So I was going to conclude that more prevention is good (though if more females are using effective long term contraception they might not be protecting themselves from STDs.)Lindsay Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437693272797130833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-91938663074515445182012-06-19T15:56:33.466+12:002012-06-19T15:56:33.466+12:00Interesting they say don't bring morality into...Interesting they say don't bring morality into the argument.
