    It’s my personal opinion that having sex with a condom is worse than not having sex, and I’m not getting a vasectomy until I’m confident I never want kids. Their reversibility is dubious at best and it’s not worth the risk if you aren’t 100% sure. I’m pretty sure I’ll never have kids, but I’m not even confident enough about how I’ll feel a decade from now to get a tattoo… so making such a big choice is out of the question.

    I’m happy to just not have sex with women who aren’t on birth control. If you feel this is wrong, the solution is simple. We can just not have sex together. Problem solved.

      Hard disagree. Good sex with a condom is still good sex. Plus if your reason for using a condom is birth control you only need the condom for PIV, and everything else can be completely unwrapped. I don’t know about everyone else but I fucking love foreplay and just worshipping my partner’s body while they do the same to me. Honestly it’s the best part of having sex

      Plus there’s something super sexy about getting all hot and heavy, teasing and playing then grabbing the condom and unwrapping it. The moment you or your partner break that package open there’s a commitment that this thing is going on thos penis because this penis is about to go into this vagina, and it’s happening right now, not in 20 minutes after more play, it’s happening right now.

      Or don’t just take my word for it, take GirlOnTheNet’s word for it (obviously NSFW!)

        Nah, I find it nearly impossible to have an orgasm with a condom. That, and it genuinely just hurts. I know there are specially made condoms for people on the larger side, but what’s the point? I really just don’t want to have sex with a condom. I’m happy to just not have sex. It’s not a big deal to wait until I’m with someone I love for the long term and have a conversation about long term solutions. I’m looking for a life partner, not a hookup, and condoms aren’t really a “every time you have sex for rest of your life” type solution, both in terms of efficacy and satisfaction.

        “Hard disagree” with an opinion? He’s not asserting anything, just saying how he feels, lol.

        I think you just have a condom kink, lol. As a furry who’s been exposed to a LOT of kink, this sounds exactly like how artists who draw condom-centric furry porn describe condom usage.

        For the vast majority of people of both sexes, condoms are a necessary nuisance, at best, and they’d much rather get to it without having to deal with one.

      With the way the world is going, reproducing is certainly a choice. But if it truly remains a concern, there is the option of freezing sperm.

      I got a vasectomy and it has been amazing. Easily one of the best decisions of my life.

        After hearing about embryos/eggs being misused, I can’t trust my genetic material to some corporation. If I could do it myself that might be an option but hardware fails. I’d rather just keep my faculties intact and be discerning with who I have sex with.

        Oh, please, with this nihilistic nonsense. When in history would you have said “it’s a great time to reproduce!”?

          It’s irrelevant. “It’s a choice” is also quite literal; modern contraceptives have only really been available for less than 100 years.

          Education and access to information are also key points that cannot be hand-waived.

          Edit: I’ll offer a counter-question. How bad would things have to get before you decided that it would be a bad idea to reproduce?

        This is so nihilistic, dramatic, and ridiculous.

        The lives of ordinary people have been far far far far worse for 99.999% of human history.

        Don’t be such a doomer.
