“How to Talk to Your Partner About Using Condoms?”
Many people want their partners to use condoms for safety but sometimes face excuses or refusals. So how do we talk to them to agree? Here are techniques for understanding and confident communication to make protection easier!
1. Start with open communication
- Discuss in advance – Don’t wait until the moment to bring it up. Talk in a relaxed atmosphere.
- Provide clear reasons – Explain why using condoms is important to you, such as preventing diseases or ensuring peace of mind for both.
- Emphasize that it’s about “us,” not just you alone
2. Respond to common excuses
- “It doesn’t feel good” → “Nowadays, there are ultra-thin types that feel almost the same!”
- “We trust each other, no need to use” → “We plan to prevent rather than risk it.”
- “It kills the mood if I have to wear it” → “It’s just a part of sex. If we start well, it won’t be a problem.”
3. Make using condoms a normal thing
- Prepare condoms yourself – Don’t wait for your partner to think about it.
- Choose the right condoms – There are many types, such as ultra-thin, scented, or lubricated.
- Try to make it fun – Try choosing together or use it as part of setting the mood.
4. If still not agreeing, stand your ground
- If no condom = not ready – If they refuse to use it, you have the right to say no.
- A good relationship requires respect – If your partner truly loves and respects you, they should understand your reasons.
- Assert your stance confidently – Clearly state that “I want us to use it for both of our safety”
