After protected sex, who usually takes care of the condom in your experience: you, her, or does it vary?

For me, it’s almost always been me. But on a recent date, my partner helped with withdrawal and then took the condom to the bathroom herself. It struck me as considerate and kind of surprising. Later, though, I noticed a flicker of paranoia — like, what if she didn’t actually throw it out? Even though I know that doesn’t really make sense (she has an IUD, is pro-choice, and already has a child). I chalk it up to my brain being in a vulnerable place.

That same night, I also had a non-ejaculatory orgasm before my usual climax — a first for me with a partner. She was really sweet about it, which made me reflect on how partners respond when something unusual or surprising happens in bed.

So I’m curious:
– Who usually handles condom disposal in your experience?
– Do you ever get odd post-sex thoughts or flickers of paranoia?
– How do you or your partners respond when something unexpected happens?

  1. That paranoia is real, I’ve had a few times where i dispose of it, leave her house and think “oh shit there’s live cum in there still, what if she wanted to baby trap me?” It’s ridiculous I know and more of an intrusive thought than an actual concern, but it’s funny how having kids with a psychopath traumatizes you.

  2. Be careful my friend. Every few years we hear stories of women taking the condom to impregnate themselves. 

  3. Next time chew it up and spit it into her mouth like:

  4. I always do it cause I like checking the condom for any ruptures before disposing it.

    I basically fill it with water and check for any leakage and only after confirming no little holes exist, then I empty it and either throw it in the trash or preferably flush it

  5. In a long term relationship in which I wouldn’t mind her to get pregnant, she can dispose it herself if she wants.

    In a ONS or with a woman I only want to have sex, the used condom is always on my sight, until I take it myself to the toilet, empty and clean it in order to flush any soldier there might be, and throw it away forever. There is enough crazy trying to get pregnant from used condoms.

  6. Me. Usually most of it gets dumped out onto the bed or towel cause I’m the worst at removing one. So if anything my bed is gonna be Baby trapping me here soon🤣

  7. When I had to use them, I threw it away simply because I was the one taking it off and it felt natural to put it back in the packaging and toss the whole thing.

    Baby trapping was never once on my mind, to be honest.

    Granted I was never having sex with people I wasn’t in some kind of a relationship with already, so I suppose the paranoia may be more palpable if you’re just sleeping with someone you’ve only texted or something up until that point.

  8. I clean and recycle mine. Cheaper that way plus I am sure none of my boys are left after I clean it.

    1 condom can last me 5 rounds. If it aint broke just clean it.

  9. If I had sex with someone and was worried about what they might do in throwing away a condom, I wouldn’t sleep with them again.

  10. I’m normally too worn out for paranoia.

    Plus we’ve had unprotected sex, against our better judgement, twice so there’s no point in losing it over a condom now.

  11. I don’t trust women with it. Drake or someone else apparently pours hot sauce into his used ones afterward. Seems like an extreme step. But it apparently has paid off more than once for him.

    Never give someone else control over your fertility, lads. Your body, your choice.

  12. I do every single time, and i do not trust a woman with one especially while not in a relationship. No offense ladies, but anyone willing to do that isn’t someone I’m risking being tied to for the rest of my life.

  13. I always took care of my own. I would go to the bathroom sink and fill them with water (both to get rid of the sperm and to make sure they were still intact), and then throw them away. I’m aware the odds are small that someone would retrieve one and successfully use it for underhanded purposes, but it only has to happen once. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Fortunately, now I’ve had a vasectomy, so the point is moot.

  14. Why would she be disposing of the condom on your dick? That’s crazy stuff already. Sadly in <current year> the answer to “should i just trust this person?” is generally NO. As a follow up, if you’ve had enough “fun” you might want to think about the relationships you’re involved in that bring up these questions.

  15. Yeah been there. I’ve also had paranoia that she’s recording me, that she didn’t actually take birth control, etc.

    These are ridiculous but still there’s one in a hundred girls who is crazy enough to do these things. So I just try to control all variables I can, and try not to worry about the ones I can’t. In your case this includes you being quick to take care of it.

  16. I would go to the bathroom, flush the condom and while I’m there grab a washcloth and run it under hot water wring it out and bring it to her to clean up with and sometimes assist. I was usually met with
    Aww, how considerate of you.
    2 birds, 1 stone. And some attaboy points.

  17. Dude! NEVER EVER leave condom disposal to the woman, especially if you don’t know her. Take it to the bathroom with you, rinse it out down the sink and throw it in the waste basket, flush it or take it home with you. She may be inserting your spunk into herself hoping to get pregnant and then you’re stuck for at least 18 years.

  18. I am a woman and I don’t think I have ever disposed of a condom. I am single now, but in my previous relationships, he always went to the bathroom and disposed of them after. It honestly just never occurred to me to volunteer to do it.

  19. Sperm does not survive long outside the body, unless she was quick and had a medical freezer. But its best to take no unnecessary risks i guess.
