Last night I had a hookup for the first time. I told the guy I wanted him to use a condom, which offended him because he was like, “Why do I need to use one if you already have an IUD? Do you think I’m some STD-ridden guy?” I told him I just don’t know him that well. Either way it was fine in the end, he put it on and it was a fine night. Now I’m thinking, was I being a pushover?


Not at all. IUDs are 99% effective (at preventing pregnancy), but if you don’t wanna risk that 1% chance, that’s your decision.
Condoms also protect against STIs.
If you want them to put a condom on before they have sex with you they shouldn’t be arguing. They should either respect your boundaries, or go find someone else with boundaries that are more compatible with their desires.
IUDs are 0% effective vs. STDS. They wil prevent pregnancies 99% of the time. Let’s do some homework here.
That’s what I meant, I just expressed it poorly.
