One of the expressions used by those promoting the sexual revolution is safe sex. The phrase has led millions of people to believe that there really is such a thing as safety in a sleep-around lifestyle. It refers to the idea that condoms can prevent disease. No doubt they do help in this sense, but the protection they can offer reduces but certainly does not eliminate the risk. Furthermore, this myth rests on the idea that disease is the only undesirable consequence of such behavior, but the results of breaking the seventh commandment(Exodus 20:13) ar_e long-term and multifaceted.

Part of this same myth is the idea that you have to test-drive a care before you buy it. Sounds logical, doesn't it? Living together, cohabitation- (am habit of sampling married couple lifestyle, common in youths these days) , seems like a risk-free way to check for compatibility. It should be an excellent method for achieving a perfect marriage. The strange thing is that statistics show that it is the way around: couples who begin their marriage in this way are almost twice as Likely to divorce within 10 years compared to all first marriages.

More so, a recent study found that cohabiting couples reported rates of physical aggression in their relationships three times higher than those reported by married couples, and the rate for severe violence was nearly five times as high as in married couples. And the more sexually active they are before marriage, the more likely it is that one or both spouses will betray the other after the knot is tied. It is hardly surprising that women involved in live-in relationships report a very much higher rate of depression and a much lower rate of sexual satisfaction than do women in married relationships.

The current explosion of STDs(sexually transmitted diseases) further challenges the concept of safe sex. A review of scientific literature reveals that condoms fail to prevent the transmission of the HIV virus-which causes AIDS. Between 15% and 31% of the time. It should be not surprise us, therefore, that while condom use has increased over the past 25 years, new cases and new kinds of STDs have grown even more rapidly.

In the 1960s, before the beginning of the sexual revolution , the main diseases transmitted by sexual contact were syphilis and gonorrhea, and they were believed to be disappearing because of the development of antibiotics. Today medical science has found more than 20 widespread types of STDs. Two-third of all STDs occurs in people 25 years of age or younger. Each year at least one-fourth of sexually active teens have become infected..°°••°°

The leading viral STD is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), with about 5.5 million cases reported each year. Another deadly scourge is Chlamydia chromatis, which scars TGE fallopian tubes and is the fastest growing cause of infertility. Medical science still has no cure for viral infection and diseases such as herpes and HIV which causes AIDS. According to the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, AIDS is a leading cause of death among 25-44 year olds.°°••°°

Merely reciting these numbers hardly gives a picture of what it means to have your life devastated by HPV or watch a loved one die of AIDS. I can assure you it is a ghastly way to die. If you are reading this article, please put it in mind to avoid the phrase safe sex. It's way too long to be having sex while you are not married, sampling or practicing couples life is wrong, don't do it.. Please save yourself, do well to share with family and friends.

The figures are scary but it increases in the daily basis but you can help some avoid this devastating circumstances if the proper care is taken.
