Dear Men: Here Are 7 Things You’re Missing If You Don’t Like Using Condoms

Many men prefer direct intercourse to wearing protection. To them, wearing a condom is like licking a sweet with the wrapper still on, which isn’t as pleasant. However, they may not realize the important benefits they miss by disliking condom use during sexual intercourse. Here are some important things you’re missing when you don’t like using condoms.

1. Abortion Costs.

If you don’t like using condoms, you may not be able to avoid financial demands from a girlfriend. She might ask you for abortion money, even if she isn’t pregnant. You may have no other choice but to pay because withdrawal is not 100% reliable.

2. Protection from False Paternity Claims.

No woman can claim you’re the father if you always use protection. For example, if you’re dating an unfaithful girlfriend who becomes pregnant by another man, she may claim the pregnancy is yours. In such a case, lacking proof, you could be forced to accept her claim. A DNA test is costly, so the best way to protect yourself from potential paternity fraud is to always wear a condom unless she’s your wife.

3. Forced Marriages.

Many men have been pressured into marriage due to pregnancy. To avoid this, always use a condom; otherwise, you might become a father to a child with someone you never intended to marry, with little recourse. Using protection can prevent this situation.

5. Prevent STDs.

If you’re not practicing safe sex, you’re at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Don’t rely on trust alone; wearing a condom can protect your health and finances, as some infections are expensive and difficult to treat. Your health and well-being are worth far more than a few moments of pleasure.
