I generally think its best to take sex advice with a grain of salt. Everything doesn’t apply to everyone, as everyone’s likes and dislikes vary. For someone who swims in the deep end of the sexual adventure pool, advice on sex toys for beginners won’t necessarily apply. For someone who prefers their sex on the vanilla side, information on rope bondage is probably going to be a little intimidating.
On the other hand, there are often bits of advice that ring true no matter what.
This leads me to The Frisky’s 10 Examples Of Poor Sex Etiquette. It is a list of sex no-no’s aimed at hetero males, but I think everyone can take a little something from it. It’s a funny little informational piece, but there is truth and righteousness in the Cosmo-esque set of rules. One in particular was worth a rant.
#7 Not having any condoms on hand and saying, “It’s OK, I’ll pull out!” Bitch, please! No condoms on hand, no sex. You are delusional if you think otherwise.
You’re probably saying, “of course I’d never have sex with a new guy without a condom“. I’m sure you have every intention of keeping that policy, but when things get hot and heavy, it’s hard to make the right decisions. When all you want is to have a hot and sweaty romp with this really hot guy that knows exactly what you want to hear and looks at you like you’re the high priestess of all sexual godesses in the universe. Or, maybe you don’t want to “upset him” or you worry that he won’t want to go out with you again. Think about it this way, if he wouldn’t go out with you again because you wouldn’t have sex without a condom, do you really want to date him? If you putting your health (and his health) and safety first is a turn off, then he doesn’t sound worthy of your attention to begin with.
I’ll wrap up this rant by saying that my point is that you shouldn’t be afraid to put a stop to sex if you don’t have a condom on hand. We all know that the pull-out method doesn’t work. It isn’t 1954. Respect yourself.
