Condom


First off all i would like to give my sincerely apology for this article, although it is a taboo subject to be talking about and it could be a offensive to other religions but i think that this is an issue that have to be voice out.

A condom is a device most commonly used during sexual intercourse. It is put on a man's erect penis and physically blocks ejaculated semen from entering the body of a sexual partner. Condoms are used to prevent pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs—such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV). Because condoms are waterproof, elastic, and durable, they are also used in a variety of secondary applications. These range from creating waterproof microphones to protecting rifle barrels from clogging.
In the modern age, condoms are most often made from latex, but some are made from other materials such as polyurathane, or lamb intestine. A female condom is also available, most often made of polyurathane. As a method of contraception, male condoms have the advantage of being inexpensive, easy to use, having few side-effects, and of offering protection against sexually transmitted diseases. With proper knowledge and application technique—and use at every act of intercourse, users of male condoms experience a 2% per-year pregnancy rate.

Condoms have been used for at least 400 years. Since the nineteenth century, they have been one of the most popular methods of contraception in the world. While widely accepted in modern times, condoms have generated some controversy. Improper disposal of condoms contributes to litter problems, and the Roman Catholic Church generally opposes condom use.

The question is could it be that the invention of the condom is encouraging people to have sex before marriage , or with other people freely ?

Please comment thank you

For certain people to have sex before marriage become common this day, this is happen especially in certain country in Asia because of influence from other culture. Using condom during sex intercourse is not the only way to have sex and also prevent pregnancy. This day many contraception things found such as pill, coitus interruptus method and sterilization method.

Well, I have to say its interesting subject Anuar, good job ;). Let me give my idea, since condom is not just used for the before marriage sex, the statement of encouraging people to this issue may be ignored, in addition there is the other factor which must be considered, after the marriage the need of using condom is really required since many couples “I mean men” cant really do the contraception when they are making love to their wife, so in order to not having unsolicited baby there is the need of using it. The other factor which I like to share with you is more on the social concept. Have you ever heard the “push” and “pull” strategy? Do you think if the societies discourage the people to not have sex before marriage, they will do it so? I call it push strategy, I mean any time you prohibit some body from doing some thing, you are pushing him to no do that, and he defiantly will do it. So providing the condoms for the public (even for free) may be the helpful strategy to not push the people using it and leave them free to judge and make the right decision and also provide the safety factors to the public to control the sexual diseases as well.

Sex before marriage is a very common thing in today's world. In my opinion, condom is encouraging people to have sex indirectly. Today, people do not worry about anything after sex because of condom. Not in those day before condom appear in market, some people may have to control themselves to avoid "something" from happening.

Well. sex is our physical demand. Condom is working as a protector.Sex before marriage is a common think in this days.Basically condom is for control the population. some time the couple cant control their self and they use it but now a day people use it in wrong way.Yes its true that condom encourage people to have sex before marrige.

Most people know that condoms help prevent the spread of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI).

“Whether condoms were used in the ancient civilizations is highly debated topic. But records show the usage of devices that work as condoms were used in Asia dating back to the 15th century. However the modern day condoms took its form back in the 19th century.” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom#Before_the_19th_century)
I think the invention of condoms is encouraging people to have sex before marriage. However, no condoms would not stop people from having sex but it would lead them to unsafe sex with possibilities of having sexually transmitted diseases. This way the amount of people affected with diseases like HIV would increase drastically every day. Therefore, in prevention of disasters like that condom is a must-have, after all prevention is always better than cure.

Condoms encouraging people to have sex before marriage? No way my friend, sex before marriage existed even before the condom, the condom is innocent.The truth is, its just impossible to stop sex before marriage, very few people can be virgins like me!! The condom is here to make people play 'safe', that is avoiding sexually transmitted diseases, and also for birth control. To me, its one of the most important inventions!

Well my friend I must say that it a complete wrong view that condom, encourages people to have sex before marriage. The invention of condom is not to encourage sex, but it’s to ensure safer sex as like what Nella mentioned that in toady’s modern life having sex in not a big deal. Condom can prove helpful to the countries like China and India which facing increasing population problem. Talking about India Government is trying to literate people for using condoms. I would agree with Bardia on the point that is today’s modern life their many couples would not like to have their child so to prevent such circumstances “women” does not have to "take" a pill that impacts entire body and alters natural processes. Condoms are only required when they are having sex.

Srikanth said...

Yes man I’m very strongly agree with Eric statement there is no such thing Condoms encouraging people to have sex before marriage. Actually condom helps the people to have safe sex. There are no unmarried people only using condom now days everyone using it. Condom helping the people to reduce the population and another thing is Eric said there are very few people can be virgins like him I’ll never ever agree with him because I know which kind of star is him.

i dont think comdoms are a big help these day. the reason being is because now sex is like an open subject that is being done anytime anywhere. everyone is doing everyone. condom is just like a rubber you need to put on so you think you are safe.

first of all, what a topic! haha interesting..so yeah anuar,
although it's one of the minor factors of active sexual intercoure amongst people, it's not really a major reason why. See even if condoms were not invented, some way some how men's lust would definitely counquer and as we are are human we would definitely find another way of preventing pregnancy. As we all know there ARE other ways to prevent pregnancy such as consuming pills or anal ejeculation. See we get active in our sexual activity is not because of the confidence in technology, but because of our younger generation's ways of thinking. Our modern age tend to be more open and free towards the society and i believe that is what's causing encouragenent in sexual intercause. Of course in the other hand, we should look towards the influence of the society and moral believes as well.
It's very individual (=

so, condom is encouraging people to have sex before marriage? no, i dont think so.

Yo Bro, good topic. your question is, did condoms encourage people to have sex before marriage?
well i think when it was first introduced to the world was to keep you safe from transmitted diseases and control bath rate. So that is to say condoms did not encourage people to have sex before marriage and a good example is me, condoms never encouraged me even thought with their different varieties i see around to have sex. (maybe its the girl that will encourage the boy to have sex before marriage and vise versa) Not condoms.

Eric is the meaning of virginity changed or what please let me know if so.

Eric is a Virgin?? B*** S***!!!!

In my opinion the invention of the condom does encourages people to have sex before marriage. This is because; when one uses a condom he or she feels much more safe and secure of not being pregnant and/or affected with any kinds of disease. Therefore, condom increases the possibility of having sex before marriage...

cuialbert said...

I think invention of condom is encouraging people to have sex before marriage.People feel save by using condom to have sex.

However,how save each type of birth control method works depends on a lot of things. One factor is whether the method chosen is convenient and whether the person remembers to use it correctly all the time.Other than that, the side-effects of using condom that occur could be allergy to latex condoms and irritation of the penis or the vagina from spermicides or lubricants that some condoms are treated with.

Abstinence (not having sex) is the only method that always prevents pregnancy and STDs and it is more ethical.

Therefore,I would say that Condoms does encouraging people to have sex before marriage but would not guarantee the safeness.

I thought among all of our classmates you are the only one who is polite and shy full person but after reading your this article I am sorry to say that I was wrong. You chose a good topic but don’t you think we are using some other things and invention of those things carries more value rather than condom. As like electricity, aero plane, etc. By the way I was kidding with my words and you chose a really nice and interesting topic to get some attention from users of it. I can’t say much advantage about condom so I pass my turn to Erik and I hope he can tell u briefly. Hehehe......

Around 150 games in total, but that's relatively small compared to our users. While having a passion for playing games is important, getting a rewarding career in game design will require students to be a cut above the competition. Next Jim Deacove developed a few of his own board games based on the principles of cooperation, group strategy and joint problem solving.

It iis based on computer with electrographic sensor technology.
Say you're doing as well at Chemistry, and as you are doing at Maths Extension 2, then instead of splitting your study time equally between the two (just because they are both worth 2 units each), you should spend more time on Extension 2, simply because it scales higher. Harry Potter Hogwarts is one more entry into this new series of LEGO board games.
