OK, condoms are better than nothing, but they're far from perfect.

It's misleading to think condoms make sex safe. Even if they are used consistently and correctly, they can slip or break. And, do you know condoms don't cover everything? Some STDs, like HPV and herpes, can be passed by direct, intimate, skin-to-skin contact from areas not covered by the condom. Oral and anal sex can be dangerous as well.

To sum it up--condoms provide inadequate protection from STDs!
