Everywhere I find on the internet says that condoms, when used properly and don’t break, are only 98% effective.
That means if you have sex once a week you’re just as well off as having no protection once a year.
Are 2% of condoms randomly selected to have holes poked in them?
What’s going on?
In: Biology
Even 98% seems low. If I am reading correctly then out of 100 female/ fertile sex workers, two will fall pregnant each year.
That is a lot of semen getting where it shouldn’t. This implies (to me) a much higher than acceptable risk.
Is there anyone here know more sex workers than I do, and can speak to this?
Or do these statistics deliberately exclude professionals?
