I've never had sex with someone I didn't believe I was in love with. Just FYI.

What education does wearing a condom require?. It was not mentioned in my health classes, but I was always aware of the existence and use of these devices.

There's a few common errors (especially not nipping the head), and reducing the "taboo factor" of such things increases the incidence of usage. Research into abstinence-only education have shown that it not only reduces use of contraceptives, it does nothing to decrease rates of people having sex. In fact, research has shown that abstinence-only sexual education
increases rates of pregnancy.
This seems to me to be the natural consequence of telling people what to do, rather than giving them a choice — they won't listen to you.
The
Emerging Answers report (which reviews 250 different studies of sexual education programs) is apparently a good report on the matter, for the US.

I don't think you're particularly politically-incorrect. I can see the rational reasons for your view, otherwise I'd've stopped replying.
