The short answer is "No." There is only "safer sex." For sexually transmitted diseases, using a condom will reduce your risk TREMENDOUSLY, but will not make it disappear. As for getting pregnant... condoms have a 12% failure rate. If that's all you use--- you're looking at a 1 in 10 chance of getting pregnant. Is that safer? Yes. Is that safe? No. For pregnancy... use multiple methods. It will decrease your chances of getting pregnant greatly. Diaphragm, pull-out, condom, spermicide, the pill, Fertility Awareness Method, etc... use as many as you can, and you will be "safer." There is no such thing as 'safe sex.' COndoms break way to much. Condoms can come off. Trust me trying to get a condom out of vaginal cavity is not easy or fun. No there is no 100% safe sex condoms do provide a lesser chance of contracting diseases and getting pregnant but diseases such as herpes can still be transmitted even with the use of a condom so please be extremely careful with the choices that you make concerning your partner and the methods of protection you use hope this helps, good luck, and GOD BLESS!!!

Can you have unprotected sex right before your period and the guy ejaculate and not get pregnant?

I don't think that it is safe right before your period. There isn't really a safe time to have sex because the safest time is a few days before the egg is in ovulation, But since no one knows when that time will be, it's not really that safe. But you can take your chances if you have a regular occurring period.

It depends on the situation. If you are in a relationship then by all means if both of you are ready go ahad and have safe sex.

My point is, if you are really horny, you always have sex on you.


Why doesn't ''safe sex'' protection eliminate the risk of STDs?

The "safety" in this case is relative. What is called "safe sex" can greatly reduce the chance of getting STDs, which of course makes such practices worthwhile to follow, but you can't really reduce it to zero. In other words, following safe practices is much better (much safer) than not following them.
