			Every so often something strikes home.  The other day a friend told me of their first penetrative sexual act.  "We forgot to use a condom at first" I was told. 
 
I was more than surprised.  I have always spoken to them of the need for a condom, especially since the partner was of unknown sexual history.  The additional complication is that there was a potential for impregmation from the act, despite it not leading initially to orgasm. 
 
I wanted to remind us all:  Precum can contain spermatazoa, in sufficient quantities to impregmate.  (impregnate a GIRL< dummy!).  All bodily fluids have the capability to pass infective agents if the person is themselves infected (or a carrier!  Remember Typhoid Mary?). 
 
It struck me, yet again, that condoms are the last thing on our minds when we engage in a sexual act with a partner of unknown history. 
 
Why? 
 
I think I will contruct a survey, soon, for the front page.
