There are twelve million cases of sexually transmitted diseases every year. The AIDS epidemic is reaching monstrous proportions, and efforts at making sure we all wear condoms aren’t going to safeguard anybody. The failure rate of condoms when it comes to preventing pregnancy is somewhere between 15 and 26 percent. And the HIV virus is 450 times smaller than sperm. God’s call to remain faithful to our spouses protects us from the pain of such epidemics.
