The best lines for when dudes won't use c-ndoms
It's sad, but true. People are still doing this.
Hey babe,
There is no limit to the excuses men will make to avoid wearing condoms. It’s pretty messed up. How did women become the gatekeepers of sexual health? Why is it our responsibility to make sure we all don’t get chlamydia? The lines are endless, predictable, and so, so lame.
I don’t want to wear a condom.
I can never get off with a condom on.
I can’t stay hard.
I’m allergic to latex.
We can safely say we’ve all been there, right? It’s a ridiculous position to be in, one we should never have to deal with. Yet, here we are, constantly worry about guys doing objectively stupid stuff.
So, what do you say when a guy is being an irresponsible dillhole? I asked some real women (and vagina owners) to give me their best lines for when someone uses the “I don’t want to use a condom” line.
I usually just laugh and say, “That’s genuinely hilarious. That would absolutely never happen. Frankly, I can’t believe you would even think that was acceptable.”

I can't tell you the number of men who tell me they just can't get hard with a condom on. My best response has been, "Honey, you come with one of two things for me, or you don't come at all: either a condom or a diamond ring." (Luckily no one has brought the ring.)

I think it’s extremely unfair when a man puts me in that position. Like, why is it my responsibility to safeguard both of our sexual health? Then I start thinking about how he pulls this nonsense with other girls and at that point I’m just turned off. I’m not trying to catch an STI.
-Lilly, 30
It’s quite a simple line, actually. If a guy doesn’t want to wear a condom I just say, “Ok. Then I’m not going to have sex with you. That’s pretty much it.
-Chloe, 23
Frankly, should a man even suggest sex without a condom, you should usher his ass out the door. Why would you even consider hooking up with such an idiot?
I am so disappointed that after all my years of fighting for women's rights, that there are still women so stupid and spineless as to allow a man to use them for unprotected sex.
-Beverly, 64
Stop. People still don't do this, do they? Tell that guy to get the hell out of your bed. What is this moron doing?
-Isabel, 29
I’d just say, “K bye.” And then leave.
-Kelly, 27
I still remember when this happened and I repeated this: "Your eyes may shine, your teeth may grit, without a condom, no love you'll get." After he finished laughing, he took the condom I gave him and we 'got busy.'
-Carol Gee, 67
I enjoy making guys feel stupid for this. I go on a rant about STI rates in America and basically tell him he’s a f*cking idiot.
-Michelle, 31
No raincoat, no sunshine.
Rita, 60
I always get the, “I’m allergic to latex,” line. So, I just let him know that 1% of the population is allergic to latex and if he’s part of the 1%, he’s not getting laid tonight. What a joke though. We all know he’s not allergic to latex.
-Bri, 33
First of all, it’s depressing that we still have to have this conversation. Secondly, I would tell a guy that if he wants to get all this sweet love, he better get his sh*t together.
-Maya, 28
Cheers to taking charge of your sexual health and never, ever let anyone make you feel like you’re asking “too much” because you want to protect yourself. That’s just basic respect. If someone won’t wear a condom, they are a dangerous person who doesn’t care about their sexual health (or yours).
This week’s mantras:
I am the captain of my own sexual health and I own that power.
I will own the power of saying no in situations where I feel uncomfortable.
I will not make myself small to calm the egos of small people.
I will love myself.
I love you. Have a great week!

What is The A-Spot
I was interviewed for this very interesting piece on the A-Spot, another part of the clitoris, located internally.
Actually, it’s truly simply part of the clitoris however is situated internally. “The complete clitoris goes under the floor of the labia, extending into the stomach, explains SKYN’s intercourse and intimacy skilled Gigi Engle. “The clitoral glans — the half you’ll be able to see on the exterior of the vulva, are simply the tip of the iceberg. There are inner wings and bulbs. “
A Guide to Living With Genital Herpes (HSV2)
One thing this article forgets is that you can get HSV1, usually the kind of herpes you get on your mouth in the form of coldsores, genitally if someone with a cold sore goes down on you. A fact we often forget. Other than that, I really enjoyed this sex positive guide to living with HSV2. Yes, it can come with challenges in this sex negative AF society, but it is not the end of the world. You are worthy of love and joy. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
The History of Lube
You guys know I’m all for sexual health history lessons! I loved this complete guide to the history of lube throughout human history by Maude. We have done some pretty wild shit to get it on without pain. Thank god for high-quality, glycerine and paraben-free lubes we finally have available these days. Petroleum jelly in your vag? YIKES.

Ask Gigi: I Had a Lot to Say About Sex/Life on Netflix
Warning: There are a lot of spoilers ahead. But if you're currently watching Sex/Life or just finished and have been left like 🥴!?!?! then hopefully this will help clear things up. And if you haven't watched yet, well, you might want to keep reading anyway: I do honestly think you'll want to know some of these things before you watch it. It sucked me in really fast (it's HOT and there is a LOT of sex), but it also left me feeling disappointed and despondent. There was a lot this show got right… but there was a lot it screwed up.
That’s it for me this week, pals. I love you. You are a magical being who is a ball of wonderful and you deserve to go and have an orgasm. Like, now. Go!
