The first time we make love, I usually ask.  I'm not sure, looking back,
what defines the "usually"; it seems to have to do with how well we are
communicating on non-physical levels at the time.

I have severely exasperated several women by refusing to make love while
unprotected; once the delay of several hours resulted in our getting 
"caught" by her irate father...but I just couldn't see letting a horny
16-year-old with little experience learn about birth control the hard way.
(She didn't get to keep the spermicides I'd bought; her daddy's
attitude probably resulted in her ending up getting a lot of early
experience 'au natural' -- I hope she survived.)

'Minds me of a good topic for new discussions:  Why are most fathers so
over-protective of their daughters (versus their sons)?  I recently
had a romantic relationship with a young woman whose father displayed none
of the usual feelings, surprising and pleasing me (and her).  Howcome
everybody's not like that?
