I’m sure you’re taking the necessary precautions; but in case anybody reading this gets mixed ideas. Using the contraceptive pill will ONLY help prevent pregnancy. There are hundreds reasons why you should still wear a condom for sex with a new partner with unknown history. That goes for both parties!

Hundreds? No. Maybe a dozen reasons.

Every individual syphalitic rambling counts as its own reason.

Listen, it was hard enough to remember that we're calling them STIs now instead of STDs. You really expect me to memorize how many herpasyphigonnorclammyhyperaids there are out there?

There aren't really that many, but even beyond that there's only like 5 that aren't an easy fix. So I'd only county sti's as like 5 of the 1 dozen reasons.
