CONDOMS: CHOOSE WISELY

Having sexual activity is a natural and a somewhat necessary element of human life. In fact, it is because of sexual activity that the human race continues to exist and without sexual activity I think it is safe to say that the human race would vanish. That being said, it is important to know how to put on a condom before sexual intercourse. If people know how to put on a condom before sexual intercourse, then it is possible to avoid unwanted and accidental pregnancies. However, condoms aren’t foolproof.

Sexual activity is a vital and an essential element of the human experience. Sex has always been and always will be apart of our culture. In fact, sex is a topic that is talked about extensively day after day. There was a television show called Sex and City. However, that show never had an episode that dealt with how to put on a condom. But, I am sure that condoms were referred to from time to time. Condoms are important objects in sexual intercourse because condoms can help prevent an unwanted and unplanned pregnancy. However, condoms aren’t foolproof for preventing pregnancies. The best way to prevent unwanted and unplanned pregnancies is not to engage in sexual intercourse. The process of not engaging in sexual intercourse is called abstinence. However, if you do engage in sexual intercourse, please not only know how to put on a condom but also please use a condom. Using a condom during sexual intercourse is called having safe sex. I know this sounds just like a public service announcement against having unprotected sexual intercourse but there are many teenagers that engage in unprotected sexual intercourse there by getting the girls pregnant; so talking about using and condom or two during sexual intercourse is very important.

Sex is very exciting and beautiful but is also essential that people have sexual intercourse in a responsible manner. Using condoms and knowing how to put on a condom before engaging in sexual intercourse is acting very responsible. In most high schools students are taught sexual education. The sex education class is usually taught in tenth grade. The class is usually a mixture of lectures, films, and discussions. I think that how to put on a condom is even taught in most high school sex education courses. This project can be illustrated and demonstrated by taking a condom and placing it over the top of a banana. Remember that condoms are rubber so they will stretch over a banana quite nicely and easily. The banana represents a man’s penis. If I had to do that with a banana and a condom in high school during sex education class then, I may not have been able to look at a banana again. This would have been a shame because I love eating banana splits. The activity of how to put on a condom was illustrated in the movie Never Been Kissed. Maybe if students were shown how to put on a condom there wouldn’t be so many unwanted pregnancies. I learned about and was given a condom in high school but I also had a class in college called human sexuality. It is essential that people equate sexual intercourse with responsibility. Plus, it wouldn’t hurt people knew how to put on a condom or two before sexual intercourse.
