:Well, how about this then. I'd agree with SJK that "safe sex" is the term used in Australia, whilst it seems that "safer sex" is more common in America. They are talking about the same practices, essentially, though in Oz the idea of abstinence until marriage is pretty much dead :)I think we can speculate that "safer sex" is preferred in the US as a nod to people who claim the only truly safe alternative is not to have sex at all outside marriage, but it'd be nice to have some historical reference to establish exactly where the preferred terminology came from. --Robert Merkel.





IMHO effective discussion and modifications to the entry. Wikipedia working as it should. :-)
