Respect Yourself
Talking About Condoms

Its best to talk about contraception before you get down to it but there is nothing wrong with carrying a condom just in case.


Condoms are the best way of protecting you and your partner from STIs.

Practice putting them on (girls, you can use a banana or a deodorant bottle) so that there won’t be too much fumbling around.

Here are some ideas of how to talk about condoms:

Say nothing - just put a condom on or pass it to your partner.


"If it's not on, it's off"

“I’m not gonna have sex without a condom just to prove I care”

"What’s your favourite flavour?”

"Which brand of condoms do you use?"

"Shall we use your condom or mine?"

“No glove, no love”


“I’m not going to be able to relax properly unless we use a condom”
