Do you put your trust in a flimsy bit of latex?

Sex can be unsafe, even with a condom.

A condom can break or slip off during sex, even when it is put on correctly? It's thin and flimsy. It can have tiny holes or weak spots. Once it has leaked, you may not have a second chance. A little bit of latex can let you down.

Some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), like herpes and HPV (which causes genital warts), can be passed on by contacting skin in areas not covered by a condom? There are over 25 STDs passed on to millions of people each year.

• don't drink or use drugs on a date
• know how and when to leave a situation
• carry money or a phone to call someone for help
• make eye contact before refusing
• group date
• tell your date your standards
