Sex Education: Protect Thy Self

I went to a planned parenthood meeting that really taught me a lot. First of all it scared the hell out of me that in my city the statistics for African American women living with HIV is higher than Africa. That really made me just want to keep my legs closed tighter. I know that HIV is a silent killer and it is the highest among African American women but I had no idea that the statistics were so high. I also learned alot about HPV which there is really no way to avoid it due to skin to skin contact. I knew about HPV but I didn't know that much detail about it or how serious it could be. But it is very serious.
The nurse who conducted the meeting passed out condoms, flavored condoms, compact mirror to check ourselves down there and of course the usual ink pens, and chapstick. I took all of the freebies. Although, I decided not to have sex until marriage I would rather have the condoms and not need them, then need them and not have them. So with that being said it doesn't matter what people think, say, or stereotypes, ladies carry your own condoms. That way there is no excuse if the guy doesn't have any condoms. You will be safe, clean, and disease free regardless of the stereotypes with women carrying condoms. Also, guys who say that certain condoms don't fit are lying. The nurse rolled a whole condom on her entire arm and it fit without breaking. So unless his penis is bigger than an adult's arm (which I doubt) than he can fit the condom. So ladies lets bring down this statistic and lets just get rid of this horrible disease.
