but add “when the condom is not preventing anything”

"Would you wear a seatbelt if you knew you weren't going to crash?"

I don't know that. I don't know the condom isn't preventing anything. That's the whole point. It's a precautionary measure that let's me enjoy sex without worrying about the consequences.

If your partner is infertile, and you know that both of you have no STIs, neither of you are going to want to use a condom.

Okay but what happens if you're having sex under the age of 50?

“Would you wear a seatbelt if you knew you weren’t going to crash?”

I don’t know that. I don’t know the condom isn’t preventing anything.

Dude...It's a hypothetical...the "whole point" is that people only use condoms (and seat belts) because they do something that the user needs done. That's why people wear seat belts in their car, but not on their couch at home.

No one actually enjoys using condoms, and as soon as their functionality (contraception and/or STI prevention) isn't needed, they're ditched immediately. Just like how people don't put on a seat belt when they're getting into their car to sit stationary in their driveway and listen to music or something.

Okay, you got me. I don't need a condom to have hypothetical sex.
