Exactly my point, you don’t have to wear one if you don’t want to, just don’t have penetrative sex. If you’re complaining about a safety measure your partner wants, that’s indicative that you don’t notice or care about their needs. Ergo…
I guess my point is that it's okay to tell your partner about it though. There's a fine line between being informative and complaining.
Just holding that information to yourself would probably damage a relationship.
Tbh I was picturing a one night stand/fling. In an actual relationship, you can get to the root of why condoms feel necessary. Maybe you as a couple switch to female condoms or get tested and switch to other forms of birth control or even just get really practiced at intercrural sex. But “complaining” is not going to make anything in the bedroom better.
