"Stealthing"

[George K]

California is the 1st state to ban 'stealthing,' nonconsensual condom removal

California just became the first state in the U.S. to outlaw "stealthing," a slang term for the nonconsensual removal of a condom during sex.

The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday, makes it a civil offense under state law for someone to remove a condom without their partner's consent.

"For a majority of the people, it's like, 'Yeah, it makes sense that this is immoral and it should be illegal,' " state Assembly member Cristina Garcia, who sponsored the legislation, told NPR.

"A lot of people told me, 'I can't believe it's not already illegal,' " she added.

The California State Legislature had approved the measure without opposition.

Putting aside all the touchy-feely stuff at the end of the article, the law, on its face, makes sense. If you consent to sex with your partner, with the caveat that he (can I say "he"?) wear a condom, removal of the condom is a violation of that consent.

Also, what kind of asshole (can I say "asshole"?) would do that anyway.

So a vindictive woman bent on paybacks saves a used condom, and the next time the paybacked victim has bare sex (consented to) with her, she hauls out the condom and calls the cops.

Other than that, what could go wrong?

Good point: She said, he said...

Another good point: #believeallwimmenz

The solution is simple: sign an agreement before you do anything.

Hard law to enforce, or prove after the fact.

That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's
why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for
anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right
to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his
protest up to the church door in 1517, he may not have
realised the full significance of what he was doing. But four
hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear
whatever I want on my John Thomas. And Protestantism doesn't
stop at the simple condom. Oh no! I can wear French Ticklers
if I want.

Those same folks that wanted the government out of the bedroom, suddenly want them back in?
