I find it interesting how some of the posters talk about giving up condoms like they gave up on something bad for you, and that they're proud of it. It's not like an addiction to smoking or something. Most of us don't enjoy using a condom, and I think just about everyone would stop using them if we could.
Yeah, I don't like condoms, neither does my SO, but they're just damn necessary for us right now. If we go "off" them, why would I post here and "brag" about how great it is to not use them... some people really prefer to use them, for where they are at in their lives or because birth control is harmful to the woman.
I'm also freshly back from Zambia, where "condom" is a filthy word and men in the rural areas refuse to use them. As a result, over half of Zambia seems to be infected with HIV/AIDS, and most men have 2-3 wives who each have 8-10 children. So I'm not gonna trash talk condoms just because we Westerners are lucky enough to have women's lib and also be able to afford birth control.
/end surprise rant, sorry.
