Chances of a Condom Breaking
What are the chances of a condom breaking, or failing?

The statistics seem to run between 5% and 2% failure rates when used perfectly.
Much worse odds when not used correctly.
Ask yourself this one: If there were a 5% chance of you getting a disease that will be with you for life... would it be worth it?
You can live through pregnancy, but some of the other things you can get through sex such as HIV/AIDS and HPV (Which can cause cancer) are things you may not live through.
Now that 5% is looking pretty ugly, isn't it? :-(
As if that wasn't the scary part: HPV (Genital warts and cancer) and herpes (both kinds) aren't prevented by condoms in all cases.
You must be a pretty smart person to be asking these questions BEFORE you do something stupid instead of after, like most people.
Good for you!
Now use that big brain you have and make sure you only have sex with someone who gets tested for STDs in your presence, no matter what they say about their past.
People lie.
Horny people lie more.
In this case, people's lies can kill you.
Thanks for giving me hope that not everyone is an idiot about this. :-)

About 2.3%. Pretty good odds! Both a condom and the use of birth control medication can make the possibility of pregnancy almost 99% impossible. Of course, for protection against STI's, condoms are still always your best bet.
