Use condoms for goodness’ sake!

I know I will get a beating from the Catholic Church with this column and from anti-condom people out there but hell, condoms should be worn during these modern ages.

Telling people to refrain from having sex is I truly believe hypocritical. How can we ask our teenagers not to commit pre-marital sex when they’re even better at sex than us! They know all the positions there are. They know new positions we adults are not aware of. They know all the names and terms – anything about sex.

No parent or teacher will ever claim they taught these to our young ones because sex is everywhere. Connotations of sex can be seen on TV every minute of the day -- on commercials of people kissing and of naked men and women.

Even in movies, music videos, radio, songs and print media. In fact, the need for sex education in school is worthless because today our ten-year-olds are already sex-educated. Baka tayo pa ang turuan nila tungkol sa sex!

I believe what we should drill in the minds of our young ones are the consequences of having sex, ikulit sa kanila! Tell your kids how truly difficult it is to have a child at a young age, in fact, to even have a child at all! The financial, emotional, physical and mental issues involved in bringing out a child into this world is the hardest thing and can be unbearable at times. And how else can we control the unstoppable overpopulation going on in our country na siyang lalong nagbabaon sa atin sa hirap?

Sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS are acquired unless the boy and girl are virgins, parents shouldn’t be really worried about this but it is actually the most relevant thing all of us should know. I believe there are a lot of people out there who are with HIV and they are not aware of it.

There should be a law demanding 18-year-old and above citizens of our country to undergo HIV testing so we can stop the rapid spread of this incurable disease. People should be responsible. If we are not aware we have HIV, dinadamay natin ang mga mahal natin sa buhay in the process, hinahawaan mo sila and subjecting all the members of your family and those close to you into suffering and dying from the disease.

Go have an HIV test now people! Whether or not you engaged in unprotected sex sometime in your life, malay niyo yung asawa or partner ninyo ang nagloko di ba? Before makahawa pa kayo ng ibang tao, undergo testing and if you are Negative of it, then protect yourself from that day forward. Walang mawawala sa inyo and you can only benefit.

It is alarming the surge of HIV cases in the country and in this city and the most sensible thing we can do about it is to make sure we don’t have it and protect ourselves. Not by having sex as the church suggests (because I know a lot of you out there cannot live without sex) but by using condoms when you engage in any sexual activity with people whom you’re not sure are Negative of HIV. We cannot be 100 percent sure our wives or husbands or partners don’t have HIV! Kayo ba sure na sure kayo?

The church telling people to use the natural method in family planning is okay but it really doesn’t apply to our modern times now. Because ang mga tao ngayon matitigas ang ulo, sarili nila ang sinusunod nila. Especially on the matter of their sexual life! How can you order someone when and when not to have sex!! That’s preposterous! No way, walang makiking sa ‘yo.

If the Catholic Church is right about this and people listen to them, how can they explain the unwarranted population explosion we have especially among the indigent members of our society who bear 10-12 kids and cannot even feed them?

There’s this stupid joke that the poor peoples’ pasttime is having sex, crazy but it’s true and we have all the facts to prove it. And the Catholic Church telling them to use the natural method is hahaha. The Dept. Of Health showing them how to use the condom is the answer, ligating the women or explaining the use of contraceptive pills. Those will work. I swear.

Sex is a natural part of life. It is inherent in all of us the need to have sex, especially among men. Women can stay virgins forever but no man can live without ejaculating. That’s how we humans are designed.

How else do you explain my nine-year-old nephew who told his mom that his penis is standing up upon watching the commercial of Close-up showing two people mouth-kissing?! Sex is a physiological need amongst men. And among some women today too.

The natural way of not having a child and not acquiring STD’s and AIDS doesn’t apply to the people of this 20th century anymore, it is a sad fact we have to accept. And this doesn’t mean we are bad, ungodly, uncaring, selfish people, but it is how we live now. We should be realistic about this and not try to be saints about it. There are things in life we have to conform to. Ito yung isang bagay na kailangan natin tanggapin. And do the practical, realistic, reasonable thing to solve it. Support the Department of Health in their battle!

Corruption, the destruction of our environment – these are things the Church can do something to solve and not meddle in peoples’ sex lives…. Peace!
