Do you use protection?

College students love to mix alcohol and sex. The two go hand and hand. So I'm curious- how often do college students use protection when having casual sex? I asked 5 girls and 5 boys if they would be interested in telling me how often they use protection. These were the results:

The Guys: 3 out of 5 of them say they ALWAYS use protection- drunk or sober. Their reasoning was they know too many friends who have caught STDs. Plus, they are nowhere close to ready to being a father. The other 2 said they rarely use protection when they're drunk, but almost always when they're sober. Their reasoning was they either forget or they just don't care.

The Girls: 4 out of 5 of them say they use protection every time they have sex, unless they are in a serious relationship. If they trust their boyfriend isn't cheating on them and they're on birth control, then they feel no reason why they should have to wear a condom. The 5th girl, however, admits that sometimes she doesn't use condoms- but only because she forgets to bring one.
