I came across this image, and at first I chuckled at the sardonic nature of the joke in it. Then I actually let it sink in, and had a "woah" moment.
I've gotten on my soapbox before about informed consent and sexual assault on the whole, and I have to admit I've neglected the male victims of these crimes.
Of course men can be raped and assaulted too, and this particular commentary below touches a little bit on that.
Reddit User meathouse1 in response to this image;
On top of that can of worms, with contraceptives on the line, could STI disclosure be considered a part of consent? I think so.
In my opinion, sex is loosely a contractual exchange. It involves two (or more) people in agreement that they want to enjoy each others' bodies in an safe way, which should mean clear consent and disclosure on diseases and contraceptives. It sounds really stoic on paper, but really, how can you enjoy getting your orgasm on if one or both of you has to worry about pregnancy, disease, or getting hurt? Isn't one of the main contributors to fun sex good communication?
