If a woman gets pregnant, yes she is the one carrying the baby, but it is still the man's responsibility just as much as the woman's. SO, just with STD's, the man needs to think about pregnancy as well, and protect himself. Protection is not only a woman's responsibility.

I'm speaking from a woman's point of view because I am that. I never said it wasn't his responsibility. What I'm saying is Trishelle needs to be responsible for Trishelle. We live in the day and time where you see single mothers daily with no fathers in sight. We see a high number of women with STD's and AIDS cases on the rise. Yes both parties need to think about protection because they are engaging in a mutual act, but I am speaking from a female's pov, not the if "I were a guy" pov. So bottom line, she shouldn't say "we need to use condoms," laugh it off and continue. It's not about what he wants, YOU protect YOU because YOU suffer the consequences when YOU don't make wise choices. Again, this is speaking from a woman's perspective.
