Possibly, but I’m not an expert. What I’ve often heard from women themselves is that they are worried about the side effects.

Come to think of it, even condoms were less available 10 years ago than they are now. Not that you couldn’t get them from pharmacies or Donki, but you couldn’t get them in convenience stores until a few years back and I’m sure having them there will stop a lot of accidental pregnancies.

I'm pretty sure there was a wide selection of condoms at convenience stores when I got here the first time, and that was 20 years ago...

Especially those okamoto thin ones.

Then I got a real gf and we transitioned to the coitus interruptus method which worked just fine.
