i haven't changed much before and after my kids were born, hobbywise. im actually spending more money on my hobby overall while keeping a good balance. like in a long relationship with your significant other, the solution is not to keep desires inside and just do wat you want when you can with a budget in mind... and get as much rest whenever you can.

Just a sample, since you like math...

1/4 women have HSVII, statistically.
90% are unaware.
Condoms reduce HSV transmission by around 60%.

So, when you wear a condom, you are reducing the risk of contracting just ONE disease by around 15%.

I'll wrap it for 15%.

Of the people I have spoken to who contracted HSVII, NONE of them wore condoms regularly.

Wrong! The pullout method is not a joke. It's a way of life!

In all seriousness, all guys should be using condoms

I would wrap it for a one-nighter, but in a relationship, wrapping is out of the question. Besides, it just feels better to ride free!

this statement makes me think you just don't know what's out there. I guess after spending time in the clinic and rotating through L&D, I have a different perspective than the lay person, but still.

Wrap it. It's cheap insurance. It's certainly not fool-proof, but it's better than nothing.

But you most certainly can reduce your chances of catching an STD by being choosy with who you stick your pecker in.

For example, I would pound Venus Williams... but I wouldn't poke Lindsay Lohan with even a stick.

Choose life!
