It is imperative to learn about risks of sex without condoms, because many teens and even some adults may not realize the potential risks of this practice. By doing your research and knowing the risks of sex without condoms, it can help you make an educated and wise decision when having sex and choosing whether to use protection or not. Here are some risks you may or may not be aware of.

  1. Pregnancy. One of the many risks of sex without condoms is an unwanted pregnancy. Not only is this an issue for the girl, it is also an important issue for a guy as well. If your girlfriend or date gets pregnant, how will you support a child for the next eighteen years? Condoms help prevent unwanted pregnancies and helps ensure that your sexual tryst is more safe from that happening.
  2. Sexually transmitted diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases, known as STD's, are one of the many risks of sex without condoms. Since a condom provides a barrier against skin on skin contact, the risk of sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, Chlamydia and Herpes can be substantially lessened to the point of almost 99% safety.
  3. Stress. Worrying over an unwanted pregnancy or the risk of a sexually transmitted disease can be one of the risks of sex without condoms. By utilizing a condom, the stress is lessened significantly and can make the sex much more pleasant. Who wants to worry about anything when having sex? By using the condom you're less apt to worry over what may happen.

While nothing is 100% risk-free when having sex other than abstinence, it's important to learn about the risks of sex without condoms so that you can protect yourself from a number of bad things that can happen. It may not happen most of the time, but do you really want to take the chance of getting a life threatening disease such as AIDS or worry about your girlfriend getting pregnant? Know the risks and use condoms to protect yourself.
