@NJ5: Well yes, sex itself isn't that much of a problem, but the interaction as a whole. However, the one who's poking in, is generally in a lot more safer position than the one who's getting it in. And condoms offer about 97% protection for pregnancies, so it's basically the same for HIV (on where it protects).

If 97% is accurate, that's pretty bad... you have sex with 10 infected people (or with one infected person 10 times) and your chances of getting HIV are 1 in 4.

 


That 97% rate is actually the rate for perfect use for the course of a year. So if you use only condoms for birth control for a year and have sex regularly, always using a condom properly, there is a 3% chance of pregnancy. The practical rate is something more like 80% protection. Anyway, it's about pregnancy only, and in no way represents protection against HIV or other STIs.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
