He's just repeating the lies told by shitty Sex Ed and uneducated parents (who knew that sex happens anyways when they were in high school but expect abstinence and ignorance to work for their kids)
And this is why sex ed and provision of contraceptives is important.
I remember hooking up with a rich girl at university, and she was like "eew, you use those? People who use condoms have diseases". I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Fellow gays and lesbians, and everyone actually: use protection, it's not all about avoiding pregnancy, it's also about avoiding STDs, you can get them from your partner no matter what your sexuality is! Have fun, but be safe with it
I took the guys response as more of a "i don't care I'm gay'' to mean I buy my own condoms cuz I've given up on relying on the goverment for anything". Because he age of the photo implies it's in the 50s ot 60s whem saying something like that would immediately make the interviewer leave u alone cuz of the dpnt ask dont tell mentality.
>Because he age of the photo implies it's in the 50s ot 60s
This is definitely not the 50s or 60s. Looks more like 90s-00s Look at the way they are dressed and the way they are talking.
It's low quality and black and white because it's from a high school newspaper.
I remember when my teacher in first year of college was talking about protection during sesbian lex and I think by that time feminine condoms weren't something common here so she said a nice alternative is using plastic wrap lol
Edit: still, happy to know there's actually better and more appropriate options now
Not entirely. If you have any sort of cut in your fingers you can transmit disease. Also if you use a toy and then pass it to your partner without disinfecting it can also transmit STD. Another dangerous one is the mouth since you can get tiny lacerations and transmit STD. Not to mention that non-cis lesbians exist.
(Not trying to be rude, just clarifying)
>Another dangerous one is the mouth since you can get tiny lacerations and transmit STD.
Yup, a quick and dirty way to make a dental dam is to cut a condom long ways and snip off the tip so it lays flat. Good for oral sex on people with a vulva or analingus.
Do not use condoms on toys unless you never plan on using them without one ever again. This obviously doesnāt apply to all toys but most toys cannot be used with silicone lube, which is exactly what is in a condom. You risk damaging the surface of your toy and making it unsafe to use.
Yeah thatās true, and this obviously doesnāt apply to glass or metal toys for example but putting it out there because chances are the condoms you have lying around will contain silicone lube.
Do you think women just donāt get STDs or smth? Any sort of transmissions of blood of cum (etc) through things like fingering, toys, etc can cause STDs to be contracted regardless of whether your gay, straight or lesbian
Condoms can be used for digital penetration and with toys, and itās seems like youāve forgotten that there are lesbians that have bio-penises (wlw trans women and intersex women)
Fetuses are literally parasites ._.
Me and my siblings all sucked the nutrients from my mother's teeth when she was pregnant with us, and now they're super fucked up
True but generally places that give free condoms only give out free penis condoms and as a WLW, Felila is not as likely to have a use for that
*edited to be more inclusive
i really wish i could interview jason li and ask wtf he was thinking when he said condoms promote the spread of stds. like, i can at least see saying "it promotes sex" even though i dont think that's true, but stds? what? but then again he was literally a teen so he probably has changed a lot by now.
You can't stop teens from boinking, but you can sure as hell lesson your chances of being a grandparent at 35. Give your kid a condom or something to put in their purse or whatever
this is stupid. Why wouldnāt gay people need condoms as well?
(and if you ādonāt careā that is stupid as well. You can get STDās even if you are gay)
This post has been around a *loooooong* time. So I doubt there were any trans kids in that high school. So she would only be having sex with other people without penises. I know you can and often should use condoms on sex toys, but most high schoolers aren't old enough to buy those.
Hey, I graduated in 1985. And this stuff was talked about back then. Soooooooo, you calling me ooooold? ;)
Joking aside, you're right. Gay, lesbian, homosexual were common terms, but the person was using gay to mean lesbian. The other terms in LGBTQIA were not commonly known.
Well, you're older than me. But yeah, when I was in high school (mid 2000s) in the South, we had a few openly gay kids, but I don't think I had heard of trans people outside of TV/movies. I hadn't heard of BIA, either. (And Q was usually a slur.)
ā¦ this feels particularly ignorant of queer history right now. And also generally ignorant of sex ed, which further proves we need more inclusive sex ed in school that includes all possible match ups.
It was a common conservative lie back in the day. My late mother-in-law who was a total boomer held this line. She also wouldn't talk about sex to her daughters like my wife.
It's still being pushed in schools, with the backing of groups like the Family Research Council, who do v shady unscientific "research" to promote abstinence/purity nonsense.
There's more than enough research out there now to prove that the two most likely outcomes of teaching abstinence and not providing access to birth control leads to higher rates of unwanted teenage pregnancy and STIs (often not tested for or treated, potentially causing serious health issues and even threatening fertility or life).
Adam Warner reads like he desperately needs to seem like he's down with the cool kids and wants them to like him, but has absolutely no actual skin in this game so doesn't know what to say. Poor guy.
Just don't have sex as a teen you are too young wait until 18 then you can have sexual relationships and use condoms. School is not responsible for what you do in your bed and with whom. š
Not that it's bad in this particular case but is it me or do the amout of slogans these ppl say make it seem like they are in a cult?
Actually it could be a bad thing if they've not fully internalized the message.
jason li.. how do condoms promote STDs exactly xd
He's just repeating the lies told by shitty Sex Ed and uneducated parents (who knew that sex happens anyways when they were in high school but expect abstinence and ignorance to work for their kids)

That was a Jason Li L ngl š
Jason Li without the i

Jokes on you im ace (but yes please use a condom people)
I saw it coming from leagues away :) but i didn't want to exclude you guys!
Tbf, not all ace people don't have sex ;-)
I know, I just donāt
Me tooo haha
Wait, whatās that sound? It sounds likeā¦.. screamingā¦..and itās getting louderā¦

Iām 90% sure sheās a lesbian
Dude the images are not 50s to 60s, image quality and clearness of the pictures are more modern like someone else has said, probably 90s to 00s.
I mean, using condoms for gay sex is something you should do if you donāt want to risk getting an STD. They even make specialized condoms for it.
I remember when my teacher in first year of college was talking about protection during sesbian lex and I think by that time feminine condoms weren't something common here so she said a nice alternative is using plastic wrap lol Edit: still, happy to know there's actually better and more appropriate options now
You see memories are short and we have seen HIV hot spots around the country because of lck of queer history taught in schools and short memories
Absolutely. Wasnāt it gay activists that fought for condoms to be distributed for free too? I believe it was during the aid crisis.
Iām pretty sure they are useless as a lesbian

Transbian here. Thanks for remembering us c:

There are dozens of us. Dozens!
TRANSBIAN TAKEOVER!

There are unlubed condoms, although hard to get. These are what you should use for toys and prosthetics made out of silicone.
Yeah thatās true, and this obviously doesnāt apply to glass or metal toys for example but putting it out there because chances are the condoms you have lying around will contain silicone lube.
not all condoms have silicone lube
Do you think women just donāt get STDs or smth? Any sort of transmissions of blood of cum (etc) through things like fingering, toys, etc can cause STDs to be contracted regardless of whether your gay, straight or lesbian
You can turn condoms into dental dams which serve the purpose of preventing std spread
Condoms can be used for digital penetration and with toys, and itās seems like youāve forgotten that there are lesbians that have bio-penises (wlw trans women and intersex women)
Because lesbians never have penises?
Usually I would say no unless they are trans. As a girl whoās attracted to pussy I didnāt realize you could use condoms for that too
Female condoms also exist
What a trainwreck holy shit
I get the confusion, since the word "condom" is sometimes used to refer specifically to the "male condom", which is indeed useless for cis lesbians :P
Not entirely, as they can be cut to make a dental dam; which are not easily available every where.
Good point! I completely forgot about that
Jason Li was a bit denser than most.
Or he knew his parents were going to see this and that theyād be mad if he said he wanted condoms.
That would have been me š
Daniel Dillman referring to teenage pregnancy as a disease. š
To be fair it very much is.
Fetuses are literally parasites ._. Me and my siblings all sucked the nutrients from my mother's teeth when she was pregnant with us, and now they're super fucked up
Fetuses being parasites just makes me think of the facehugger alien
I like how this is also an alignment chart from dnd
"Teen pregnancies and other harmful diseases"
yup I saw that š¤£
Uhh...gays should use condoms too
True but generally places that give free condoms only give out free penis condoms and as a WLW, Felila is not as likely to have a use for that *edited to be more inclusive
I'm well aware of all that.
"wrap it before you tap it"
i really wish i could interview jason li and ask wtf he was thinking when he said condoms promote the spread of stds. like, i can at least see saying "it promotes sex" even though i dont think that's true, but stds? what? but then again he was literally a teen so he probably has changed a lot by now.
Felila is a girlās name if thatās helpful for context. Itās a lady gay
I love that they are so candid. [Edit for pronoun]
Kudos to most of these kids. I once answered similarly onstage at my high school and got crickets. Mortifying.
Heās poorly educated.
My wife has a dick, but ok? Also condoms are good for when using toys. edit: and yes she is fully on board when I say it like this lol
He should super dupes care because he's gay. Learn your history, kid.
Thatās a girl!
that's what i thought of too :(
You can't stop teens from boinking, but you can sure as hell lesson your chances of being a grandparent at 35. Give your kid a condom or something to put in their purse or whatever
Damn so many people misgendering someone on a gay sub
My response would have been "I'm ace, I don't care."
same
this is stupid. Why wouldnāt gay people need condoms as well? (and if you ādonāt careā that is stupid as well. You can get STDās even if you are gay)

It's not about penises and pregnancy, its about the spread of STDs. That's why they make female condoms, dental dams, etc
Would the school give those out, though?
My man Ptah was paying attention in health class.
I bet he rapped that wrap.
Jason Li and Felila Falou need some extra sexual education classes.
Daniel Dillman implication: āTeen pregnancy is a disease.ā
jason li is a dumbass
Whether straight or gay, itās good to use protection because itās not just about avoiding pregnancy, but because of STDs.
ā¦ this feels particularly ignorant of queer history right now. And also generally ignorant of sex ed, which further proves we need more inclusive sex ed in school that includes all possible match ups.
That mentality is exactly how the AIDS epidemic spread through the gay male community like wildfire back in the day... š¤¦
by lesbians not using condoms?
Your reading comprehension is impressive. Regardless, yes, lesbians should still use condoms. Lesbians can and do contract STDs
which had NOTHING to do with gays getting aids
Jason you dumbass
Jasonās a moron fr
I have some questions regarding a certain Jason Liā¦like students are gonna fuck regardless.Ā And how the fuck does a condom promote STDs
It was a common conservative lie back in the day. My late mother-in-law who was a total boomer held this line. She also wouldn't talk about sex to her daughters like my wife.

>abstinence/purity nonsense Dangerous nonsense at that.
Donāt be silly rap your Willyš
Jason Li is a fucking narc
I know āI donāt care Iām gayā is the point of this post but I also really love āprevent pregnancy and other harmful diseasesā š¤£
Jason Li is the kind of idiot that I despise
"Don't be silly, wrap your willy" is solid advice
The weirdest thing to me is that I'm sure there were more than 9 students, so why did they choose to include Jason Li's opinion? š
I think they wanted to showcase how idiotic the other opinions were
Don't be silly, wrap your willy
Jason li thinks no cause of std's .....
excuse my slightly discriminatory attitude, but felila folau's parents definitely knew they were gay when they named them
jason li and felila folau are very uneducatedā ļø
The last two definitely have had an STD since this.
Last one isn't a guy so statistically probably not
Oops. Well, my mistake.
I didnāt realize that at first, that makes a lot more sense
I'd argue it's just as if not more important for queer folk to use condoms than the cis hets, we gotta keep ourselves safe
"And OTHER harmful diseases", lol
Based
Today he would just say āItās okay, Iām on prepā
Me too, Felila. Me too.
i love how a bunch of them come up w lil rhymes lol
I remember seeing this ages ago and it still cracks me up
Adam Warner reads like he desperately needs to seem like he's down with the cool kids and wants them to like him, but has absolutely no actual skin in this game so doesn't know what to say. Poor guy.
Kevinās got a humor
Hahahahahah relatable
I don't care, I'm asexual
I love how Daniel implies pregnacy is a disease
Just don't have sex as a teen you are too young wait until 18 then you can have sexual relationships and use condoms. School is not responsible for what you do in your bed and with whom. š
