If your partner refuses to wear a condom, insist that you talk about it. Explain what you know about safe sexual behavior and condom use. If your partner feels uncomfortable buying the condoms, then you can offer to buy them. In the end, if he refuses to wear a condom, you should be concerned, and reconsider the relationship.
It can be difficult to talk about using condoms, but you shouldn't let embarrassment become a health risk. The person you are thinking about having sex with may not agree at first when you say that you want to try and use a condom when you have sex. These are some excuses that might be made and some answers that you could try:
EXCUSE | ANSWER |
Don't you trust me? | Trust isn't the point, people can have infections without realising it |
I can't feel a thing when I wear a condom | Maybe that way you'll last even longer and that will make up for it |
I don't stay hard when I put on a condom | I'll help you put it on, that will help you keep it |
I don't have a condom with me | I do |
I'm on the pill, you don't need a condom | I'd like to use it anyway. It will help to protect us from infections we may not realise we have. |
But I love you | Then you'll help us to protect ourselves. |
Just this once | Once is all it takes |
