    DON'T RELY ON YOUR SEXUAL PARTNERS TO USE EFFECTIVE BIRTH CONTROL.

This is important! Unless you're very, very comfortable with your partner and in a long-term relationship, always be as safe as possible. Case in point, hooked up with a friend this past weekend and she waits until after to mention that it's been a month since she took birth control. This could have ended poorly if not for the above.

Not risking getting a girl pregnant is a good tradeoff for using a condom, folks.
