Warn public of ?condom failure,? says bishop

[KeithD]

The most common condom for sale in the Philippines is called "Trust"..!! Well I for one certainly would not place my trust in "Trust"..!! Regardless of the reasons behind the Church's stand on this issue they are in fact correct because these things are poorly made and burst very easily. (So im told ..!!!) I could also say that they are too small but that might sound wrong..!! jmho

So if you don't use them then you are working off hearsay, and scare stories like those from the church

The very small number that do burst are due to the fact they are incorrectly put on, or are using an oil based lubricant (and if you ain't got her wet enough to start with you're doing something wrong, or you've put it in the wrong hole!), and when used as per the instructions you will have around a 98% success rate, which is 98% better than not using one

Just what the doc would have said ! Of course the "success" is not just in preventing AIDS but also other nasty sexually transmitted diseases

Put in a "nutshell" ... the Numero Uno fault here, is not the condOMS, but the bishops' failure to condONE [them]!!

Are you serious..!! We're not talking about Durex or any other western brand made to certain specifications, we are talking about Philippine condoms....!!! Have you tried them..?? I have and they DO BURST..!! and i dont use lubricant. After 35 years, I dont think im doing anything wrong either. I certainly dont "put it in the wrong hole..!!" I came back to the original post with what i thought was a kinda tongue in cheek reply to what is rather an amusing topic.... didnt expect this kind of condescending reply..!!!

ps : i didnt say that i dont use condoms. I said that i didnt use Philippine condoms. I always carry durex with me and advise anyone to do the same.

All joking aside, Catholic Bishops are the last people we should listen to in respect to sex or morality. These are the very same people who parade around Africa and spread the message "Aids may be bad, but not nearly as bad as a condom". They also make false claims that the HIV virus can spread through the microscopic holes within the wall of a condom (which is a blatant lie).

And whilst they do this, they are complicit in the cover up of some of the most vile and willful acts of child molestation.

Have a look at this if you want more information about the Catholic Church. A good debate that raises some interesting questions..
