Speaking of Condoms…Whose Responsibility Is It?

“We all know condoms are important yet based on all the baby bumps around; people seem to forget the importance of the condom. This morning while looking at pictures of Kim Kardashian I wondered whose responsibility it is to use a condom during sex, the male or the female.

In the heat of the moment, while panties are being tossed on the floor and boxers are being hurled across the room; there is are a few seconds where we have to stop our sexual antics to put on a condom. Sure it doesn’t take long, but why is condom forgot so often. A friend of mine called me complaining about his child support payments. He is sick and tired of giving part of his checks to a no good, sorry ass baby mother. His baby mother isn’t the worst, but she has no job, and depends on his payments in order to live.

I listened to his concerns before telling him, this all could have been avoided if he had put on a condom. He said she didn’t ask me to put one on. What he said was profound in the way a peasant would be profound. I asked him if he had a condom that night, he said yeah. So whose fault is it? I’ve been in the heat of the moment, condom in pocket and almost went raw until the woman said, put a condom on, I got up and 30 seconds later she had the manxilla in her stomach. It was either wear a condom, not have sex or rape her. The later two were not an option.

Being a man I can’t help but think that it’s the woman’s job to make sure that the guy uses protection during sex. One big reason is because she has to carry around the kid in her belly for 9 months, buy a new wardrobe for fat people and all of that. Her life is the one that will be ruined or changed the most by having a child, not his. It’s just the reality of the situation.

My good friend over at Super Happy Ill Time has a completely different outlook on the situation. He said it’s the guy’s job to put on the condom. Chivalrous right? Wrong! He said “Because his penis will be the one to fall off if she’s lying, got nothing to do with chivalry for me.” Valid point.

Every girl I asked this question to, said it was the guy’s job my home girl over at Looseneck.com says the responsibility is mostly the man’s because he knows what fits, what he likes and what won’t break. Another valid point, but if it’s not the woman’s job to say ,“Hey put on a condom” what if she runs into a guy who doesn’t want to wear a rubber is she going to just let him run in it raw because it’s his decision to make?

No one wants to have a tree trunk growing out of or off of his or her private parts, but at the end of the day who is really responsible for using a condom. I say since women have the final say in sex so I believe it’s their job to make sure a condom is used. Key word MAKE SURE, it’s a guys job to wear one.”
