23 Reasons Not to Use
Condoms
Reason: I don't use condoms.
Answer: OK. Then let's think of ways we
can satisfy each other without intercourse.
Or: I never make love without a condom.
No glove, no love.
Reason: I forgot it.
Answer: Forget it.
Reason: I don't have a condom with me.
Answer: The drug store up the street is
open all night. Let's go buy some.
Or: I have one.
Or: Let's wait until we're
prepared
Reason: It's embarrassing to buy them.
Answer: Let's buy a big box. That way
we won't have to buy them for some time.
Reason: Condoms are too expensive.
Answer: Let's share the cost.
Or: Let's skip the movie Saturday and
we can buy several dozen.
Or: I'll pay for them. The peace of
mind is worth it.
Or: Let's stop by the family planning
clinic. Condoms are free there.
Reason: I'm allergic to them
Answer: Let's try another brand or a
different lubricant or Spermicide.
Or: I'm allergic to sperm. It could
make me 'break out' in STDs and sometimes even
pregnancy.
Reason: They
look ugly.
Answer: Come here, big boy. I love the way
you look in that color.
Or: I think you look incredibly sexy.
Seeing you in a condom really turns me
on.
Reason: But we've been having sex without
condoms.
Answer: I know we could enjoy each
other more if I didn't have to worry.
Or: That doesn't mean it's not a good
idea from now on.
Reason: Condoms
taste terrible.
Answer: Let's try some of those new
flavored condoms.
Reason: They're too dry. They make sex
uncomfortable.
Answer: Let's try lubricated condoms.
If they still feel dry, we can use some K-Y Jelly
or Astro Glide.
Reason: I'm a virgin.
Answer: I'm not. This way we'll both be
protected.
Reason: I'm on the pill. Trust
me.
Answer: I do trust you; it's the pill
I'm worried about. Let's play it safe.
Or: The pill works great for preventing
pregnancy, but condoms can protect us from
infections we might not even know we
have.
Reason: It's embarrassing to buy condoms
and carry them.
Answer: If we're too embarrassed to
deal with condoms, then we're probably not ready
for sex.
Reason: I
wouldn't give you a disease.
Answer: I know you wouldn't
intentionally, but either of us could have an
infection and not know it. Why take
chances?
Reason: Sex isn't as good. I can't feel
much with a condom on. It's like wearing a raincoat
in the shower. They're fake, unnatural, a total
turnoff.
Answer: There's plenty of feeling left,
and I wouldn't feel safe without it.
Or: You're right. Condoms do reduce the
sensitivity for both of us a little, but that's not
all bad. It gives us a chance to concentrate on
other parts of our bodies.
Or: Let's try to work this out - an
infection doesn't feel so great either. If we use a
condom we'll both relax and that will make our
lovemaking better. (It may help you last longer,
too.)
Or: Honey, you won't feel anything
unless we use a condom.
Reason: Condoms don't work that well. I
can still get pregnant.
Answer: No birth control method is 100%
affective. Let's use some foam with nonoxynol-9
too. Foam and condoms together are about 99%
safe.
Or: Condoms are a very good method as
long as we don't forget to use one every
time.
Reason: I'm sure it's safe at this time of
the month.
Answer: There is no safe time when it
comes to STDs.
Or: That's what my sister thought. Now
I'm an uncle.
Or: Let's really be safe, not
sorry.
Reason: Putting it on breaks the mood.
It's not romantic. I'll lose my erection by the
time I stop and put it on.
Answer: It doesn't have to break the
mood. I'll help you put it on - that'll help you
keep it.
Or: It's not romantic when I'm scared
about getting pregnant or sick.
Reason: I'm afraid to ask him to use a
condom. He'll think I don't trust him.
Answer: If you can't ask him, you
probably don't trust him
Reason: Just this once.
Answer: Once is all it
takes.
Reason: You carry a condom around with
you? You were planning to seduce me!
Answer: I always carry one with me
because I care about myself. I have one with me
tonight because I care about us both.
Reason: It's up to him/her...it's his/her
decision.
Answer: It's your health. It should be
your decision, too!
Reason: None of my other boyfriends use a
condom. A Real Man isn't afraid.
Answer: Please don't compare me to
them. A Real Man cares about his partner,
himself and their relationship.
And, at least one big
reason for wearing a condom:
Think about
it!
