From Trust to Safety: Talking About Condoms With Confidence

[Eve Smith]

Talking about condoms with confidence is something every adult should feel comfortable with. It’s not just about protection from STIs or pregnancy — it’s about showing maturity, respect, and genuine care for a partner. Many people avoid the topic because they think it’s awkward, but in reality, bringing it up builds trust and makes intimacy easier. When both people feel safe and relaxed, the experience becomes much more enjoyable. Safe sex should never be seen as killing the mood — it’s actually what allows intimacy to happen without worry.
