Condoms do not 100% keep STD or HIV out (i believe everyone knows that). But what are the chances of contracting STD/HIV with and w/o a condom? Think i shall leave this to common sense.
From my perspective,Condoms is like a bullet proof vest,cheongsters is like some brave special force soldier in a "battlefield". What are the survivability rate between a soldier with a bullet proof vest versus the one w/o? Lets not forget bullet proof vest also do not guarantee 100% that a soldier who wears it can definitely survive in a battlefield.
I remember sharing in this thread before. To die ,it takes just a couple of secs or lesser. Not a bit scary at all. But to suffer in the process while waiting to die can take days,weeks,months, years and who knows how long.
Catching HIV/STD is a suffering for a prolong amount of time,wishing for death yet couldnt,wishing to live yet you know its going to be a very painful life and may likely have to burden those who are closer to you to and suffer together.
求生不得，求死不能啊。。。。
(want to die,cannot die,want to live,yet cannot live normally)
I dont wish to die a slow painful death w/o dignity.
Anyway,above were just my personal beliefs, my choice.

Absolutely correct and true bro. Exactly my same beliefs too. Play safe always but got to understand it still carries a small element of danger no matter who we do with or what we do.
