A complete new insight!

Sometimes I stumble across a news article, carry on reading, until the point where I realize what I just read – and can’t help but start laughing. Last night I found something very interesting on the web, something I wasn’t aware of yet and I want to share it with you.

The following line is taken from an article on www.cnn.com which was posted on Tuesday, January 4, 2005: 2325 GMT about the safety of Condoms.

“While abstinence has a 0 percent failure rate, doing nothing to prevent pregnancy has an 85 percent failure rate, the group found.”

WOW – this are astonishing news! If I would have just known this earlier! Not having sex means the chance of pregnancy is ZERO percent – nadda – nothing! Well, I’m male, so the chances of getting pregnant are also around zero percent, but its good to know that I can’t get a woman pregnant if I don’t have sex with her. I hope the group that uncovered that truth gets a shit load of money for this amazing new insight.

While the entire article was about sex, condoms and how the safety of condoms increased over the years the writer never gave a hint about how save condoms actually are. Well I can help with that! The Pearl Index (a technique used in clinical trials for measuring the effectiveness of a birth control method) is 1 – 5. Which means out of 100 couples that use condoms over the course of one year 1 to 5 eventually will get pregnant.

Well, the group did also found out that “Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex” is the safest condom among all the brands, which is good to know. I personally prefer Inspiral, but maybe that is just a bit to much of privat information.

Well, enjoy life, have sex, or don’t whatever pleases you!
