Hmmm. To expand the viewpoint beyond the practical considerations for safe sex (i.e., avoidance of pregnancy and STDs), one could see the need for safe sex as symptomatic of the conditions and thinking of this planetary population.
Ra describes how disease in general arises out of a "reduction of thought over the long time on planet Earth with respect to an understanding of the Law of One "
So perhaps one way to view the situation from a somewhat larger viewpoint is to say that safe sex is, in the case of STDs, a mechanism to guard against some of the undesirable consequences of the reduction of the practice of the Law of One on this planet while discharging the intrinsic red-ray arousal---or, in more committed cases---while experiencing the energy transfer available to the two vibrating in green-ray.
Is that where you were headed?
I'm not sure how to contextualize the situation with regard to avoiding pregnancy in philosophical terms, though I am sure it has some connection to the balance of love/wisdom.

That dives even further into the social arena and the many, many distortions of culture. (The persistent and completely impractical message of abstinence as a means of "sex education" from the religious quarter comes immediately to mind.)
A large topic to explore but my time is up!
