Recently, it feels like my partner is constantly pressuring me to be unprotected. In the moment, I agree, but then I feel a mix of regret and anger inside — did I consent, or was I led into it? My mind is all over the place. Are there others who experience these feelings? How do you cope with it?
My daughter, this is a very serious issue
You should say this directly without thinking: 'I can't be unprotected, I don't feel comfortable.' If they insist in response, reconsider the relationship. You don't need to be persuaded; after all, this is your body.
It feels like you have a share in it too. In that moment, you say you accept it, but later you get angry; what kind of situation is this? If there is pressure, you need to set your boundaries from the start. As long as you directly agree, it counts as 'consent' 🫠
It's normal to have mixed feelings, but consent should be clear. There's also a sexual health aspect to this. Constant unprotected sex can cause you stress. Open communication is essential, and seeking support from a specialist if necessary is recommended.
Let me add this too, if I try to stop at that moment, I end up being the one who gets upset. He says, 'If you don't want to, that's fine,' but there's an unease on his face. It feels like extra pressure, but maybe I'm just being paranoid.
So when did this situation start? Did you always start with protection? Or was there a certain ease regarding this from the beginning that eventually led to disagreement? Perhaps there is a communication problem that has been present since the start.
There is something else here for me. Is there a hidden motivation behind wanting "unprotected
Some men can really be oppressive about this. But at the same time, when women don't set clear boundaries, they can interpret it as 'consent.' Most likely, he is not even aware of your feelings of regret.
