Everything would be totally different, such as the population, diseases, sexual lives of people Thats why condoms are one of the most important inventions in this world.First, condoms can control the birth rates efficiently. For example, in the United States, the birth rate has fallen steadily since the baby boom, from 3.6 births per woman in 1960 to 2.0 today (Navarro). Or just under the replacement level, at which a population replaces itself from one generation to the next. This entire reason is because of the condoms. The population would be 1.5-2 time greater than now. This world will be very crowded if there were no condoms. Maybe there would be 14 kids in a family. Parents could only afford for some of them to go to school and even some of some of them would die of hunger in Africa. There would be not enough seats for all the kids when they go to school. You would need wait to three weeks to make an appointment with your doctor. The traffic would be unbelievably horrible. So, condoms do change the world and make everyones life better today.Disease is a very tough topic for all human beings. Condoms actually give a second life to human beings. It protects sexual partners from infected diseases. Such as HIV and hepatitis B. Sexually transmitted diseases affect 12 million men and women in the United States each year. (Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Brochure. U.S Department of Health & Human Services. December 1990.) About two-thirds of the people with AIDS in the United States got the disease during sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Experts believe that many of these people could have avoided the disease by using condoms. (Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Brochure). Anyone could become infected through sexual intercourse with an infected person. If they have many sexual partners, it will increase the risk of more people becoming infected. A condom acts as wall to keep blood, or semen, or vaginal fluids from passing from one person to the other during intercourse. These fluids can carry many viruses with them. Thus, condoms are important for preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.”Condoms are also important for sexual life of couples. Condoms are a good way to protect you from unplanned pregnancy. In some situations between couples or sexual partner, unplanned pregnancy happened some times. There are too many babies born every year in Arica because they dont have access to condoms and birth control. Condoms are cheaper than birth control pills (For example, 60 durex condoms pack is $18.99 on Amazon. One tablet birth control pill is $20). So, condoms are a cheap and efficient way to deal with this problem.Overall, since the condoms were created, it had helped humans to have a better life. And most people always ignore the meaning of condoms. The world would be totally different without condoms. This is the reason why condoms are one of the most important inventions.Work Cited“Navarro, Mireya. Environmental Group Breaks the Silence on Population Control.
