A member asked:

Is it safe to have sex with only condom? im not on birth control and im a virgyn

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Define "safe": Condoms reduce but do not prevent spread of all STI's and they have a higher failure rate as birth control than the pill or IUD. Safe will depend on the context of the situation. It is certainly better than no protection at all.
