Let me get this straight you know he's a player, and you still want to get with him. Give me your number.
yes, if u can get him to were one, or find a better man instead of being in a rush!
Yes its the only way to protect yourself against them. Just make sure you use it right
If you think he may have an STD, why do want to have sex with him? If you have concerns like that, use good sense.
I suggest you get some self-respect. why would you risk your health, even if it's only a slight possibility that he has something?
No more reliable than they are against pregnancy.
Sometimes, still it happens depsite condoms. If it breaks...
you get STDS .... or pregnant... or both.
Its not worth the risk.... don't do it.
You want to be his game too?
condoms aren't 100% reliable.
my cousin got pregnant using a condom.
condoms can also break.
why do you want to be with a playa?
get some self respect, girl, and hold out for a meaningful relationship.
A condom works relatively well, but doesn't protect against many STD's and other infections...such as ones in pubic hair and saliva....plus, if you do anything other than sex with his thingy, you are risking getting an STD....Personally, I wouldn't have sex with a guy who was 'known to be a player' nor one who I wasn't sure was clean.
Condoms are protection, but not a guarantee. And condoms can be applied incorrectly, slip off, etc. And some STDs can be transmitted through saliva as well. So you need to decide what risks you are willing to take. If he is a player, why don't you hold out for a decent guy that you can be in a good relationship with and feel safer with. A good guy would also be willing (as should you) to get tested before you have sex.
Not 100%. There are some STD's that are spread through skin contact so anything not covered by the condom can pass an infection. Use your better judgement, if you see any sores or bumps, I wouldn't even consider it even with a condom. Honestly, if I thought he was a "player" I wouldn't consider it at all .
Yes. Condoms are from 90-95% reliable for preventing pregnancy and 99% for STI's.
The Pill should also be taken though., it is 100% reliable for prevention of pregnancy.!
No. if hes a player your gonna get played and could end up with aids. didnt you ever take a health class? condoms do not protect against stds
I would suggest that you not take the risk. There are thousands of wonderful little children running around out there because of a BAD condom. And why in the hell would you even be considering having sex with an "A"hole like this anyway?
Sorry, I just had to wonder.
Well if you feel that strongly about knowing why don't you BOTH get tested together?
In the case of condoms... they are 99.9% aaffective against STD's as well as pregnancy, however there is always the .01% that is left.
Your best bet is get tested. If he is not willing then he was something to hide and there for is not right for you!
hope that helped! CDB
If you're going to be intimate with someone, I would simply come out and ask him if he has an STD. If he gets insulted or hems and haws about it, then I'd look for another partner. If he really cares about you, he will be up front with it. As for condoms, they are reasonably safe, but they do break and sometimes slip off. I'd be extremely careful if you suspect HIV or herpes, both of which are highly contagious and incurable, and HIV can lead to fatal ramifications.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Be extra wise with decisions that involve your well being. You and I both know that there are some things that you can get that you just can't get rid of. Don't do it as a matter of fact wait until you are married because you don't want to give your future husband's goodies to another man that could hurt you more than help.

It's still possible, but frankly, it's the guy who has more to risk than the girl.
The reason is, HIS bodily fluids are going to be contained inside the condom, and if he has something on his wang (HPV, etc) it's going to be covered in the condom.
However...
A woman's juices are going to get all over a man's area, not just on the surface of the condom, so a guy has a lot more to risk having sex with a condom than a woman.
However #2...
I've heard that HPV and herpes can be on areas not just precisely on the genitals, so theoretically, you can get it if he has it on the surrounding areas of skin, not just in his semen.
And I heard just today on the Doctor Dean Edell show, that they're starting to find that people are getting infected with HPV, because people have it UNDER THEIR FINGERNAILS, and in their mouths!!!!!
That should scare you!
So yeah, you're taking a much bigger risk screwing with a guy who is a player.
