All surveyed teens in Walla Walla said they would wear a condom if they were asked to. Most teens in Walla Walla wear a condom every time they have sex. When it comes to oral sex, 3x as many people said they always or most of the time wear a condom compared to what surveyed youth thought their peers would do. 

​

So go ahead and ask your partner to wear a condom.  They are cheap (sometimes free), have no side effects, and can prevent pregnancy and STDs.  Birth control pills can only help prevent pregnancy .   Condoms can help prevent STD transmission during oral sex as well-- STDs can be passed between partners orally . Remember,  if you want to wear a condom, make sure you have a condom with you.



Here are some different ways you can ask/tell your partner to wear a condom, some more humorous than others:    

      *"Do you have the condom we can use?"

      *" Can we wear a condom tonight?"

     *" Do you have protection?" 

      *" If you don't suit up for the game, you can play alone."

      *"no condom=no sex."
