People Are Sharing The Most Ridiculous Responses Men Had After Being Asked To Wear A Condom, And They Clearly Need To Go Back To Sex Ed

Internet, meet Chloe Burns, a 26-year-old nursing student who recently related to many when she lamented about the annoyances of modern dating — especially when it comes to sex.

In a world of Tinder, Grindr, and Bumble, it's no secret that some people put themselves out there in search of a life partner (or partners) while others prioritize connecting strictly on a physical level. Both are fine as long as everyone is a consenting adult, but dynamics can quickly become strained when everyone isn't on the same page in terms of using protection. Frustrated by experiences like this in her past, Chloe shared the most toxic excuses men have used when she's asked them to wear a condom, including...

..."Aren't you on the pill?"...

Reminder: While contraceptive pills are over 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy when taken consistently, they do not offer protection against STIs and HIV. Condoms are currently the only birth control method that helps protect against STIs.

..."Seriously? Most girls don't care."...

Reminder: About 99 percent of sexually active women between the ages 15 and 44 have used some form of birth control in their lives, so the above excuse is false.

..."Can you just take Plan B tomorrow?"...

Reminder: While Plan B is generally considered safe for use, its side effects include heavier menstrual bleeding, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, headache, and it does not protect against STIs.

Also, many Plan B brands have weight limitations starting at around 165 pounds, meaning they may not work for that person at all.

..."No."...

Reminder: Sexual partners should never try to coerce someone into not using a condom.

..."But I got tested three years ago."...

Reminder: The CDC recommends those who are sexually active get tested at least once a year.

..."I'm allergic to them."...

Reminder: Some people are indeed allergic to latex condoms, but there are plenty of alternative condoms on the market.

..."I'll find someone else then."...

Reminder: Unprotected anal sex comes with a high risk of contracting an STI, Planned Parenthood reports.

Over 22.8 million people viewed Chloe's two-part video series on the quotes, and her comment sections are bursting with people who have shared similar experiences. One person was met with resistance in the form of the common "I'm too big" excuse.
