Condoms were practically nonexistent in this world—an object as foreign as a star in the daylight.
In truth, people here didn't really follow or even acknowledge the idea of contraceptives when it came to family planning. It wasn't part of the culture, nor was it a matter up for discussion. The idea of preventing pregnancy was so alien, it might as well have been a myth whispered in the wind.
They were, in other words, a concept not even remotely considered or valued.
Still, despite that, there were plenty of individuals—especially women working in prostitution dens—who did wish for that kind of protection.
These women, who sold their bodies for a living, didn't want to risk getting pregnant with a customer's child.
That's why they often made special requests, like asking the customer to pull out before finishing, or to release inside their mouths instead, where the risk was minimal.
