Considering how well preventable STI’s still get around, I’d say that sentiment is a little too common. That or a lot of people are hot garbage at risk assessment.
People are, in fact, hot garbage at risk assessment. See, for example, how many people refused to mask/vax during the height of the pandemic, and the concurrent death rates…
I mean I would say its a heck of a lot easier. Having a condom all day would be kinda hard to deal with but wearing a mask is essentially the same as wearing a hat.
Yeah it does not have that much of a natural feel to me but its never been much of an imposition. The most difficult thing is I have glasses and live in a place that has winters so like my glasses can get fogged although my scarf does that to. I actually have an idea for next year on that. You know though it is kinda wierd though because now I kinda relate unmasked as kinda private and intimate. Like it feels a bit lewd to be walking around without one. Maybe like walking around without a shirt as a guy. So maybe more impolite than lewd.
For my part, I no longer have to figure out what face I should wear when around people. As someone with autism, adjusting to humanity can be troubling.
its kinda nice to because you see someone else with one and you give a little nod or such. I sorta miss hanging in a subculture and in a way this provides that nice little thing.
WEARING A MASK IS LIKE WEARING A CONDOM.
Would you risk a permanent disease for the sake of “ehh I dont like how it feels”?

I think it’s people believing it won’t happen to them. There is risk, but I will be an exception.
I happen to know when my (now ex-) wife cheated on me, she raw dogged him… Never would have expected that from her, she’s such a germophobe otherwise…
we are evolutionarily disposed to take risks with sex.
“I can only breathe with a mask on my face when im hiding my identity to beat up on people of color!!! Any other time though, fuck off!!!”
anti-vaxxers, conservatives likely dont wear condoms too, hence they have higher pregnancy and STDS.
Hard to find one small enough
It’s actually only a good analogy if you have an STI you’re preventing giving to others.
Masks keep YOU from spreading what you have unless it’s KN-95 or better iirc.
I like you.

A mask is like socks and underwear for me: I feel weird if I don’t have it on, especially when wandering about.

Forget the STI how is 18 years of child support gonna feel?
It’s more like wearing a condom so you don’t spread your STI.
Hell yeah
