Do you feel pretty knowledgeable about safe sex? Of course you do, right? But wait, according to a landmark study of people ages 18-29, many young adults have some seriously dangerous assumptions and beliefs about pregnancy and STD prevention.

The one about 2 condoms gets me everytime. And of recent I've been hearing the infertile one alot. Guy cums in girl two or 3 times and she figures she is infertile then unexpectedly she gets pregnant or guy cums in lots of girls and none get pregnant so he figures he can't impregnante anyone so she believes it and lets him cum in her and then ... :P

Stupidness from big people that should know better. But I've been hearing about the infertile one ALOT recently.

Myth: “Being on the Pill is more risky to a woman’s health than pregnancy or childbirth.“

(More than one-third [37 percent] of single young adults say that taking the Pill for a year is riskier to a woman’s health than having a baby.)

Fact: Having a baby is 20 times more risky for women than taking birth control pills for a year.

I think this is a pretty stupid point.

where do you expect they learn?

most of their parents don't even know what people think they ought to be teaching their children. Add that to the serious discomfort parents feel in discussing safer sex with children.... and there has been much advancement in safer sex and reproductive knowledge in just the past 20 years. So, if you're out of the loop you don't know what you've missed. So in the absence of knowledge, , rumour reigns.

Sitting around talking about sex one day I had a group of 35+ yr old's tell me that if a woman orgasms right after the man ejaculates, it reduces the risk of pregnancy :P
