Whether you call it stealthing, birth control sabotage, or reproductive coercion, taking a condom off during sex without permission is assault.
While survivors and providers have been talking about birth control sabotage for a while now, many people are hearing about stealthing for the first time. We want to be clear: stealthing is not a sex-trend. It’s a nonconsensual act that increases a partner’s risk of pregnancy and STIs.
Done having babies for now, or forever? Birth control can help with that.
If you’re already a parent and think it’s time to say “stop” or “pause” on the babymaking (but not necessarily on the lovemaking, thankyouverymuch), consider your birth control options.
People with a range of identities and orientations can benefit from birth control.
So what are the options? Short answer: Lots. Long answer: There are many important—and super personal—factors that go into people’s decisions about how to stay on top of their sexual health.
With great sex comes great responsibility—so if you're getting it on, make sure you're getting your test too.
The American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) launched YES Means TEST with two goals: Fighting some of the stigma around STIs and getting more people tested.
