Look, we all understand that sex is good, right? It makes us feel good, brings us closer to people, it relieves stress, gives us a reason to get in shape, it feels good, provides pleasure, and is tactilely enjoyable (yes, I know the last three are the same thing, but that's the MAIN reason we like it, right?). And we all understand that we should be safe about sex, right? I won't go listing all the good reasons for safe sex, because they aren't nearly as fun to think about. Safer Sex is like recycling, in that we pretend we don't mind the extra effort, and a lot of us pretend that we practice is more than we do, and practice it less than we know we should.
