It’s not quite as bad as what you say. After 50 times using condoms, your odds of condom failure aren’t 50%; they’re 39%.
Also, I’m pretty sure that 1% failure figure is per year, so it accounts for the average number of encounters per year. So it’s more like in 50 years of using condoms, you’d have a 39% chance of causing a pregnancy.
But still, it’s way riskier than I would be okay with. Always use multiple forms of contraception, kids.






I used to scoop up my cats and let them be a “mecha pilot.” Wherever they’d turn their heads, I’d walk in that direction. Eventually they’d catch on and use the opportunity to explore places they normally can’t reach. Sniff stuff on the walls and such.
