condoms are super convenient, what?

An object you have to physically carry around with you and have on your person in the moment every single time you have sex, versus things like:

  • a pill that, while needing to take it daily, leaves you protected at all times, you don't need it on hand at the time of the sexual encounter. And most pills aren't even that strict about what time you take it each day, as long as it's around the same time every day
  • a vaginal ring that only needs to be swapped out once a month (and can safely be removed for a few hours during sex itself without losing efficacy, if desired)
  • an injection that lasts 3 months
  • an arm implant that can last 5 years once inserted, depending on type
  • an IUD that can last for over a decade once inserted, depending on type

Condoms are far less convenient than any of these.
