I spend a lot of time talking about the fact that you can have great safe sex. However, I can't actually speak from experience, as I've never actually had unprotected intercourse or many other kinds of unprotected sex. Furthermore, even if I could, it wouldn't exactly be a scientific statement. Therefore, I was thrilled to see that researchers at Indiana University recently surveyed American adults to compare the quality of protected sex to that of unprotected sex. Even better, they found that people said that they liked having protected sex just as much as unprotected sex - it was just as arousing, just as satisfying, and men had just as easy a time getting erections. Now, I suppose, the next question to ask is why more people don't realize just how hot safe sex can be...
