The Effects of Sexual Stealthing
Briefly

Stealthing refers to the act of removing a condom during sex without a partner's consent. It can involve various deceptive practices, such as lying about using a condom or making a condom ineffective. Stealthing can be classified as sexual assault since consent cannot be fully informed without both partners' knowledge. This behavior can result in serious consequences, such as the risk of STIs and unwanted pregnancies. While stealthing is recognized in some countries as a criminal offense, it remains a civil offense in parts of the U.S.
Stealthing, the act of removing a condom without consent, can be seen as a form of sexual assault, violating trust and consent during sexual intercourse.
The actions associated with stealthing can lead to increased risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, highlighting the serious health implications involved.
Many individuals engage in stealthing due to a variety of reasons, reflecting a broader issue around consent and sexual ethics that complicates discussions around the topic.
Legal consequences for stealthing vary widely by region, with countries like Australia and Canada criminalizing it, whereas in the United States, it is largely a civil issue.
