A few days back, I was hanging out with my friend Sasha, and she made some comment about how “Oh, if you didn’t have to wear a condom you know you wouldn’t,” and I got kind of offended. I didn’t get into it, because my ex-girlfriend was there at the time, and we’d only talked about sex once. She said she wanted to wait till she could save some money to get some type of birth control that was easy to hide from her parents, and I told her I was planning on wearing a condom. She said “That too.” I let it go, did some soul searching to see if I was really ready (I’m still a virgin), and never pressed it. She dumped me a month later. The thing is, until I’m ready to support a kid, I don’t care what you’re doing, I’m using a damn condom. And here’s why…
A lot of my friends of the female persuasion have had some scares before. One of them is having her first right now, and it really bothers me. Why? Because she boasts every now and again that her and her boyfriend never use a condom. She fucking works at the student services office folding condoms all day in little paper packets with information on why one should wear a condom. She hands them out to people every day. She informs people of the benefits of condoms, every day. She rents out tapes and sets up classes for people to learn how to use condoms properly. Yet, she doesn’t use them herself. I guess it would alright if at least one week would go by where she didn’t fuck up her birth control at least twice, but she’s very irresponsible about that as well, and now she may have really fucked herself over.
What the fuck is wrong with people? No birth control is one hundered percent effective. Shit, even vasectomies aren’t always effective. But using a combination of a condom and birth control is near 99%, and I’m pretty damn sure that one percent inneffective situation had a lot to do with user error on one or both parties behalf. She knows this better than anyone, but she still takes the risk, and it may have bitten her on the ass. I’m pretty damn sure there’s a lot of people out there who don’t use condoms, and you know you should, so what’s the deal? Unless you’re ready to raise a kid, or willing to go through the trama of an abortion, you should be more responsible. The only defense I’ve ever heard as to why people don’t wear condoms is “It just feels better without one.” Well, I bet it feels a lot better not being 21, single, and pregnant. If cuming inside a woman without a condom is that damn important to you, find a woman who likes to give head and do it that way. Otherwise, wrap it up. I don’t know how the sensation feels for women, but please, you’re the ones in control, make your man put on a jimmy hat. If he gets pissed, tell him tough shit! If he leaves you because you make him wear a condom, take it as a sign that if you got pregnant, he’s not gonna stick around, and say good ridance. But in the meantime, you know the risks involved (aside from pregnancy, there’s the whole genitalia turning green and falling off thing), PLEASE, just use a fucking condom!
