A 26-year-old shared on her Tiktok how the men she bedded would make excuses as to why they could not wear a condom.
Chloe Burns from Australia shared two videos of why guys refuse to wear a rubber while sharing intimate moments, getting more than 16 million views.
The viral Tiktok video starts with Burns standing up in a bedroom before she reveals the responses that men have uttered when asked to wear a condom.

Mortifying excuses
The excuses were mortifying. One man argued that he was tested three years ago when asked about their sexually transmitted disease (STD) status. In the first video, a man who seemed careless about safe sex assumed that Burns would take care of her own contraception. When asked to wear a condom, he asked her, "aren't you on the pill?"
Another one asked, "can you just take Plan B tomorrow?"
She shared that some men even tried to shame her for wanting to use protection and did not even bother to come up with excuses.
One man even said that putting the rubber protection on would not be fun for him. Another asked, "Seriously? Most girls don't care," and one claimed he would find someone else.
One man was bold enough to tell her that there was no chance a woman could get pregnant during doggy-style sex while begging her to "do it from behind."
Chloe noted that she wanted to be cautious to protect herself from pregnancy and minimize sexually-transmitted diseases. Another one said he is allergic to condoms and begged Burns to have unprotected sex with him, according to Daily Mail.
The video earned affirmation from other women who said they heard different excuses from their partners. In the comment section, a woman shared that a man told her that it's not the same feeling and "It'll smell like rubber." Another woman chimed in about a classic line men use, "they don't fit me!"
Only one-third of Americans Use Condom
The video came in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that protected abortion rights at the federal level. After the landmark decision, many people are ensuring that they are having safe sex.
Following the reversal, healthcare providers noted an increase in interest in birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion pills.
There is no recent study if there was an increase in the use of condoms since the ruling, but as of 2017, the National Center for Health Statistics reported that only 19 percent of men in the U.S. use condoms every time they have sex. The report, which is based on face to face survey of 20,000 men and women, also said that from 2011 to 2015, 14.8 percent of women and 19 percent of men aged 15 to 44 reported that they used a condom "every time" they had intercourse in the past 12 months, as per NBC News.
The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people who want to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies should use condoms every time they have sex.
