Overall, Condoms aren't as safe as people think they are. I mean they're better than bareback, but not really as much as you are lead to believe.
Do the math of when you don't use the condom and there's no contraceptive then.
I haven't had condoms used since... wow. I probably only used them during maybe a quarter of the time I was with my ex, and that was the first quarter for a 2 year span.. slightly longer because we did have sex off and on just because.
I used to be on birth control when I had insurance, and it was great. Going bareback and finishing inside is the best thing ever.
Now it's just bareback and pulling out. Is it as effective as a condom? Absolutely not.
I do have to give condoms credit though, specifically Trojan - their ads are pretty awesome in driving people to want to buy them.

Sometimes their ads will be like 'oh shit, that sounds ni- oh wait, it's a condom.'
