In society today, we envision a guy spiking a drink. Maybe he would be the one not interested in a relationship because of something that he lacks, which happens to start with the letter "c."

She was pushy, bossy, and dominant, even though she liked to feel submissive. This unprecedented form of sex turned the both of us on. Although I wasn 't the one to call the shots, I was making the shots.

Naomi was … different. She was the epitome of what society tells women not to be. Therefore, it was fun to be rebels that went against society 's guidelines of gender role. It 's as if when we were born, society said that the men will be the ones to make money while the women reared the children. That 's how it 's been for many years in the pre-twenty first century times. People were born with instructions on how to live their lives, and it 's not fair. Fun should not be indicative as socially acceptable if a penis is present on the person.

Just because I am a man does not mean that I want to work. What if I wanted to play the role of a soccer dad who drives a minivan and has one wife? I 'd grown up thinking that a polygynous relationship was fine, while a polyandrous relationship was not acceptable. Both my grandpas had two wives, why shouldn 't I?

Though this is the predominant method used in the United States, there is still a controversy surrounding that decision.…

Personally, I think that men have to be involved in this matter no matter what and they should not have a choice. One way that every man can be involved in this decision is by following his partner for consultation at the doctor. From there, both of them can decide what type of contraceptive they are comfortable with and they can make their decisions together.…
