Condoms and STDs
kenleyva
Greetings fellow mongers. I was wondering if any of you ever acquired an std despite using a condom? The reason I ask is because I will be paying a visit to the world famous Hong Kong Club in Tijuana and want to do some "exploring" but I am worried. Am I good to go with a condom? Thanks guys.

last commentWhat's the alternative? No condom? You could roll the dice and hope for the best. On the real though have her suck/fuck with the condom on.

I've never used a condom with strippers. I'm an adventurer. :) Ya never know, kenleyva, it's a good idea to use one with strange.

Go bareback at Hong Kong. If your dick doesn't turn black and fall off in 6 weeks, you'll be OK.

Either that or if it turns, purple, exudes a green pus. :(

Makes perfect sense to ask a bunch of horny mongers on a stripper board about condom efficacy.

Yes, you are still taking some risk, despite using a condom.
85% protection for HIV
same for Gonorrhea
maybe 50% for chlamydia
HPV 73%

I generally don't use condoms but I also don't have sex with high volume sex workers. TJ brothels are probably the best place to used them though. Nothing is 100% but the risk is really quite low, if not zero.

^^^ Risk is never zero, and what you call "really quite low" may be "really quite high" for someone else -- especially when you are considering what could be life-or-death issues like HIV or throat cancer.
Condoms are not 100% effective and -- if you study the data -- I think you can make a strong case that protected sex with 10 high-volume sex workers is actually more dangerous than unprotected with one partner whom you trust. Especially if you're both tested.

A legit question - lots of reports about ITC and OTC here - while condoms not 100% effective (usually due to breakage or slippage) - any posters gotten STD in Tijuana or elsewhere with condom use? Would never do bareback!

aidsmap is a pretty reputable site, but the HIV protection rate is probably much higher than 85% and the protection rate against HPV much lower. At least from the studies I read many years back.

Neobwn, I readily admit I'm stupid not to use condoms. People here bust my chops all the time, I've been incredibly lucky, Do what you feel is right.

@vincemichales: are you and adventurer or idiot? It would explain how you got AIDS.

That's what condoms slare for - if one is so worried then P4P is not for them - if one is to bypass doing things b/c the risk is not zero then one would never leave the house

The only 100% safe way is abstinence. other than that it's the degree of risk you wish to take, and the level of irresponsibility.

LMAO, Douchester, you are the idiot. All you do is post the SOS, dumbass. Go short your treasuries. And be sure to fuck your stupid self.

Oh, relax, vincemichaels. I was just kidding that you got AIDS from unprotected sex with strippers. We all know it was your unprotected adventures in gay bathhouses across the nation.
And just a reminder that above, you yourself admit to being an idiot. So you want to argue with yourself now?
