TRAPSTAR SMAPSTAR........

This semester, I'm taking a Health Behavior Theory Class.  While I really love to learn about theories, the professor has a tendency to let the class take over the discussion and steer it into all kinds of directions.  While this can be annoying at times, interesting views on health behavior from a diverse class are shared. 

While we were doing a break down on the Health Belief Model, using ccondom use to prevent STDs as an example..... A guy went on a tangent about how some women are out here to trap men, knowing they have an agreement for her not to get pregnant while they are trying to accomplish other goals.  Not sure what jumped in my spirit, but I kinda went off on him........

This irks my nerves..I hate to hear when men claim "they were trapped by a woman."  Seriously, did she pin you down, tie you up and forced you to have sex with her without a comdon?  I get it...she ran up from behind you, knocked you out and force the sperm right out of you.  OK. OK..lemme stop. 

Both parties involved in a sexual act need to take ownership and control over their reproductive rights.  At that very moment, when a man takes off his condom, and inserts his raw penis inside of a female, he just gave up his reproductive rights.  His future now stands the chance of being altered or partly planned out by a woman, all because he didn't use a condom.  Men need to stop being so trustworthy of women,especially the ones they barely know. We(men and women) are all selfish creatures to some degree by nature and if presented with the proper tools needed to execute an action for desired results, we will take advantage of the opportunity to.get what we want, no matter the repercussions of our actions sometimes. 

Another thing that pissed me off was...."women always claim to be on the pill, and they lie."  Again, this boils down to ownership and responsibility.  How about you not solely depend on the female to take her birth control, but be proactive about putting on a condom and taking part control of the situation.  Not to mention, I don't know how many commercials you have missed, but clearly birth control is not 100% accurate.  Now birth control used with condoms is as close as you will get to 100% accuracy. 

All of that to say this....SHE CAN'T TRAP YOU, IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE CAUGHT.....stop putting yourself in preventable situations and stop giving control over rights, and well future to someone else.
