Many people act as though being prepared for safer sex is weird, or even presumptuous. Yet I have to say I find it much sexier when a person is prepared for safer sex, as compared to relying on fate, or me, for that all the time. When I first dated a man who brought his own lube, condoms, etc. and always had them available by the bedside, I was not sure what I thought. Then I got used to that, and when we broke up, I dated a man I had to provide all the condoms for. I realized that the former lover being prepared was actually respectful to me, and was responsible to himself. I came to appreciate prepared lovers, feeling they offered my body a higher level of respect.
Many members of my generation (40-somethings) never actually used condoms regularly, and thus safer sex is not something they are familiar with. I find the younger generations seem to be more educated, and more comfortable, with safer sex than the older generations. In this day and age, that is simply irresponsible. At www.sexuality.org, you can find a page on safer sex that is thorough and well-researched. They also have great suggestions for homemade safer sex kits.
