Is using a condom the male or females responsibility?
This is an interesting question, but we would definitely recommend that the use of a condom or other protective barrier during sexual activity is the responsibility of BOTH partners. Regardless of who actually wears the condom (there are female condoms, too), communication about sexual activity as well as sexual history should ideally occur well before the initiation of any sexual act. There are many variables to discuss depending upon the relationship, but both partners should make their needs, desires, opinions, and decisions known to the other person before engaging in sexual activity.
