There Is A  Sexually Transmitted Disease Epidemic
What Is The Cause?
The answer is simple: increased sexual mixing of the population. As more and more people have multiple sexual partners, the inevitable result is an acceleration in the spread of STI's / STD's. 
The problem is compounded by the fact that 80% of the persons infected have no noticeable symptoms and, therefore, cannot know they are contagious.

CONDOMS

Condoms only help during sexual intercourse...
Condoms Do Nothing For Sexual Contact With Genitals and/or Oral Sex 
You touch someone's genitals and then you touch a part of your body that produces mucus...
You can get the STD they are carrying. 

Although condoms have been associated with the safe sex message, they are highly criticized by the medical profession. 

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has referred to them as an "antiquated system of birth control." They have a poor record for prevention of pregnancy, with failure rates of up to 13% or more per year. 

Condoms Are Not The Solution

Different studies show different failure rates, but you must consider your own risk if relying on condoms over several years of your sexual experimentation and activity.

 Whatever the failure rate for one sexual act with a condom is, it is huge when compounded over 5 to 10 years using condoms. 

The statistics are not in your favor.
