Thanks a lot for the facts! I'm abstinent! Thanks for asking!

Billy never has sex

You swallowed the textbook, right?

ah well, live with it
if people don't wanna practice safe sex, let them

WOW thanks for sharing but I do pratice safe sex

Those numbers are high as heck. I practice monogamy!

way too many in the states, in Fl in all states and in the world have AIDS and since I am now married I do not worry about safe sex my husband is ever faithful

One good thing to be said about monogamy isn't it?

Still teens always think "it will never happen to me" WRONG.

I do medical transcripts and you don't want to know how awful AIDS is...you do NOT want to have this life sentence kids....use a rubber...its that SIMPLE....and hey you guys, oral sex...they make "protection" for that too. Use it.

The only truly safe sex is abstinance unless you are in a committed long term monogamous relationship.

i had safe sex the first time im with that girl. sometimes the 2nd time. but the 3rd time i dont

Yes. I have sex with a man who was a virgin, like me, when we met. And we use protection.

thats great hun, but im not having sex til im married !!

My GOODNESS! That's sad. I'm glad I protect myself.
