    So you just reiterated the comic. No amount of discomfort compares to what women go through.

      Some women also hate the feeling/lack of direct contact from condoms, it isn’t just a man thing. They are necessary in many sexual relationships, but this comic is the absolute most basic take on birth control options which is broadly accurate but has zero nuance.

      Most women I had sex with were on birth control for reasons other than avoiding pregnancy. I still used condoms except in committed and monogamous relationships, but everyone involved preferred going without if other considerations were taken.

        Well that does it, folks. This guy just ended all the arguments because his experience was X and all the women who have openly complained about the drawbacks of birth control were just wrong! I mean, there’s no reason that the artist of this comic should have made this comic. It’s such a niche idea!! Crazy!

          You should work on your reading comprehension.

          …broadly accurate but has zero nuance.

              You know, the ones where STDs weren’t a concern and we had plans on how to handle a pregnancy.

      The point is that if the act itself isn’t enjoyable for the man to the point they prefer to masturbate, finding a solution for that too sounds like an interesting endeavour. Notice how I said “too”, not “instead”.

      Vasectomy is an option, ofc, and there was some research being done about the male pill like 10 years ago, idk how it’s going. I’m not saying that since the man doesn’t like condoms the woman has to shoulder it, I’m saying that condom discomfort is a valid issue that warrants searching for alternative solutions.

      That’s why I agree with the other person that said that the comic is reductive.
