The same way we reiterate practicing safe sex, we should begin reiterating protecting our wombs. Our wombs are extremely sacred. A lot of men feel liberated and enjoy the thrill of irresponsibility by engaging in unprotected sex because it “feels better” and even will go to the extent of ejaculating in you. Only for them to tell you to either get a plan B, to go on birth control, or when pregnancy manifests — tell you to get an abortion. It’s selfish, irresponsible, and it’s done so remorselessly and nonchalantly, as if these methods cannot cause life changing effects to our bodies.

Beware of selfish and irresponsible men like this who feel that the responsibility of safe sex is mainly on you as the woman because we have more tools that combat pregnancy prevention. Do not allow a man to have control over your body in this manner. Set those boundaries and protect YOURSELF. These men know no limits. If there are no boundaries, trust and believe that they will have the audacity and do as they please.

Treat a condom as a barrier of respect. No protection = No sex. This is not up for negotiation. If it’s a problem, leave the man. He’s a scrote. No man should feel so comfortable wanting to sleep with you without protection, especially during the early stages of dating or even in a casual relationship. We already go through so much already with our bodies as women. No man who isn’t committed to you or serious about you is worth jeopardizing your health and physical well-being.

Another typical LVM behavior. A major red flag. Pay attention to this. Protect yourself, your mental, and your womb.
