Picture the scene… You’re at a party, you’ve just pulled a Zac Efron lookalike, and one thing leads to another but… you don’t have a condom. What do you do? Go ahead and do it anyway, or be sensible and go and hunt one down?
Chances are you’ll do the former, because according to a recent survey, two of the top three reasons for young people not using condoms are they’re caught in the moment and can’t find one. Another reason is that they’re too drunk or high to remember. All three of which are terrible excuses. So, what’s a girl to do?Well, MKP will tell you… get your act together, screw that head of yours on a bit tighter and remember that by ignoring the consequences of having unprotected sex, you risk bringing about an unplanned pregnancy and catching sexually transmitted infections. We all know there are a thousand excuses not to wear a condom, but we also all know that all of these are weak compared to the very real risks that come with them. Like babies. And STIs. Read the top 10 excuses for not using a condom and then take a look at our solutions to them. Next time you hear that little voice uttering one of them in a moment of passion, you can think of MKP and then THINK AGAIN. 1. 50% of people say they don't think about the consequences of getting pregnant or catching STIs
Well this is just downright stupid. Everyone knows that unprotected sex comes with risks. Sadly nothing short of a brain transplant can make you take this one on board any more than you want to, but maybe this sobering fact will help: One in nine people in Britain have had an STI. So be warned – you are not immune.! 2. 48% say condoms are not available when needed (i.e. late at night after a party) Well this is easy to solve – make sure you’re always prepared. If you know you’re going out, carry a condom or two in your handbag. That way you can never be caught out. We know it’s often thought of as a boy’s job to supply them, but why should it be? Be a 21st century Sex And The City woman and get organised! 3. 46% get caught in the moment without a condom OK, so we all know it’s annoying to have to pause a moment of passion to fumble about for a condom, but trust us, it’ll be well worthwhile. Remember, if you choose not to this time, nine months down the line you may find yourself forced to stop… by the screams of your newborn baby. To make things easier make sure you always keep your condoms out of their box, in the same place, so they’re quick and easy to grab.
