Intimacy with another human can spread deseases that a condom won't stop. Simularly, condoms are only high 90% effective in practice. (perfect condom use for 1 year gives a 5% pregnancy rate, compared to 85% without a condom. 14% for a more real-world rate (ie, allowing for mistakes)).
Quote:
Condoms also provide protection against STIs—such as genital herpes, syphilis, chancroid, and human papillomavirus (HPV)—which are transmitted primarily through contact with infected skin or with mucosal surfaces. Because these STIs may be transmitted by contact with surfaces not covered or protected by the condom, condoms provide a lesser degree of protection against them.

The risks are low, but not ignoreable.
