We're past that age where we see an unwrapped lollipop on the ground and still pick it up to suck on it, right? So why am I still seeing girls that are foolish enough to get down and dirty with unwrapped candy?
I know this might be rough news to some, but using protection while having sex is crucial. The five-second rule does not apply when it comes to a penis. Depending on his endurance, five seconds can be all it takes for his little fishies to start swimming toward your eggs.
It's understandable that you just want to get it in when you're horny and the moment feels right. It is imperative, however, to fight the urge to spread your legs and to stay strong when he says: "come on, I'll pull out."
Let's be real, even Snapple bottle caps know the importance of returning something with a broken seal. Our society always second-guesses unwrapped and opened items, so our mindset should be no different when dealing with the baby maker.
Whether he is your long-time boyfriend, a friend with benefits, or even long-time acquaintance, you must understand that you never know anyone's full sexual history. You can never be 100 percent positive about which diseases he has or how quickly he'll be able to pull out when he reaches his peak.
Having unprotected sex can lead to unwanted pregnancies and STIs that have the ability to change a life forever.
Some girls think it's OK to have unprotected sex because they can easily obtain Plan B in the morning to prevent a fetus from emerging in their uteri.
Plan B works effectively for seven out of eight women and it only works when you use it within 72 hours after having intercourse. Although it helps prevent pregnancies, it won't protect you from an HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted diseases, according to www.planbonestep.com.
Boys, or I should say pigs, that let girls become highly intoxicated before they attempt to insert their unwrapped straws into their juicy drink need a serious reality check.
When a girl is really drunk and just wants your dick inside of her, it's going to ‘slip her mind' that she's not on birth control. You do not want to deal with the constant text messages when her period is late or the tears when she throws up one morning and convinces herself she's carrying your child.
Moreover, there is a false idea that getting it in without protection is "cool." Many girls actually find it weird when a guy continuously begs to have raw sex after the idea has been rejected several times.
"I asked one of my guy friends if he was concerned about not wearing a condom and he said it's a risk he's willing to take," said Noelle Zinn, a junior nursing major. "I just think he can't get hard otherwise."
There is a simple solution to the problem we face when we're in the moment and it's time to make the decision about how desperately we want to get it in.
Always carry condoms.
You never know when you're going to have a chance to get it on like rabbits and you don't want to spoil it because of your inability to remember the glove. Condoms are available free of charge in the Health and Wellness Center in the Student Union.
Those who have had unprotected sex may think it feels much better to thrust when there's nothing separating our privates, but I believe the paranoia that comes after letting your vagina get the best of you is not worth the pleasure you felt the night before.
Lastly, be safe, be smart, and always wrap your present before you give the gift.
