No! There are many real infectious diseases that can be transmitted from sex, including herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, warts, etc. The antigenic stress from infections, as well as the antibiotics and other medications given to treat them, should be avoided by people who wish to keep their immune system healthy. Furthermore, as a soup of foreign proteins and cells, semen is an antigenic stressor when brought into contact with the bloodstream.

A.: A young lady running a small 2-color press summed it up better than I could. She said, “My great grandmother used to beat stains out of clothing by smashing it between two rocks. Now we have high tech detergents that do the job much better and easier.” In addition, a printing press roller manufacturer reminded me that no amount of mechanical grinding will remove chemical contaminants from deep within the pores of the rubber.

Some people think it's the man's job to make sure he uses a condom, some people think contraception is up to the woman. They're both wrong - it takes two to have sex, so both partners should make an effort. If you're not responsible enough to sort out contraception, you're not responsible enough to be having sex. If you're sleeping with someone, you should have enough respect for them to protect them.

The importance of practicing "safe-sex" cannot be overstated and sexually-active condom users should already be aware that "latex" condoms are not compatible with petroleum-based oils such as light mineral oil (Baby Oil) or even petrolatum (Vaseline?). ZestraT is a special blend of consumable botanical oils that have different physical properties from petroleum-based products.

With the exception of oral sex, I always use condoms. Always means that I will never depart from that rule, whatever the offer you can make me.

They've been programming more than ten years. You haven't. Draw your own conclusions. That's right! They hadn't noticed it. No doubt their compilers have it too, and its behavior is identical everywhere else in the world, also. That would explain everything.

When you post a short reply like "that rocks!." or "it's crap!", or something that serves no real purpose, that is a one-liner. If you want to compliment someone on their work, take a little time to explain exactly why you think it looks good, or add to what someone else has already stated. Just try to avoid pointless posting.

Yes. Birth control pills are only prescribed to prevent pregnancy; pills do not prevent sexually transmitted infections.

No. Condoms do break occasionally, but this is unlikely if you handle them gently, and don’t snag them with your fingernails or jewellery. It’s recently become clear that a lot of females who ask for the morning after pill say the condom broke - because they don’t want to admit that they didn’t use one. Even if one in a thousand condoms breaks, that’s still far, far better than the risks of not using one at all.

You get syphilis from skin-to-skin contact with an open sore called a "chancre." Syphilis, unlike HIV, is NOT passed by exposure to bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk. See the answer to question 2 to read more about symptoms of syphilis, or click here to see graphic pictures of symptoms.

A.Agencies from coast to coast in Canada use our condoms in a variety of their outreach programs which are conducted through their clinics, schools and in the streets among others. The condoms are made available in walk-in clinics, doctors’ offices, schools and are often used as give-away items in “bar-hops” conducted by the outreach groups. In fact, over 40 Million HardCover Condoms™ have been distributed by these agencies since 1993.

We advocate safe sex at all times and therefore you can either bring your own condoms or buy them from behind the bar.

Used correctly and consistently, birth control pills (oral contraceptives) and other hormonal methods like the patch and the ring are 99.7 percent effective against pregnancy. However, they offer no protection against STIs. For this reason, many people use female or latex condoms in addition to a hormonal method of birth control.

With anal intercourse more strain is placed on the condom. You can use stronger condoms (which are thicker) but standard condoms are just as effective as long as they are used correctly with plenty of lubricant. Condoms with a lubricant containing Nonoxynol 9 should NOT be used for anal sex as Nonoxynol 9 damages the lining of the rectum increasing the risk of HIV and other STD transmission.

Condoms are available at the Health Stop Resource Center, Room 228 Student Services Building, the health vending machine in Watterson Towers, the G-Spot (portable gazebo) or the Student Health Service Pharmacy.
