What Does Seeing Used Condoms in the Trash Indicate for Men

Seeing used condoms in the trash may suggest unprotected sex or casual encounters, which can influence a man's comfort level. Reactions vary; some may feel turned off or suspicious, while others might not be bothered if trust is established. Context and communication are key in how this affects perceptions during intimacy.

Curious, guys, if you met up with a girl, went to her place to do the deed, and saw some used condoms in the bathroom trash, would that turn you off or would you keep going? What would you think?

I was watching a movie on Netflix called The Pill and this happened. He was turned off about it until she told him it was her roommate's. The next morning, he figured out she didn't have a roommate. Wasn't the best movie, but it made me curious as to the guy thought process. Thought it would be an interesting discussion.

As a female, I think it's a bit of a double standard to make the assumption that she wouldn't be worth seeing.

Some girls have casual sex between relationships. A girl should try to make sure it's not apparent though. It can be a bit of a turn off to see some dude's spunk filled condom in the garbage. However, people are human. Having sex is natural. I surely sleep with whoever I please until things are official with someone I am interested in.

Yeah it would be a turn off.
No one likes the idea of being sloppy seconds.
Im sure if women saw a condom on a dudes floor they would get turned off too..

Isn't it like having tampons or pads in the trash? Some men are bothered when they see that even though they know the red sea parts in women once a month.

Not even in the same stratosphere.

If you're going through your guys faster than you get the chance to empty your trash can,

... then yeah there's no way I can finish that sentence like a gentleman, lulz.

The shock of seeing it in the flesh may turn a man off

But from a rational and logical standpoint, most guys assume that if she's technically single, she is probably sexually active with someone else, even if just 1 guy. And if he already figured that, then there's no reason for the sudden freak out or shock when he sees physical evidence of what he already knew or figured

The back story behind the used condoms is probably what leads to curiosity which then leads to his imagination which then possibly leads to a negative impression/conclusion about her overall/afterwards. And that negative conclusion could very well possibly make him lose any desire to chase/hunt her sexually. If he sees evidence that another man got the cookie, his primal desire to feel like he's getting it b/c he's "the man" gets stripped, thus taking away the desire to chase her (e.i. there's nothing special about me and my game if other guys can hit it easily too---no challenge = no need for the chase)

1 man may see it, think nothing of it & say,"Well hey at least she uses protection," while the next man may walk away saying, "Wow, what a sl***t!" while the next man may not really care since he has no plans on hitting it raw or catching any real feelings

Seeing a used condom in a trash can is no different than seeing a new condom in a wallet. It leads to the same conclusion: Possible sex with someone other than you. Is what it is, especially if he hasn't taken the initiative to be her man on an exclusive level.

On a side note though, eww. I get that condoms are technically supposed to be thrown away, but it would serve a woman/man great justice to make sure it's not visible to guests of any kind. How tacky!
