Ecosexuals opting not to use condoms to save plastic!

[curiousss]

Hey!

I recently came across this article called Aussie ‘Eco-Sexuals’ Are Shunning Condoms To Save The Environment Amid STI Explosion which talks about the rising popularity of “ecosexuals” who are concerned with the environmental concerns of non-biogradable condoms and compares this trend to the rising numbers of people in Australian diagnoses with Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

For me I think it’s so important we do find solutions to reduce our plastic consumption however when it comes to anything for medical or for hygiene purposes I believe we should be using top grade equipment that are mostly single use items for our safety and to avoid infection from unsterile products.

While there are other contraceptive options I also find it alarming promoting to move away from condoms because they are the only protective barriers we have to prevent BOTH unintended pregnancy and STIs!

What are your thoughts?
