  • Only if you want to protect yourself from possible infection and disease.

  • Depends on whether you want to catch STDs or not 🤷‍♂️

  • You should absolutely be using condoms if you are having sex with someone you don’t know.

  • Yes you should as you don't want to get herpes

    • Condoms dont protect you against herpes.

  • The pill prevents pregnancy. Condoms prevent the transmission of STDs. Use both.

  • I personally would use one. You can never be "too safe". No method is 100% effective.

  • If you have to ask than maybe it would be best to double bag that pickle. no telling where that thing been.

  • Absolutely you don’t want to contact STD’s do you

  • Yes STDs honey be careful

  • I've always used condoms when I had sex with a girl and I wasn't in a relationship with her. That's just common sense to me. No one wants to get an STD and I also would not want to risk to make a girl pregnant. I don't know if she really used the pill and if it works good enough. Better safe than sorry, so I'll use a condom.

  • Yes, there are more issues than getting pregnant. And if they have a one night stand with you, who else have they had one with?

  • Condoms to prevent disease

  • The Pill won't stop you getting HIV, Chlamydia, syphilis, etc

  • um always? Unless you like risking STDs? Get a blood screening done before having sex with someone. Too many people aren't willing to do this which is stupid. For randoms ALWAYS keep it wrapped that should just be a no brainer. You're 19 now. Do you want to live with Herpes, HPV, Syphilis, AIDS, etc for the rest of your life? Think about it, that's major regret right there hun.

  • You should. I never used condoms for years and never got any STDs, but the risk is always there. Guess I'm just lucky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • The pill doesn’t stop stds and it’s not 100% so if you don’t want a disease or a baby then a condom sounds like a pretty good plan

  • that would not be the worst idea you ever had.
    Just to protect each other, you do not know who he was just with, nor does he know who you were just with.
    Remember you are not only having sex with him, you are having sex with the other people as well.
    It sure beats a trip to the doctor's office.

  • Yes..

  • birth control doesn’t protect against STDs… so if it’s a one night stand then I highly recommend that you use a condom

  • Yes, you should. Pill is not 100% effective, so are condoms. but combine them and you have higher chance of not getting pregnant, with an added bonus protection from STDs. Out of topic: What age did they teach sex-ed in your area?
