Love this video! As someone who lives near Brunswick its great to learn more about its history, and I feel like you've captured the culture really well :)
A woman stealthed me years ago. She was able to pull off the condom hands free, and to time it the second before busting so she'd get filled before you could react. The first time or two I chalked it up to an accident, but it was a consistent pattern. I got a bit mad over the deceptiveness of it. The truth was that if she had been up front with me, I would have gone bare with her or even given her a child if that's what she wanted.
I do this from time to time when the rubber is screwing up the sensation. I tell the chick to turn over into doggy style and take the condom off before I go in. So far so good. No STDs or pregnancies... 👍👍 ✌
I lived in Brunswick for close to 25 years . They were the best years of my life . I live in the suburbs now but I want to move back to Brunswick one day . I miss living in Brunswick . Close to everything and a vibrant inner city suburb . When you buy property in Brunswick , you are buying a lifestyle . A great suburb 😀
I can tell you from speaking with other guys about it that we see it merely as taking it off as it feels better. And for myself when I’m with a woman I always talk to her about it before we do the deed together. Must be said as well from a guy’s perspective you need 100% trust with the woman if she tells you she’s on birth control if you plan to finish inside. So the trust and consent definitely works both ways.
Well made video, thank you. Such grey area, particularly in Northern Territory here, last Australian state / territory to do anything about it. None of the police I dealt with yesterday had any idea what it was, but they were wonderfully supportive.
Within the realm of what is immoral and utterly deplorable, people are trying to dictate what is wrong and right; fornication is a sin, sex outside of marriage which is legal, common and promoted in this heathenistic society. Is it a wonder that "stealthing" happens? You people are fools.
It should be illegal, even though its difficult to prosecute. Women who say they are on birth control and are not, should also be prosecuted. Its virtually the same thing. I am surprised this was not brought up. Regarding the stealthing, if the man finishes inside, I would agree its a form of rape. If he does not finish inside, I don't think its rape.
A law was just accepted in Holland covering this. My personal opinion is that it’s nice to hear but impossible to really use. A condomn can go off by accident, when can you proof that anybody purposely took it off. Wouldnt it always come down to his word against her word. And I believe there are asshole who would do such things but then again I do believe some woman would use this to get even. So unless the guy says in writing he will take the condomn off before doing it, you will never be able to really proof anything.
All these women here complaining about the strange men they invited in their beds. It is disgusting 🤮. You peole first share the bed then you decide if you actually want to get to know each other better. It is ridiculous.
It's not just happening to women who sleep with someone they don't know. If you look in the comments alone, you'll see that it even happens to women in relationships. It's about respecting your sex partner's health, safety, and autonomy.
@@gravityclarity hmm havent thought about it from that perspective. In a relationship it is very disrespectful indeed. But it happens to us men too. Often women forget the pill “accidentally” and then you become a father. I think there never will be a solution if we keep seeing men as perpetrators and women as victims. Both genders have perpetrators and victims.
@@jackdewipper187 nobody ever said that wasn’t the case. But it’s usually men who beg women to have unprotected sex. They’re usually the ones who do this sick stealthing thing because they care more about their own pleasure than they do the safety of their female sex partners. A lot of men have no respect for women whatsoever and just want to get off. I really don’t like that. It’s disgusting and unacceptable.
@@jackdewipper187 called no birth control is 100%. So it's called insist on spermicide as a back up and equally share in the cost of Plan B even if she is on the birth control as other medications she takes or ends up on can render the birth control pill ineffective. . If partner is not willing to insist on back up method in case birth control failure man is free to say no to sex without back up protection. Married friend of mine she was on birth control he used a condom she had little Jack and damn near bled to death having him. She got a tubal ligation after . She had wanted on before but Dr refused . Should we charge Drs then when they refuse women in committed relationship access to a more permanent method such as tubal ligation. My father had a vasectomy first procedure failed along came my brother and he went back and had the procedure repeated. Same with women that have underlying medical conditions and want a tubal ligation because she does want to take those risks . Condoms break I know I had to fish one that broke off but guess what my partner insisted on spermicide and plan B as back ups . Never got pregnant for damn near 10yrs because we always used spermicide along with birth control and spermicide gel that kills sperm along with condoms.
You realise how fucking hard it is to ALREADY prove r*ape of penetration even with adequate evidence. Do you have any idea how many cases are settled outside of court of the minor percentage that actually do even get to court. The likelihood is slim, and if that's your concern, read the damn legislation yourself
I came here to understand a reference from an anime film I just watched. I'll stay for the thorough explanation and excellent content (can't wait to see the other videos).
Just try good men and not just handsome, selfish and wealthy men. You'll see that everything will change in your life. Many kind men are lonely out there.
@@ginger942 There are tons of good men, you're just like the typical oblivious woman. You only want tall men with muscles and money and social status. Stop being so picky. Also: 99.9% of men WOULD NOT take their condom off to ejaculate in you. NO WAY in hell. Why would we want a child with a random woman that now we're stuck paying for because of child support? Who in their right mind would want that? Come on. Worst case scenario he might take the condom off but he's still going to pull out. That's not ethical to do obviously but as a man, the condom cuts our pleasure by more than half so it's almost not even worth it. They suckkkkkk
Better stop “trying” we men are not a toy. If you want respect from a man. Then first start to get to know us for at least one year minimum before you open your legs. Women nowadays spread their legs open wide after the 3rd date. No wonder we treat you like trash.
Happened to me the other day and he said he would go he tested. He says he did and that he’s “clean” but refused to show his std results, saying it was his “personal information.” I was forced to go to the er and I am on prep, had to take plan b, was given a shot to prevent the contraction of chalmydia and gonnorhea, have to pick up antibiotics, make a follow up appointment to get the rest of the doses of prep, and I have to deal with the emotional trauma. He had the audacity to tell me that I was the one that took of the condom (which he did not once but TWICE) and he told me I was “disrespecting” HIM by demanding his std results. I was dumbfounded. As if he didn’t disrespect me by taking the condom off without my consent.
What he did is ethically wrong and immoral yeah. Technically it is his personal medical information but it's also up to you to say no. I've shown my results before to a few women because I hate condoms that much and refuse to use them. It's like wrapping your clitoris in seran wrap and having the guy eat you out. Cuts the pleasure down to basically nothing, so what's the point? As a guy, condoms are AWFUL. We still need to respect a woman though if she wants the condom on. Sex has to be consensual.
@@wombat5252 Exactly. His actions have costed me thousands of dollars. Just got the first bill and it’s almost $2,800 so far. Expecting two more bills.
I'm not sure where you live, but in the US, someone with an STD gets their STD reported and the person's sexual partners have to be notified because it's a public health issue.
@@gravityclarity I live in the US as well, but HIPPA… You have no right to that info until you get infected with an std, lawyer up (thousands) and go after the person, demanding medical records
Not rape. Far left grifting again,perverting definitions to create victims is shitty behaviour! NOT RAPE!🤬 Stealthing is shitty behaviour! What is next ladies??? This comes from the same culture/faction that believes that the world needs a reduction in males,that includes locking men up!😮💨
Feminists like this one in the video want you to believe that men are doing to somehow impregnate random women they don't know. They are so F'n stupid. Removing the condom without her knowing is ethically wrong and immoral, but punishable? No. They don't understand that a guy is simply taking it off because you can barely feel anything with it on! That's not actual rape, it's far from it.
Well if you didn't consent to unprotected sex, it's a specific kind of sex that you didn't want. So that kinda is rape. It's not about feminism. It's about respecting the wishes of your partner when it comes to their health and safety. It's not right to expose your partner to the risk of unwanted pregnancies or STIs without their consent. Men who do this are gross.
I've lived in Brunswick all of my adult life. I'm extremely passionate about the suburbs with not just pubs, cafes & other variety it has to offer. Its also has (May I add) health & fitness gyms. In fact about thirty in & around the suburbs as well.
I've removed a condom and finished in a woman who didn't want me too, on multiple occasions. At least fifty percent of the anal sex I've recieved as involved Stealthing. As a man who once got gang raped, I am certain that Stealthing shouldn't be classified as rape or a criminal offence.
Problem is this is a sexiest piece of legislation and does offer legal equality. If a women interferes with a condom causing it to break or be damaged, no man can accuse a woman of rape.
I live in Brunswick and wouldn't live anywhere else in Melbourne. Been here at least 15 years and I am so happy to have brought my kids up in the beautiful melting pot of so many cultures. It has made them such lovely accepting people. I think we all need a little bit of Brunswick in us. Thank you for this awesome video Rafqa. (We have loved A1 Bakery for years) Wish you had time to go to the Retreat Hotel, the beer garden is fab!
This comment made my day! Thank you so much watching and letting me know your thoughts. I will have to visit again to check out the Retreat Hotel - sounds so cool!
She says rape "violates ones bodily autonomy", you mean like when a woman sabotages a condom, aborts your child against your will, or when she commits paternity fraud or just flat out lies about being raped is caught and never spends a day in prison. And on and on and on, oh but not those kinds of violations right feminists! Whatever......
Loved this story on my suburb of Brunswick. I've lived here for almost 40 years and never tire of its variety and ability to surprise. You even managed to get a photo of me walking down Sydney Road so I really do feel like I'm finally a local!
