Condoms In India- Usage Myth Or Reality

Condoms are being used widely across the world. As a result of sex education in schools, the usage in the western world is far more greater than in South East Asia. There, the youth as well as middle aged people understand the relevance and importance of using condoms. However, in India and South East Asia, people still have a mindset against it’s usage for reasons best known to them.

Thus, there is a need to educate the people in India in the right perspective so that they adopt to using condoms every time they indulge in sex. The teens too must realize the importance of condoms in making their life, safe, happier and healthy.

The Reality

Everyone in this world has sex. No one can deny this fact. Yet, many girls and women get pregnant against their wishes and suffer in life. In most cases, Emotional instability and hatred for sex creeps in resulting in breaking of/strained relationships. Many girls stray off their path of professional growth and start treating life as a burden. this behavior results in disputes in the family and consequently, the future of the girl is totally bleak. All this happened because of one omission/mistake- not using condom during sex.

The Myth

The middle aged couples are learned and soon pick up the habit of using condoms. But, the teens, youth feels that using condoms will deprive them of sexual pleasures. This is a myth.

Need To Learn

The importance of safe sex can not be over emphasized.For a healthier, safe , and contented life, safe sex is a must. A mentally stable and satisfied mind can prosper much better than a disturbed, disillusioned mind fearing the aftermath disaster of unsafe sex.

It is the duty of parents, teachers, elders and the schools, media,  various organisations to reach out to the people and apprise them of the advantages of using condoms during sex.

Awareness Campaign

People have changed their life styles over the years but, for some, the thinking has not changed. It is high time that healthy sex education is made compulsory in schools, colleges in order to convince teens to use condom every time they indulge in sex. They must insist on their male partners to use condoms to avoid getting pregnant or contacting STD. Some of the Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) can also assist in this venture.

What are the benefits of condoms?

Condoms are easy to get and easy to use. They help prevent both pregnancy and STDs. And condoms can even make sex better — seriously.
 

Condoms are effective against STDs.

Condoms and female condoms are the only methods of birth control that also help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Even if you're already using a different kind of birth control to avoid pregnancy, it's a good idea to also use condoms or female condoms every time you have sex to protect yourself from STDs.
 

Condoms don't cost much and are convenient.

Condoms are super easy to get from many different stores, community health centers, Planned Parenthood health centers, and online. You don't need a prescription or ID to buy them, and they're inexpensive (or sometimes even free). Condoms are a small, discreet, and portable way to get big protection from pregnancy and STDs.
 

Condoms can be sexy.

Protection is important, but so is pleasure. Luckily, condoms offer both!

Condoms come in lots of different styles, shapes, and textures that increase sensation for both partners. And having your partner put the condom on your penis can be a sexy part of foreplay, especially if you add lube. Condoms can even delay ejaculation (cumming), so sex lasts longer.

You can use condoms for oral, anal, and vaginal sex, so they protect you from STDs no matter how you get down. And that's really the sexiest part of all: condoms let you focus on pleasure and your partner without worrying about pregnancy or STDs. Safer sex is better sex because it stops stress from killing the mood.
 

Condoms help other methods of birth control work even better.

Adding condoms to your birth control lineup can give you extra pregnancy protection. No method is 100% effective, so adding condoms as a backup helps you prevent pregnancy if you make a mistake with your other method or it fails. And it's a good idea to use condoms to help protect yourself against STDs as well.

Condoms can add extra protection to almost all other birth control methods, like the pill, shot, ring, IUD, and implant. However, don't use the female condom and male condom together, and there's no need to wear more than one condom at a time. One should do the trick.
 

Condoms have no side effects.

Most people ca

n use condoms with no problem — there are no side effects. Rarely, latex (rubber) condoms can cause irritation for people with latex allergies or sensitivities. And sometimes the lube on certain types of condoms may be irritating.

If you're allergic to latex, try switching brands or using plastic condoms. Condoms and female condoms made from soft plastics like polyurethane, polyisoprene, and nitrile are latex-free. You can get non-latex condoms in most of the same places where standard condoms are sold.

Teenage Girls & STDs

There seems to be a multitude of studies concerning teenage girls and sexually transmitted diseases lately which would be making me very nervous if I had teenagers right about now. A new study from the Indiana University School of Medicine recently demonstrated that approximately half of teenaged girls contract a sexually transmitted disease within the two year span following their first sexual encounter. Usually, these girls contract an STD by the time they are fifteen years old.

The study which spanned up to eight years had 386 teenaged girls from urban areas, all between the ages of 14 and 17. Results from the study showed that approximately fifty percent of these girls became infected with a sexually transmitted disease within the two years after their first sexual experience. The three most common sexually transmitted diseases in these cases were Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhoeae), Chlamydia trachomatis (Chlamydia) and Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoiasis). The most contracted STD from this list was Chlamydia.

Dr. Wanzhu Tu, one of the researchers from the study states, “Repeated infections were very common. Within 4 to 6 months (depending on the organism) after treatment of the previous infection, a quarter of the women were re-infected with the same organism.” Tu stresses that as soon as a teenaged woman becomes sexually active, they are at risk of contracting an STD; however, he notes that information about when a young girl should start getting screened for STDs is lacking. He states, “These young women are vulnerable to STDs, but because of their younger age, they may not be perceived by health care providers as having STD risk, and thus are not screened in a timely manner.” Results from the study suggest that it is vital that teenaged girls receive STD treatments and screenings earlier. He notes, “For urban adolescent women, STD screening (especially for chlamydia) should begin within 1 year after first intercourse and infected individuals should be retested frequently, preferably every 3 to 4 months. To my knowledge, this study provides the first data on the timing of the initial STD and subsequent STDs following the onset of sexual activity in urban adolescent women.”

A study that appeared alongside these findings highlights a program that was highly successful in lessening sexual behavior deemed risky amongst young African American girls between the ages of 15 and 21. Those women who chose to participate in this accompanying study came from an Atlanta-based sexual health clinic. They were enrolled in two therapy sessions in group settings and also were able to receive support via telephone calls. In addition, they received pamphlets to distribute to their sexual partners that were used to encourage them to get tested and treatment for STDs.

Dr. Bonita Stanton from Wayne State University feels this study had many exciting findings and results. She was enthusiastic because it lessened the rate of Chlamydia infections (both recurring and initial). In addition, many of the participants reported higher rates of contraceptive (condom) use. An extra benefit is that it lowered the number of teenaged girls who douched on a regular basis. Many researchers have pointed out that douching actually increases one’s risk of contracting an STD. What Stanton finds most exciting is the fact that those teenaged girls who went through the program were successful at convincing their partners to get tested and treatment for STDs.

Use Condoms in Navarati

 A Busy Sunday !!! Little Boring while little Interesting. Can't include this in any one of the category. There's a number of plans I make to be executed on the weekends but I don't think that I'll be ever successful in accomplishing any of them. I don't know why do my planning fails at the moment when it is most required to be in the process and completion. Let's try in the future. Today, cleaned the house and now I am writing this Blog. After this, I'll bathe and then I'll move towards Inorbit, Vashi. Today, the author - Rashmi Bansal (Stay Hungry Stay Foolish, Connect the Dots) is going to visit Inorbit's Crossword kiosk. Hope I'll get the chance to talk to her personally. Let's see what happens. As I'll be returning late from there, I am excited to experience the Mumbai in the late night. After that, I'll join the Jaagran - Mata Ki Chowki organized by our society. It will be fun. After returning from there, I'll publish one or two blog posts- if its possible. So a quite busy day with lots of different activities. I am loving this. Lets come to the topic for which all of you are excited. ;-)

            Recently, I came to know from one of my friend who is working as a social organizer in Mumbai that Condom machines are going to be installed in all the big grounds and clubs where big party for Daandiya is organized as Navratri has arrived. I laughed at this news first. But after that when I started researching about this, I came to know about many facts. They are funny while serious too.

             Dandiya is the time when parents allow their children to stay out for late nights and thus with parent's consent , these youngsters enjoy the dandiya party for late nights. Parents never ask about why are they so late in the house as they know this is the festival time and there is no use of restricting and ceasing children to play dandiya and enjoy the parties. Dandiya is the time when boys and girls wear the best dresses. For all the days, they have a new dress to wear. The beauty parlors earn the most in this period. The girls apply the best make up and try to look the best amongst all the girls present at the ground playing sticks with their friends. Mostly, the teenagers come together with their partner at such clubs so that they can have the best company to play dandiya with and after the show is over they can enjoy long rides in the late night and can spend time together. 

             But, the story doesn't stop here. Sometimes, these love birds cross the limit and get into intimacy with each other. They start kissing and loving their partner. There was a time when Love was defined as looking into the partner's eyes and talking everything you want to share with the special person. Holding the hand used to be the biggest success. But in today's genre, Love doesn't seems to be mutual appreciation of the partners through eye contact, but it means kissing, smooching, going from the face to the cleavage, pressing and sucking breast and sharing the bed together without cloths. It is hard to stop this people as they find their space to do such things. During dandiyas, the girls come with the most sexy looks and the boys come in the most handsome looks. Girls believe in exposing their milk tankers and attracting the boys. Boys are weak by heart (lolz) and thus they get attracted to the girls so easily that they start kissing and start loving their partners. This leads to Sex sometimes. As they aren't prepared for this, they don't carry any protection with them and hence they perform direct Sex which results in pregnancy.

            The highest rates of abortion is observed during the next 2 months of Navratri. Yaa, I can relate to this season. Even now-a-days, Dandiya is being played in my society and I can see beautiful girls. Even I can't resist myself but as I have no legal approach to ask them for intimacy, I shut my feelings and sit quietly. But I can understand the boys and girls who are committed. There is no chance to back up. You will have to get into loving positions as your partner has the best looks on the day to seduce you and appeal you for sex.(I think I am frankly speaking. Sorry Adults if you aren't liking my liberty to speak). 

             Every one knows that this is going to happen and thus some NGOs and some governmental bodies have implanted condom machines outside such grounds and clubs so that boyfriends can have the fun with their partners without getting caught into danger situations as pregnancy and abortion of their girlfriends. So, all the boys and girls, dandiya is the best time to have sex and being physical with your partners as the condom machines has come to you, you'll not have to search for them at public toilets and other places. You are free now. Some people may be thinking that what a worst crap I am that I am supporting this people for the wrong activities which can spoil their future. I know that no one is going to listen to my restriction of not having sex. If I'll say this, I'll be termed as Gay and Non-sexy person. So its better to haan-mein-haan-milaana than giving a lecture to control your sexual parts and be in limits. And even I am a youngster, Single hu toh kya hua, Sex kisko nahi pasand??

             So, please USE CONDOMS DURING SEX IN NAVRATRI !!! Best of Luck to you and your partner. 

          Thanks.
