If you write sex, think about condoms where appropriate.

If you are catholic, join in the swell to get the edict regarding condoms revoked.

Use. And talk about them being used. 15-20 years ago in England it was still almost an underground thing, people were still offered them in barbers, boys would feel dead embarrassed having to go into a chemists to order them. 

Then came enlightenment and in particular, I remember Claire Rayner, a large, jolly and unsexy woman demonstrating how to unroll one, on BREAKFAST television.  I believe she used a banana, or a cucumber. It was a revelation.  It was suddenly Cool to buy them.  You could buy them in supermarkets, in pubs, and you no longer had to blush about it.  You were doing good.

I just wish it was more plainly said here in the US, more often.
I know a lot of the gay community are sick of hearing about it (and some of the younger ones are ignoring it, dangerously) but the ones who really need it are in no danger whatever of getting any info--the rednecks up there chanting hateful messages outside courthouses, for isntance.
