Good topic, Bec, thanks! I agree that it is the responsibility of both parties to have condoms available. I know I will catch hell for this (again) but I still maintain that anyone who has bareback intercourse outside an exclusive relationship is being neither responsible nor moral. "She's young, she looks clean, she tells me she's (disease-free)(a virgin)" is not an excuse for taking a chance on catching something and spreading it to someone else.
