I don't see how you are disagreeing. We are both saying that a lot more people are having risky sex than think they are.

I guess it depends on what we call risky, I mean if someone is actively trying to get pregnant are we considering that "risky"?

Someone could be taking the necessary precautions and a mistake happens, a condom breaks, whatever. Someone could have sex with one person in their life and they got it from that person. I would not consider that "risky" in any real sense of the word.

Any sex carries some amount of risk, and the key is being risk aware and not assuming that just because you are not engaging in what is generally deemed "risky" that you are safe. Instead you should be having that conversation with your doctor and determining what your risk tolerance is.

That is where I disagree, how many people are positive that never considered themselves engaging in risky behavior.

To me it is very dangerous, and leads to the situation we are in now, to just say only even consider prep if you are engaging in risky behavior.
