They are more effective at stopping STDs, STIs, and unwanted pregnancies than thoughts and prayers though.
Certainly more effective at stopping teenage pregnancy than abstinence only sex ed too.
It feels like you just wanna argue for arguing's sake.
The condom isn't perfect and shouldn't be treated as such. As good as it may be, it's not a panacea.
And when it comes to sexual experimentation, depending on a thin piece of plastic to protect you from everything you might want to try is quite unrealistic.
I think we are not fundamentally disagreeing. Condoms alone are not a protection against all the bad things that could occur while sexually experimenting.
My initial point was that if one is going to experiment, there are ways to mitigate risks. Condoms are one such measure, and they are ridiculously effective compared to the effort they require.
Being sexually uneducated will still make things risky, but if I'm faced with someone who has decided to fuck their way through Europe, you bet the very least I would tell them is to always have a condom with them.
Sortez couverts !
Fundamentally yeah.
