      Mass-market condoms often don’t fit properly, even for men who aren’t excessively well endowed. Yeah, you can stretch them over your head and fill them up like a balloon, but that’s not at all comfortable. Also, they do break, so it’s not like there’s no risk of pregnancy.

        Yeah, you have to go for the boutique condoms. Head down to your local condomer. Get measured and fitted for a personal touch

          There’s actually a couple that I tried that did work significantly better than off-the-shelf, but they still kinda sucked. As I recall, they were really expensive, too.

          This is my penance for being born with a weird dick, I guess.

        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.

          Why do some women choose birth control despite the potential side effects if not needed for medical purposes, sir White Knight?

            Some do. But this comic is comparing multiple bad side effects to lack of pleasure.

                Because some women aren’t all women? Let’s not even get into the argument of the expectation of sex and fear of rejection that women feel in speaking their minds. Pretending to feel a certain way to keep their partner because that’s how it’s been for forever can lead to women saying they like something they do not. It’s not that hard, but then again there is a male loneliness epidemic for a reason.

                  Disregarding that you’re now ironically deciding what most women think, you still haven’t answered the question:

                  Why do some women take the birth control pill then?
