>Yes, I agree with you whole-heartedly. But I do think there may be a bit of truth (a small amount) about not using a condem with sex. I of course don't condone this, but I think the deep intamacy felt when not using a condem may contribute a bit to feeling 'good...less depressed'. Also, let's look at this way...maybe the women who don't use condems are in very long-term, stable relationships. Just some general thoughts...again not suggesting to not use condems.
