Condom killer on the loose!
Saying that the use of condoms is “safe sex” is in fact playing Russian roulette. A lot of people will die in this dangerous game.
— Dr Teresa Crenshaw, member of the US Presidential AIDS Commission.
The Carnival season is here again and the “safe sex” activists are also in high gear with their condom-use charade, in their so-called fight against AIDS. Once again, the Ministry of National Security has also advised that there would be increased efforts to reduce the incidents of crime during the Carnival season.
However, in spite of all their strategic plans and tactical operations, the greatest killer for the Carnival season would remain at large. As this writer has stated before, the Condom Killer comes out to make mas in Carnival. He comes fully decked in the costume of lies, treachery and deception. He is the robber without a whistle. He may come free, but his victims pay the ultimate price. May I also remind those who are inclined to be fooled by the “all safe” condom lie, that condoms continue to be proven unreliable in the prevention of pregnancy. Some condoms are treated with the spermicidal lubricant known as nonoxynol-9, which should kill the sperms that have been released. Yet, with such odds against getting pregnant, the condoms have, on numerous occasions, proven unsuccessful in preventing pregnancy. The risk of contracting AIDS is therefore huge.
Condom promotion is essentially the number one means of encouraging promiscuity and irresponsible sexual behaviour in general. There are many persons, who, because of the fear of AIDS, would choose not to engage in illicit sex. However, as a result of the assurance given that condom use guarantees protection, they “give in,” only to later find that they have been brutally deluded victims of the Condom Killer. Quite a number of people get into “the act,” intending to use a condom, but “in the heat of things” they “just don’t bother.” This behaviour is also quite common under intoxication. No wonder the statistics continue to show that with the higher “safe sex awareness campaigns” comes a dramatic increase in AIDS cases.
Here are some facts on condom failure which commonly occur.
1. Sex in haste — In the car, at a party or out on a “lime,” when people are intoxicated, or “high” (such as in Carnival) very little or no heed is given to proper precautions when using the condom. The condom pack may also be opened with the teeth, causing tearing. The fingernails can cause damage in a similar way. The foil pack in which the condom is wrapped can damage the condom, as the latter is being pulled out in haste.
2. Putting on the condom badly — Condoms have a reservoir end at the tip, from which air must be squeezed out before fitting on. If this air remains (which is quite frequently the case), the extra pressure built up at the time of ejaculation can cause tiny fractures or complete rupture of the condom. Air bubbles can also be trapped while the condom is being rolled on to the length of the penis. During intercourse, friction causes bursting at the sites of these air bubbles.
3. Anatomical geometry —Condoms must fit the penis properly. A one-size-fits-all condom does not pass the test, hence slippage occurs if the condom is too large or slack. With slippage, semen is leaked out. This can happen during intercourse or when withdrawing after ejaculation. Dripping semen is a frequent occurrence, especially when one has a “nice head” and faculties are malfunctioning!
4. Holes in the condoms — Latex condoms may have tiny holes called “voids.” While sperm is larger than these holes, micro-organism may pass easily through. This includes the AIDS virus which may be smaller than the “voids.”
5. Type of sex — For anal intercourse, the failure rate of condom is significantly higher because of the lack of lubrication and more trauma on the condom. Apart from homosexuals, there is “dry vaginal” sex and an increasing number of schoolgirls who are having anal intercourse in order to “keep their virginity.”
6. Poor storage — A large number of condoms are kept in wallets, in trousers pockets, in purses, in glove compartments and some have resorted to stuffing them in lockets worn around their neck. Exposure to air, heat and light in these circumstances do weaken the condoms and increase their failure in the act of intercourse.
You may be further convinced by this view: “Saying that the use of condoms is ‘safe sex’ is in fact playing Russian roulette. A lot of people will die in this dangerous game.” — Dr Teresa Crenshaw, member of the US Presidential AIDS Commission and past president of the American Association of Sex Educators. Or perhaps you’ll take this advice from the US Food and Drug Administration: “The only sure ways to avoid sexual transmission of diseases are not to have sex at all or to limit sex to one uninfected partner who is also monogamous.”
