No side-effects, no movement in the food chain, safe for pregnant creatures

Porcine Zona Pellucida Vaccine:Why in the heck don't we (as humans) have this option? Yes, it wouldn't work for immunocompromised persons, and 90% is not incredibly excellent. Look at diaphragms, though. Success rates between 83% and 94%. Condoms are between 85% and 98% and withdrawl is between 72% and 96%.

Here's a table form of that info, presented as number of women who get pregnant out of every 100 using that method. A version of it is in every package of The Pill. The first time I read it I was shocked to see that withdrawal actually was so effective.

But! As I found out the hard way (har har har) condoms protect against more than just pregancy and STD's. Turns out my body is ultra-sensitive to sexual intercourse and I get UTI's when I don't make my partner use a condom. Condom = yes, and I have no problems. There are more issues with sex than pregnancy and AIDS. They're not as serious, but they still affect your life.

Urinating after intercourse didn't help?

[riot_siren]

Nope, because my body is special. And by that I mean my body is stupid. I had a choice: use condoms and never get a UTI or take antibiotics after intercourse and wait for my body to grow accustomed to them, get infections again, and go on increasingly higher doses/types of antibiotic until the bacteric on my body is so immune to antibiotics that I die of a sinus infection. Which would you choose?

Sinus infection, totally!

I mean: Latex!

(Because, if you don't die from a sinus infection, you get to live longer, which means you get to have more sex!)
