6 Reasons Why You Should Always Tell Your Boyfriend to Wear a Condom

Sex can be a fun and exciting way to boost intimacy among lovers in a relationship. However, as a single woman, there is one important thing to keep in mind during sexual intimacy: you should mandate your boyfriend to wear a condom. In this article, we discuss important reasons why you should join the “No protection, no sex” group.

1. You Are Not Legally Married.

A boyfriend is not a husband; therefore, he is not entitled to husband benefits. Unless you are legally married, never allow a man to penetrate your body without wearing a condom. There is no guarantee of being together forever in a relationship; it is 50/50, meaning you might part ways someday, putting your future at risk.

Imagine those withdrawal methods—releasing semen inside your body and depositing a segment of his DNA in you. For the sake of your future husband, if he can’t wear a condom, then no sex is simple. If he wants skin-to-skin contact, let him marry you first and do the needful.

2. Do You Want to Become a Single Mother?

Any man can have sex with you and offer good experiences, but finding a man who complements you and genuinely loves you is rare. Many unreliable men will promise you heaven on earth, and once you give them sex, they start misbehaving. They’re like bees that bitterly suck the nectar of a flower and then flee.

By telling your boyfriend to wear a condom before being intimate, you indirectly prevent yourself from becoming a single mother. Unprotected sex can result in unwanted pregnancy, which can turn you into a single parent.

Being a single mother is stressful and frustrating; it can make you less attractive to other men, and you might be forced to carry your burden alone. All of this can be avoided by insisting that he wear protection.

3. It Saves You from Being Tied Down with Pregnancy.

Your boyfriend might say, “I love it when it’s raw,” but believe me, when the consequences arrive, you will see his true colors. If you accidentally get pregnant, your boyfriend might feel like he has conquered you and may start cheating on you with other girls. Guess what? There is nothing you can do about it because you are not legally married, and you can’t easily leave the relationship while heavily pregnant.

What if you discover that you and your boyfriend are not compatible? It will be difficult to leave and move on because you have a child together. All these issues could be avoided by telling him to wear a condom.

4. You Will Suffer Alone.

When it comes to love, relationships, and sex, women often bear the severe consequences. Any mistake with skin-to-skin contact can compel you to use contraceptive pills, which can disrupt your menstrual cycle, or lead to an abortion, which can result in serious health complications.

For example, a student from Federal Polytechnic made headlines some time ago after she died from abortion complications. I believe her boyfriend is still alive and might be in another relationship, while she might be regretting her decision in the grave. It is important to learn from other people’s mistakes to avoid repeating history.

For how long will you keep aborting for a boyfriend who could dump you for another woman in the future? When he dumps you, you might still blame it on men who are scum. Men are not scum; it is you who refused to tell him to wear a condom.

5. It Protects Your Vagina from Unpleasant Odors and Infections.

The smell of semen after ejaculation isn’t always pleasant, especially if it is released inside you repeatedly. Even though the vagina cleanses itself, this can cause an unpleasant odor. Additionally, your boyfriend might be a womanizer who sleeps with other girls, bringing bacteria and infections from them into your body. If you care about your overall well-being, you should never make the mistake of sleeping with a man who isn’t married to you without protection. All of this can be avoided by telling him to wear a condom.

6. HIV/AIDS Is Real

As an advocate for safe practices, I can confirm that HIV/AIDS is real and has been on the rise in recent years, especially in Nigerian tertiary institutions where hookups and prostitution have become schemes for making quick money. The only way to protect yourself from transmission is to take precautions. People who are HIV-positive don’t have it written on their faces. Unless he is your husband, never open your legs for him without insisting that he wear a condom.
