Lily says…Well now a month concentrated on the condom! Boy this wouldn’t have been the case (30) thirty years or more ago that’s for sure! Makes me Smile!
People either swear by condoms or swear at them and here are some of the BS reasons people have used for “swearing off” condom use:
- Guys are usually thinking more about stopping fatherhood then stopping STI transmission when using a condom.
- Women think their guy isn’t telling them about their past or what they want in their future if they wear a condom with them. This is just a DUH ladies!
- If she chooses to use a female condom then maybe the guy thinks she’s a slut.
- Women usually aren’t the ones suggesting condom usage.
- Women also believe that if you ask him to wear a condom you are saying you don’t trust thim…Which you probably shouldn’t at that point, if you thought that to begin with.
- MSM Men who have sex with Men think their partner thinks they have something (Like an STI perhaps?) when the other suggests condom usage.
- One or the other doesn’t like the feel, how they wear, or they give them some other kind of negative experience.
- Think sex without involving a vagina keeps them from getting STIs.
- Some women think that their man shouldn’t wear a condom with them since they are married to him, even if they know he steps out. Like a law protects you.
- Since most men don’t have a symptom of some STIs then they don’t believe they can get or give STIs.
And the list goes on and on…
What’s wrong with this…Well everything!
Trust is an assumption in most relationships even though if we ask people what is the one thing they think all long-lasting relationships should have is trust. Huh.
Women usually need to believe that their partner LOVES them before consummating a sex act. But that has changed over the last decade or so since anonymous sex is more and more the norm for millennials, who can “hook-up” with an app.
Bringing up the topic of condoms might make us sound like we have a motive-Yeah, like staying sexually safer, maybe? Controlling pregnancy, possibly? Being PERSONALLY sexually responsible, Definitely!
Condoms can’t do their work if you don’t know how to work them, so get in the know, take relationships slow and get tested so you know for yourself what your STI risk is to others. AND START THE CONVERSATION ABOUT SAFER SEX NOW!!
