If the title of this post makes me sound a bit frustrated, it is because I am.

Part of my job is registering appeals in child support cases. I am amazed at the number of men who complain about having to pay support or children they didn't want or weren't ready for. It amazes me because not becoming a father is so EASY nowadays. All men have to do is use condoms consistently and correctly, and their chances of involuntarily becoming fathers is vanishingly small.

Yes, I know women should also use birth control. But this post is specifically aimed at men. Given the fact that condoms are so easy to obtain, and given the fact the obligation of paying child support can be so heavy, why do so many men not protect themselves?

I am always astounded by the many people I know offline or encounter online with baby mama/baby daddy issues, especially people with multiple baby mamas/daddies. It's out of control and in most cases guess who pays?

I look down on men with multiple baby mamas as I think they are scum and careless about sex.

We need to start stigmatizing these people again and tighten welfare along with people being careful about sex. Use condoms or the pill or other forms or don't have sex at all, or have oral sex.

Lack of proper sex education...
Facts on American Teens? Sources of Information About Sex

(only) Thirteen states require that the information presented in sex education classes be medically accurate and factual. However, a recent review of 13 commonly used abstinence-only curricula found that 11 had incorrect, misleading or distorted information

The people who are giving you issues are not the same people who are on this forum. They probably don't even know these forums exist. So you're preaching to the choir.

As far as I can remember I've always used condoms since I didn't want to rely on the pull and pray method since it doesn't work too well. I also know of some guys who will slip it on, then while in the act pulls it off and continues.

Thank you for saying that. Men with baby mama's complain but yet they dont want to wear condoms. Go ahead and let the woman be the one to take of the birth control and see how that works out for some of y'all.

That's creepy but knew one guy desperate to get his girlfriend pregnant so she would marry him. I have become celibate and when I marry I will not use condoms at all.
