This is a disturbing trend

[PJMcK]

"Stealthing" is a new term to me. It refers to the nonconsensual act of a man secretly removing his condom during sex.

A report by the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law details the growth of this trend. "Lead author Alexandra Brodsky argues that “stealthing..." is a form of sexual assault and should be treated as such."

This article, from the New York Post, brings important information and I encourage DUers to read it:

1. The evidence presented for this phenomena is entirely anecdotal.

2. That's in the article

Here's the link to the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law's website featuring the study's abstract. It can link you to the full study. I skimmed it quickly and it's a fairly interesting and serious study.

Keep in mind that it seems to be a recent development and there appears to be an online group supporting this heinous behavior.

3. Sweden calls it rape

because a woman has only consented to protected sex. I think they're probably right about this.

4. That's the impetus behind the study

There don't appear to be clear laws in the US about this behavior and I believe this is part of the author's reason for the study.
