I totally agree with all the views of Mr Ricky Poca of Cebu Daily News on the article ‘The Condom Campaign’ posted last March 14, 2010 particularly on condoms promoting promiscuity.
Sexual act is a total, mutual self-giving within marriage. It is born out of true love. If your loved one has HIV or AIDS, why should you inconvenient your loved one if he/she is very sick? Surely he/she is too sick to appreciate the pleasures of physical intimacy. If one is sick, he/she needs a higher level of affection than a physical one. Due to the great suffering due to the illness, he/she needs prayer and true friendship more than anything else. If you are the one who is sick, would you want your loved one to be infected? You love your husband/wife too much that you will sacrifice your needs for the health and well-being of the one you love. When you are suffering a lot, definitely, the least you want is to happen is for your loved one to experience the same suffering you are going through.
Truly, those who use condoms to avoid disease are strangers to each other.
