection”.
