And that girls who do have one in their pockets are slutty?! What is wrong with having protected, responsible sex that makes it taboo? Let's just hope that people will have a better idea about the condom and how it protects people rather than just preventing pregnancy.

I know I'd ather be safe and anyone who you sleep with taht makes claims about 'not doing' condoms isn't someone you'd want to sleep wit. Think about it- anyone who is that ignorant is someone who is more likely to contract an STI and you can bet they aren't even intelligent enough to be getting regular check ups let alone keep them and their partner safe. If you're going to be having sex with someone you want them to care about BOTh your healths and you yourself need to be responsible for your own as well!! totally agree- a just in case condom is all about choice, safety and respect for your body and means your smart and in no way ’slutty’ although I hate that word as it implies such double standards.

They don't even sell that size in Ireland! (Lucky me!) I love you and your viewpoints. I'd like the imagine that I was embarrassed by the type and the fact that I was buying two boxes of the costco size, but whatever, I WAS being responsible, smart and prepared. That is definately a reason to be proud.

This is probably the greatest line in her blog. It's unbelievable to me how many people out there know they have a disease and don't care about spreading it around. It's almost an attitude of "If I'm going down, I'm taking as many people with me as I can." Girls who carry condoms aren't slutty, they're smart. More often than not, guys (at least the guys I talk to) hate condoms and won't "do somebody" with one. My response to them is that they probably aren't getting a lot of action. Young girls today need to start carrying condoms and insisting that their partner use them. Safety is never stupid, nor is it slutty. “Expecting somebody else to protect your body is not only foolish, it’s dangerous!” This is probably the greatest line in her blog.
