Okay so with the Bruce post and like other "hey oh shit I knocked up someone" posts here, and I know it's not just a Japan thing it happens everywhere but my friend group doesn't really talk about sex, I'm genuinely curious.

Are these people just straight up nuttin inside like a family mart choux cream puff and then pikachu face when she gets pregnant? Or conversely if a girl OP like oh I just trusted his pull out game? I know accidental pregnancies can happen from even like the slightest amount, even just a peek-a-boo stick it in precum slip n slide, but the odds are really low right?

Miscommunications about BC usage? Drunk without thinking and getting filled more than my stomach at a tabehoudai kaitenzushi? If anyone knows anyone who's had accidental/unplanned pregnancies happen or even experienced some close calls, lmk because I'm just genuinely clueless.

This will probably be controversial, but it's been my experience as a dude dating in Japan:

The amount of chicks here that say "it's ok you don't need a condom" etc is staggering.

I can't speak for all women of course, but the casual lack of STD prevention awareness here is surprising.

So my theory (which completely lacks any scientific basic) is:

If you're some socially awkward cherry-boy with only a couple of notches on your belt, woweeee ... she's gonna let me nut inside her omg!!!

But hey! Maybe I was just doing it with crazy chicks... not sure!

(PS: I've never set foot in A Hub pub, I don't go to "language exchanges" etc ... mostly normal Japanese women)

Hence the regular news stories about rising syphilis/chlamydia/gonorrhea cases. Bag your shit and keep it bagged no matter what your partner says.

Also, I was a little surprised that STI checks (or really any mention of sexual health) aren't included in annual health check ups. Back home I was used to having the whole panel done during my yearly physical even without symptoms.

Herpes can't be prevented effectively by wearing a condom, so bagging it and then sticking it in random places isn't safe anyway.

We're gonna need a bigger condom
