I have seen a lot of kids on here talking about wanting to have sex without a condom. It is so troubling for me to see this. I thought I would put my two cents out there from my own personal life experience.

Here's my thing about not wearing condoms. Yes it feels amazing. Yes it's more personal. HOWEVER!! Mistakes do happen and even pre cum can have some sperm in it and make you pregnant even when "pulling out". I would hate to see you put in that kind of a situation.

My other point is that I myself didn't use condoms all the time, especially through college. Since then (and because of that) I have had many yeast infections, many many UTIs, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, (which were all cured), an HIV scare that required many blood tests, AND I now have HPV which is permanent. I have now had to tell my fiancé about my HPV which came back with no warning.

So now he may have it now and if we weren't so strong together it would have ended everything. And he may have it now and there is no test. And having babies will now be tricky as I could pass it to my child in childbirth, and my 6 year old stepdaughter if I'm not careful. Not to mention that if my HPV causes cancer (which it could), I could either not be able to have children or die if it's not caught.

This is all due to not wearing condoms. And I'm only 26. If I had known a lot of this when I was young maybe I would now be a healthier person. Save yourself the trouble, health issues, pain, doctors bills, maybe death.... wear a condom. It's a small price to pay for your physical health.
