condoms have been proven to protect against STDs 99%

Answer 2

they can be trustworthy sometimes. but honestly unless you are willing to have a child then you shouldnt have s*x!

Answer 3

yeah they are 98 to 99 percent

Answer 4

s*x is great and you should enjoy it.

Condoms are about 98-100% effective and it prevent STDs 99% of the time. Condoms are are best option since it is not a drung and it is an external memberane. You need to make sure that he or you buy the right size.

Men's condom is the best.

Answer 5

as long as they are fresh, and not damaged, they are about 99% percent effective.  the ones with a spermicide are best...the thing behind it is "no deposit/no return".

Answer 6

The reason I don't trust condoms is not because of the condoms themselves. It's because the guy always wants to rub his p***s on you before putting a condom on and even put it in a few times without a condom. People think they won't get pregnant as long as the guy doesn't *** inside her, a little sperm does come out during foreplay, therefore it's possible to get pregnant. That's why other BC is better, IMO.  

Answer 7

They say they are 97% effective but that's only when the condom does not break. There is always a chance a condom will break and also that 3%. Why don't you want to go on birth control? Birth control is 99% effective, almost no chance of pregnancy at all because unlike condoms birth control cannot break. If you do go on birth control still wear a condom because condoms protect against HIV and STD's and birth control does not. So condoms are reliable but there is a 3% chance that condoms don't work and there is also the chance that the condom can break. Goodluck and make the right decision.

Answer 8

Answer 9

condoms only work 87% of the time so you should probably be ok but if not then try the pill or something x
