Last night I had a hookup for the first time. I told the guy I wanted him to use a condom, which offended him because he was like, “Why do I need to use one if you already have an IUD? Do you think I’m some STD-ridden guy?” I told him I just don’t know him that well. Either way it was fine in the end, he put it on and it was a fine night. Now I’m thinking, was I being a pushover?
Yeah always wear protection if you don’t know the person. If someone is not willing to that’s a serious red flag. Your body, your choice
Perfect answer.
Agreed. I’m a man. When I was dating last, my personal rule was “always use condoms at least the first time with a new partner, and then discuss it after that as things progress.”
