Men: Protect yourselves

Work is kickin' my ass right now so I decided to go through some draft posts to see what I could get up quickly and came across something I wrote back in June when it was announced that Prince Albert of Monaco had fathered yet another child out of wedlock. I'll try to get something new (and up to date) posted this weekend.

****************


Someone should tell Prince Albert of Monaco that they make condoms. They've been making them for quite some time now. I don't think he knows. He's certainly procreating like he doesn't know or at least doesn't care. Of course, Prince Albert can afford the luxury of not caring. He is rich enough to birth a dozen kids out of wedlock and lavishly provide for each one.

But indifference toward the use of condoms is not just an affliction of the rich. Men from all walks of life are more than willing to hop into bed without the proper protection. Protection, not just from unwanted pregnancy, but from sexually transmitted diseases as well. What is it about the opposite sex that makes men accept without question what women they hardly know tell them about their birth control methods or sexual health?

Some women can be conniving, opportunistic creatures. They will use what they have (read: sex) to get what they want, whether it be a man or his money. But this is no secret. Men know this. For ages, men have been the well publicized victims of unscrupulous women. And still, they refuse to protect themselves.

I don't know what it is about some men. Maybe they just think they are "stonger than dirt"

I think we all know what it is, but I can say that...as a dude that's been oblivious to the obvious, I have learned my lesson. All one needs is a good pregnancy or STD scare to stop playing around. I once heard a line (and fell for it) that she was allergic to latex. And yes, I know that can actually exist, but then I hear, as I say that I want to break up with her, "Oh...and I may be pregnant".

2 things will happen before my next serious relationship. An STD test, and I'll be checking for female anatomical records.

I will say as someone who has gone barback since high school that some men just don't care enough about themselves to protect themselves. And that goes for physically, emotionally, and any other way. Just as some women lose hope and don't give a damn and do reckless things, maybe out of a craving for attention, maybe because they really are completely hopeless. Sometimes doing what feels good takes precedence over everything else. It's not smart, but for some it's all they got.

That should read "bareback"...sorry, I'm tired.

I guess the Prince thinks he is rich enough to support his off springs but he better wear condoms to protect himself from AIDS because it doesn't care how rich you are...

If a man chooses to be stupid...than why... should we care? Plus, men enjoy all the attention they get from these women... it boosts there ego's!

So i say... girls take what you can! Wish I could! lol

If you're willing to plant the seed, you must be responsible for doing the deed. This is something that is all too frequently forgotten.
