It's rather refreshing to hear Dr. Phil speak intelligently

What? People of faith ignoring actual facts and evidence? Get outta here!

@CommonSenseJoe umm Im referring to the video, gay to straight clinics... not condoms or safe sex. Not that at all.

[CommonSenseJoe]

@eddieisfiction You mean the kind that says using a condom is "safe sex"?

[eddieisfiction]

@CommonSenseJoe I thought it was about stopping propaganda.

[CommonSenseJoe]

@eddieisfiction I believe that conversation was about sexual education.

[eddieisfiction]

@CommonSenseJoe and just so you know, if you properly know how to use a condom, the chances a getting a woman pregnant (not including women that are condom proof lol) are more closer to 1 in 100 than one in 10. Just remember, its a general statistic, and in all reality probably not even based in fact to begin with. Pretty hard to measure something thats so discreetly purchased and then used afterwards.

@CommonSenseJoe also again, I dont see what this has to do with the video, but ok lol. Just thought Id answer your questions.

[eddieisfiction]

@CommonSenseJoe also its not a 1 in 10 chance to get pregant, most of the issues that its an 11% failure rate is due to the fact that condoms arent used correctly.

also if women are using contraception, the chances of getting pregant decrease by a high amount. Condoms are not the best form of protection against pregancy, female birth control is. Having monogamous partners and testing prior to sexual activity reduces chances of disease to 0

@CommonSenseJoe its a general figure... and yes it does fail for STDs quite often... even less than 89% of the time, due to the fact that not all STDs have to transfer via semen. i.e. crabs, herpes, warts, etc.

although I dont see how thats relative to this video to be honest... Im a bit confused

[CommonSenseJoe]

@eddieisfiction Fine, let us consider your figure. Would fly on an airline where one out of every 10 flights crash? Remember, pregnancy can only occur part of the time. However STDS can be transfer 100% of the time. If a condom fails 1 in 10 for pregnancy, what kind of rate does it have for STDS?

[eddieisfiction]

@CommonSenseJoe the condom rate of protection is actually 89%, and thats an overall statistic based condoms used and pregancies that occur despite usage. It doesnt mean that its 89% for every person. It can prevent 100% of the time for someone and it may never work for someone else... but on average it protects against pregnancy 89% of the time
