You know the line, “Don’t worry, I’m clean.”  Depending on where you live, you might want to think twice before forgoing the rubber. In an anonymous poll, only 37 percent of single women in the US admitted they use protection when doing the dirty.

Men have been given a bad rap as being the culprits when it comes to unprotected sex practices, but women are just as responsible for not only protecting their partners, but their own bodies as well. We’ve heard all the arguments. Especially guys’ favorite: “It doesn’t feel as good with a condom on.”  A moment of pleasure could mean a lifetime of regret. So remember, wrap up before you shack up.

Everyone has been guilty of it at least once. Whether it be 6 months ago, last week, or back in freshman year. Mostly everyone has had unprotected sex. But, depending on where you live the risk could be greater when choosing to forego using protection.
