It’s a Saturday night, it’s getting about that time for the club to close and you’ve been eyeing this girl, or like most gentlemen, being attached to this girl all night.

You say a little this and that and she agrees to roll with you to your dorm. You already have it planned out.

A little this and that happens, and you ready to get it going, but there’s one little problem; you don’t have any condoms.

So here’s the question; what do you do about it” But the twist is, not only you don’t buy, your friend don’t either, so now what?

Let’s be real here, people want to kick it, have fun, and end it on a high note. I’m going to state my stance again and say I’m all for it; but again, can we be smart about it and wrap it up?

The Health Center has condoms for everyone to use and they’re free. Now, I know it’s not the best quality. Nobody likes to use Durex and Lifestyles – they suck, I’m aware.

That shouldn’t be your excuse not to use protection. I was told that the gas station behind the dorms ask that you have ID. That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard within the first six weeks of the year. Asking for some dang ID just to protect yourself? I mean, really?

C’mon bruh, if they say no, you’re not going to want to walk  back to the dorms and again to the gas station. We too lazy for that. Then guys end up saying, “oh don’t worry, I’ll pull out.”

WRONG, WRONG. I don’t think a lot of people are aware that when you stick it in, you pre-ejaculate. That’s right, every guy pre-ejaculates. I’m going to spit a little knowledge to y’all. Every man does it, however it does not contain any sperm.

Now from what I have read, it can pick up the sperm that is still in the urethra from a previous time that you have ejaculated. Another source states there is a one in 10 chance that you can get pregnant from this. So no matter what, wrap it up.

Plus, with the use of condoms, y’all be protecting yourselves from STI or STD — really don’t matter what you call it — same difference.

I’ve done some digging, and the mess I’ve found is ridiculous, especially around 15-24 years of age. From January to September of last year — 2011 — for those that’s slow, there was 316 reported cases of STD; reminder, reported cases; which means somebody could be having a little something and not even know it.

We got to be smart around here.  I’m not trying to scare anyone or nothing, all I’m saying is use common sense, and don’t mess around with a person you just met at Vibe.

There’s dirty people all around here. Having multiple partners at once or whatever isn’t cool, bruh. Remember, it only takes one and you’re screwed. Females, have some self-respect, don’t be falling for these fellas mouth-piece, or in better words — don’t just automatically trust in the words that they say.

Now, if you just want to have fun, then do that, but I’ll be damn I get on Facebook and see a status from a girl trying to sound all deep and philosophical about “lessons learned” or “guys are worthless” because I’m warning you now, and if something happens, then it sounds like a personal problem and you need to keep that nonsense to yourself.

I’m not trying to knock anyone, hustle or prevent anyone from getting some, all I am saying is be smart and safe. I’m going to end it like this: Safe sex ain’t safe sex without latex.
