Mega meta pop phenomenon Lady Gaga is at it again! As if I needed another reason to love the Lady, her newest tirade about teens and safer sex in this article Lady Gaga’s Message to Fans: “Have Safe Sex” totally made me smile and nod.
I really like this part, where she talks about her fans:
“I see them every night and they are so beautiful and precious and lovely, but some of them are insecure and very troubled and not confident,” she said.
“I meet them and they cry, and they say ‘Gaga you make me feel like I belong’.
“And I think to myself about that one girl or those hundreds of thousands of girls who meet that guy at a club who makes them feel like they belong and they don’t have that negotiation.”
I think she brings up a great point about how body image and self confidence can really impact a person’s enjoyment of sex and their ability to negotiate things like condom use. Non?
Gaga also recently caused a fuss when she launched her own brand of designer condoms.
Also, whether a person is sexually active or not, they can still wear a garbage bag-like contraption on their heads a la Gaga - SEXY, SAFE AND STYLISH!
