Right, statistics aren't intended to represent everyone and everything. That's why you will find cohabitators who say cohabitating was awesome and (perhaps more) cohabitators who say cohabitating was a complete waste.
Whichever the case, people conveniently use statistics and expect others to personally apply them for topics like safe sex. Either way, everyone thinks this stuff applies to everyone but them. I strongly recommend that people understand the realities and possibilities of life and that includes both the individual-level and the aggregate-level. There comes a point when people need to stop thinking "I didn't think it could happen to MEEEEEEE" or "I had no idea this could even happen...TO ANYONE."
That applies to this topic and any other. Make smart and informed choices. People can still choose to do something that others disapprove of, but they shouldn't pretend that they were aware of the potential positive outcomes but clueless to the potential negative outcomes.
