Condoms and Sexual Negotiations
This is important. Read the whole thing here.
Now, I know that sex takes two and I don’t want to portray this as a story of poor women being coerced by evil men. Women want to have sex just as badly as men do and if condom usage does not seem like an option, many people will choose risky sex over no sex. However, I truly think that men’s sexual pleasure is held at a higher priority than women’s bodies and desires and I want this to change. It is vitally important that women protect their health and understand that their boundaries and requests for safe sex are important and should be respected.
