Debate - Abstinence VS. the Condom

In a recent article on Salon.com, the debate rages on! Join in the conversation.

Dr. Allan Brandt: “There’s always been this anxiety that if you put technology into the hands of people to promote sexual health you will also encourage what’s perceived to be illicit sexuality.”

In the first place, sexual activity goes on with or without encouragement. In the second place, saying that availability of condoms promotes sex is like saying the use of seat belts promotes driving. Either way, there will be accidents, but to not use either protection is foolishness.

The moralistic anti-condom people are merely jealous that other people can have sex without guilt and they can’t. Their answer is to stop other people from having fun. After all, misery loves company.
