Condom statistics

I am currently in university. On the wall near the buildings main elevator they always post messages reminding us about safe sex, drinking and responsible drug use
It goes about saying that there is a 98% success rate with condoms. I find this to be an inaccruate statistic
I have dated 3 girls. and total I would say I have had sex anywhere between 100-1000 times at least
By that statistic I would have had at least one child by now. I think that condoms are much better than that
Any opinions on this?

Yeah. I've had that same question. I've asked about it too.
The answer is that if they're used properly (sober), then they're extremely effective, but as a whole, a lot of people misuse them, causing them to be less effective (throwing two on at a time or something stupid like that).
Another way to look at the stat (and I've had some people say that this is the way it's supposed to be read) is that if you take 100 couples and have them bone to their heart's desire (using condoms), 98% of them will remain baby and disease free.
Also... stop bragging, fucker.

I think birth control works better than the statistics as well. Maybe they are becoming more effective with the generations? All I know is I've had sex way more than you even and never had any scares. When she did go off the birth control she was pregnant the next month.

All the condoms I used usually broke from the hard, long overuse, so maybe that's it?

I don't use condoms anymore, but when I did they would break pretty often.

100-1000? That's a generous margin of error.
You're either using them properly, extremely lucky, or shooting blanks.

I banged the same girl hundreds of times over the course of about 2 years and I only used a condom the first time and to my knowledge she never got pregnant
Maybe I just lucked out she was on birth control though but then again there were times where she wasn't and told me she was

Condoms won't necessarily protect you from HPV, Warts, or Herpes. STD's run wild on college campuses. Food for thought.

Statistics are meaningless.you know the saying.. 150% of them are made up on the spot.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

interesting story.. I had a condom break once. Obviously was in the middle of something and felt a kind of pop but not really,it's more like something just slid over my dick way faster than either of us could move. I stopped, she said what's wrong, I said I thin the condom broke.. She proceeded to kick me dead square in the chest as hard as she could and I went flying off the bed backwards. Safe to say she was a little scared of getting pregnant.
Fun fact, that incident did lead to a kid, not directly, but I know knew what sex felt like without a condom and I wasn't going back now LOL.

I later figured out that my condoms were breaking because they were too small. I didn't say anything about it earlier because I thought people would think I was just trying to brag or something. I actually don't even think its that big. Regular condoms are made for small dicks I guess. Its like when you go to the movie theater and their soda sizes are large, X-large, or XX-large. Not small, medium, large. They couldn't sell small, medium, and large condoms because everyone would be too embarrassed to buy the small ones and there would be babies everywhere because people are using condoms that are too big for them.

Because one person isn't representative of the whole population.
You should sign up for a basic statistics class while in University.
