Here’s how to ask your man to wear a condom.
Contraceptives, and the living is easy… for the men!
Seems unfair, doesn’t it? Typical in a male-dominated world that here’s another area in which women must carry the weight of responsibility and action. Women have all kinds of contraceptives, some of which can actually alter a woman’s body chemistry, like birth control pills and injections. Other types require insertion like sponges and IUDs.
All the guy has to do is slap on a condom, yet it always seems inconvenient and ruins the “spur of the moment”! Better to be spontaneous as long as the woman has done her part for protection against an unwanted pregnancy.
But condoms have huge benefits and advantages compared to the female variety of contraceptives. Girls, you have to spell it out for your guy, even if you have to grab him by the you-know-whats to not only make him pay attention but also to convince him.
Condoms are cheap by comparison, so you both save money. They are easily accessible and quick to acquire and use. Most importantly, they are safe – they block the flow of semen so no sperm will make it in. And there are no side effects in its use. It goes on, it’s used, and it comes off. A woman on birth control pills, for example, could easily experience all kinds of adverse side effects, and that’s not good for her and not for her partner (since if she feels lousy, she won’t exactly be in the mood).
So turn the tables on this. It takes two to tango. Have him take responsibility and step up to the plate. Have your man put on a condom for a change.

If you’re on the dating scene and that moment has come, how do you go about asking him to put one on? and when is the right time to ask, is it cruel to get to that moment and then ask or should it have been brought up before hand?
