This guy does not have sex.

Don't have to wear a condom because boys can't get pregnant

😎

I feel we're missing a meme image here.... 🤣

Snipsnip gang represent

I‘m 44 now and know three guys who have resented this decision.

Yep. Plenty of women out there that insist on having sex without condom as well.

Depends on where you live/your cultural context. The number of times I’ve heard from women in recent years that men refuse to wear condoms has been truly surprising.

Yeah this comic reeks of manufactured gender war content

Not only that, but the fact is, the vast majority of the time a Bad Thing (e.g. STI transmission or unwanted pregnancy) happens from unprotected sex, it's because both partners simply didn't care enough to use anything. Even taking the idiot in your example, he got laid in the end, that's how he got what he got.

Without these idiots of both sexes, unwanted pregnancy would be extremely rare, and almost no STI would survive longer than a generation.

This was me for a good three years. Standard condoms were always uncomfortable, to the point of pain, but not once did I consider going larger, thanks to my first girlfriend (our breakup was... less than ideal thanks to her cheating, and she then went on to tell me, and most of our friends, that my size was entirely inadequate, borderline micropenis, which I took to heart for quite a while).

It took the aforementioned three years and quite a few one-night stands telling me I'm big to even start thinking "hey maybe I need larger condoms".

Guys, don't be like me, if it's uncomfortable, go check out the many brands that do specifically sized nominal widths for condoms. Each will have a guide on successfully measuring yourself, or offer a sample kit which you can try for the right fit. Don't ruin your sex life with shitty condom choices.

It's not always simple, if Durex XXL and Magnum XL sit tight, check out the Condomeria in Amsterdam, they have a "numbers" line, like 64 for example and they ship worldwide!

Life saver.

I'd assume because many people in these discussions are married... in which case yeah getting an STD would be the booger on top of the shit sundae. But yeah the test results only have to be checked overall at the start of the long term relationship... at least assuming you can trust your partner... while pregnancy is something you've got to be alert to in the entirety of a relationship.

Get the 3 HPV vaccines, the 3 Hep A/B vaccines, and start truvada (or the dirt cheap generic brands).

And learn about the signs of syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. And just get anti-biotics if you catch them.

And learn to watch out for Herpes sores in a partner. (Not deadly but obviously you don't want Herpes)

EDIT: Oh and get regular testing obviously. Asking your partners to do the same on the regular is a lot easier if you're doing so.

There, you've mitigated like 99% of the threat. You could be an absolute horndog or slut rawdogging all the time and you're more likely to die in a car accident than because of an STI in the US at least.

I really can't think of an STI that would kill you these days. Am I missing one?

Yay condoms!

Honestly why I downvoted OP. They shouldn't be at the point of having this pissing-match without having used condoms together already, and cumming-inside the vagina isn't exactly required for intimacy even then.

OPs characters lack imagination, and are catering to an audience that shouldn't be encouraged into maintaining such a narrow way of thought.

a life long STD that could fucking kill me than an unplanned pregnancy?

To be fair, a pregnancy can kill you, too.

Yeah, bi man here, I can't get pregnant, but STDs still would affect me if I had sex with men.

As opposed to the very safe and not fatal action of pregnancy and giving birth?

Condoms can reduce sensitivity, but I don't understand the hate. Is sex for some people some kind of race to see who can cum first? Try taking your time and enjoy it.
If you can't cum with a condom on, maybe the problem isn't the condom? Get your blood pressure checked. One of the first things I noticed when I started having issue with high blood pressure, was that the extra BP created a bit of extra "hardness", but also reduced my sensitivity.

But I’d think guys would love condoms because it’s the only reversible birth control they can control themselves.

Yeah, what's with that? Why are there dozens of different birth control options for women, and men have exactly condoms, permanent sterilization and nothing else?

You'd think there would be some kind of decent male birth control by now. It's been 65 years since the first hormonal birth control for women was released. It's been more than enough time to get something decent done for men too.

so many of the methods seem designed to punish women for wanting sex without pregnancy.

Yes, that's right, the people inventing these contraceptives were all huddled in a room twirling their misogyny mustaches, discussing "okay, we're going to make this thing that prevents pregnancy, but we have to MAKE SURE it has unpleasant side effects, these women must be punished!"

Please.

But I’d think guys would love condoms because it’s the only reversible birth control they can control themselves.

Guys do like that, but not as much as they dislike the fact that it makes sex a lot less pleasurable, which is the primary reason they want to have sex in the first place. That's why a lot of guys, like me, would rather just not have sex with a woman, if the only 'safe' (re both STIs and pregnancy) way to have sex with her, is with a condom on.

"feels like I'm being fucked by a rubber duck" are words from my now wife that I won't ever forget.

Neither sex prefers condoms to no condoms. No pair of sexual partners ever utilize them unless they have a good reason to (and even with a good reason, many people don't, lol).

What a weird way to tell us you are really into facials...

On another personal note, sexual discomfort is obviously an important factor to account for when talking about intimacy and love, so it shouldn't be seen as stupid and unimportant, as portrayed here.

That should not overpower any health concerns, not least because they are too sources of discomfort, but it should be taken into account.

Talk it through with your partner - you're in it together, and there's almost certainly an option for both of you. Feel free to explore something other than pills and condoms as well if you need it - the world of contraception methods is huge.

If oral contraceptives have too many side effects, just don't have oral sex. Easy.

Yeah but then the person can't make a comic to shit on men.

IUD's can be great too. My wife has used them for years. Reduced period frequency and severity, higher effective rate of contraception, no need to worry about taking a pill late or missing one. Her gynecologist said it will probably reduce pre-menopausal symptoms too when she gets older. And it's pretty easily removable.

There was a couple of weeks when she was sore from the initial placement, and the same whenever it gets changed. They keep on getting approved to last longer and longer- the most recent one was good for 8 years, but there's a good chance it will get extended before it needs to be replaced as more research is done.

Not for everyone, but great for a lot of people.

Heathen! This is the only way to be safe:
