Consumer Reports: Condoms

[greenstorm]

Thank gods. So tired of sex info (STD, contraceptives, etc) being relegated to the realm of witchdoctory and superstition (dude, the mouth *is* a mucus membrane).

Good info is always available.

The key is the same as any research: Check the sources. Do they say where they got the info from? How was it attained? What are they trying to prove? What is their interest?

I tend to find 2-3 'good sources' (lots of research, sex positive, non-corporate) and combine the information.

Planned Parenthood, and sites aimed as sex ed with a sex neutral/positive slant are usually good. I also find talking to people at places like the BC STD Clinic is helpful, b/c they have seen it all and tend to keep themselves up to date.
