A case for making condoms the default in casual sex, not something to negotiate. The speaker notes that protection matters beyond pregnancy prevention and that generational attitudes toward contraception keep shifting.
That condom conversation, it can be so awkward, can't it? But I think that unless you have said otherwise, that one should always assume that condoms are just something that we all use and we have to just get used to. I know that a lot of us were brought up in a time where we didn't use condoms or we used other forms of contraception, and even though we're not making babies anymore, it doesn't mean that we still don't need to protect ourselves from all those things that we really don't want and we really don't need. I know it can be so awkward, especially when you first met somebody, to have that conversation, but I always think, let's just assume that we're all going to use condoms unless we are committed in a committed monogamous relationship. Then you can have that discussion and you can decide whether or not you want to use them.
