People who use the term “safe sex” who are modifying semantics to inaccurately portray the realities. It’s not “safe sex,” when one uses modern safeguarding techniques. I very much wish “safe sex”
was called “safer sex,” because that would portray the reality and might convince more people to wait. That might save lives.
On the other hand, people might feel safer with promiscuous behavior if they think they’re practicing “safe sex.” The risk of them receiving an STD increases substantially if they have more partners.
Semantics matter

. We need words that portray the realities, not words that hide them.
