Less, > The problem is they are not marketed that way. They are marketed as a way to have safe sex. If it were known ahead of time, you would not find it very satisfying, and that after a couple of 'safe' ventures many people abandon the practice for the more fleshy experience, people might not take the plunge in the first place.

Never mind the "fleshy experience" (i.e. the only thing that gets BentOver's rocks off).

The myth being portrayed in our society is that condoms in general prevent STDs. The truth is that they don't protect against herpes, genital warts, and HPV. This fact isn't publicized very much, probably because the media would rather focus on more "serious" STDs like HIV.

It also may be because the media hates to tell people to curtail their sexual activity. Monogamy is an outdated social ideal, it seems. Even Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, and John Edwards can't stay faithful, so why even try?

It's a real conflicting message, but unfortunately, pop culture sells it to the tune of billions of dollars. "It's cool to be DA MAN! It's uncool to be a PRUDE." Pretty shallow, but that's the way it is.
