By 2004 AIDS will be the leading cause of death in
the world (source World Health Organisation).

 Condoms
are now widely available in shops and supermarkets.
 However,
if you're a bit embarrassed to buy them, ask a more sassy
friend or more simply order them online (they're also often
cheaper that way too).

There were 15,000 new cases of
HIV and AIDS world-wide, reported each day in 1999.
It could
happen to you.
The
Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) estimate that there are
over 30,000 people with HIV in the UK, up to one third of whom are
unaware of their status |

 How to use a (male) condom
- Find
the teat or closed end and squeeze it to get rid of air. This will
also help you roll the condom on the right way round.
- Put the condom on when the penis is fully erect and before it
touches your genital area.
- SOMETIMES some guys break the condom at this point in a vain attempt
to get you to have sex without it (see (a) )
- Still holding the end, roll the condom all the way down the penis.
If it won't go to the base then it's probably on inside out. If so,
start again with a new condom as sperm could now be on the first one.
Some guys find that diff brands fit them better than others. (a)
Don't believe the man who says 'I'm too big for condoms'. If you do encounter such
an idiot, get a condom, and fill it with water till its huge, then
show him, and ask him if his penis is bigger than that.
- As soon as the mans earth has moved and before everything goes
floppy, hold the condom firmly in place while pulling out. Do this
slowly and carefully so you do not spill any semen.
- Take off the condom, wrap it and put it in a bin. Do not put it down
the toilet. It don't work, its not nice, and it'll end up on the
beach.
Can I use lubricants with condoms?
Yes. Any lubricants can be used with male or female polyurethane
condoms. Some people use spermicide - which does not weaken latex or
polyurethane - as an extra lubricant. If you are using a male latex
condom, remember that you should never use oil-based products - such as
body oils, creams, lotions or petroleum jelly - as a lubricant, none of
those fancy massage oils or anything like it at all. This is because
they can damage the latex and make the condom more likely to split. Some
ointments can also damage latex. If you are using medication in the
genital area - for example, creams, pessaries or suppositories - ask your
doctor, nurse or pharmacist if it will affect latex condoms.

I'm too embarrassed to ask him to use one ...
Then STOP! If you're too embarrassed to ask you REALLY shouldn't
be doing this.
Embarrassed ? Jeez. Too embarrassed to do something that could save
your life ?
If one of your friends asked you to jump off trump tower would you be too
embarrassed to say no ? Scared of not being cool ? Not grown-up enough to have sex then I'm afraid.

If you loved me, you wouldn't ask me to
(sometimes they also add in 'Do you think I'm infected ?') - If they loved
YOU they wouldn't say that.
Don't worry, I'll stop before I come / I have
great self control. If you believe this or go along with it, you really
are stupidgrrl.
They kill the sensation - Not a lie, but a
very very stupid reason not to use one.
