Sexual intercourse feels good, and hormones can sometimes get in the way of you making a good decision. While the orgasm may initially make your rash choice to have sex seem perfectly okay, there could be consequences that can change a man’s life forever. So unless a man is prepared to make significant changes there are 5 things he should think about before engaging in sex.

5 Things to Think About Before Having Sex

Here is a question that all men should ask themselves. Being a man you do you think about these 5 things before having sex? If not them you should. Before men try to answer this question, here are some important things they need to think about before the next time the engage in sexual intercourse.

1. Why Are You Having Sexual Intercourse?

If men need to think about the answer, then they are probably only have sex because society seems to tell them that they should. While sexual intercourse is natural and normal, engaging in any sexual activity simply to show off virility is not a particularly good reason. Casually sleeping around with women does not always mean that they are okay with it, some men quickly learn that women can become jealous when they are ignored or if they believe that a man has simply used them. Men quickly learn from these confrontations that the quick sexual act was not worth the problems and drama that is now occurring.

2. Are You Ready To Be a Father?

Having unprotected sex whenever you feel like it not only puts men at a greater risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, but it also increases his chances of becoming a father before he is ready. All it takes is one time with a woman who is ovulating and he could be committed to a new responsibility that can reshape his life. Unless men are completely ready to focus on a child instead of their own needs, they need to take a moment and remember to wear a condom.

3. Is This The Woman He Wants To Raise His Children?

While having a child with a woman does not necessarily mean that men have to spend the rest of his life with her, it does mean that she will continue to be a part of his life long after the sexual escapade is over. If she is not the type of woman he would want in his life, perhaps the having an orgasm is not worth the risk. Having a child with someone means that parents have to be able to make decisions together regarding every aspect of their child’s life, and distinctly different views on parenting can not only make a man’s life miserable but the child’s as well.

4. Are You Willing To Pay Child Support?

Being a father does not mean simply getting a woman pregnant, it is a financial responsibility that will follow him throughout his life. While some men try to avoid their responsibilities, the court system usually is still able to collect child support from him. The sheer expense of raising a child is enormous and if a man is not prepared he may never be able to get financially ahead.

5. Think About Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

All men should think about STDs every time they engage in sexual activities. Sexually transmitted diseases are preventable by simply wearing a condom. Another thing to think about is if the man’s potential sexual partner shows any signs of having a sexually transmitted disease, and if their lifestyle puts them in a high risk bracket of having one. Simply taking a minute to think can prevent a man from contracting a disease that could be life threatening. Every man who is sexually active should also be regularly checked by a health care professional.

Conclusion

Sexual intercourse is healthy and natural, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to have an orgasm. What men do need to stop and think about, are the consequences that can go hand in hand with having unprotected sex. Simply stop and think for a moment before you satisfy your desire, and avoid having to deal with any unpleasant situations that can arise from your actions.
