Contraception Misconception, Part 2

(My boyfriend and I are driving. The subject of condoms and the correct way to put them on comes up. We went to different high schools.)

Boyfriend: “If you start to put it on backwards just flip it, I don’t see the big issue.”

Me: “Because there’s fluid that contains sperm on there that kinda defeats the purpose of using a condom if now it’s on the outside. Seriously, they didn’t cover that in your middle school or high school sex ed?”

Boyfriend: “Uh, no. Why would they? This is an amnesty education. They didn’t teach us about much prevention.”

Me: *laughing* “Amnesty? Do you mean abstinence?”

Boyfriend: “Yeah, yeah. They’re both ‘a’ words.”

Me: “Amnesty means accept everyone.”

Boyfriend: “Yup. They taught us in sex ed to accept everyone.”
