As a result of the bans, some Texans say they’re having deeper conversations earlier on in dating — not just about contraception and potential pregnancy, but about values. The result can be increased intimacy, but also exhaustion, particularly among women.Annie Fichtner remembers a conversation she had this summer with a guy she had been dating for about a month. They were talking about how often he used condoms when having sex.
So, when the person she was dating said he didn’t always use condoms, the conversation moved to sexually transmitted infections and then contraception and then: What would happen if she were to get pregnant?had just been overturned and most abortions had already been illegal in Texas for about a year. She hadn’t necessarily thought about having this conversation until she found herself“It's going to be quite the process if I need to [get an abortion]. Especially financially.
One result, Wise said, is that women may be dating more intentionally. They may be vetting peoples’ values and politics when they first meet them, as opposed to weeks or months into knowing someone. Arendt, who uses dating apps, includes that he’s had a vasectomy in his profile — among perhaps less consequential facts like that he keeps his toenails trim and is a good cook. When he matches with people, he said, his vasectomy is one of the first things they comment on.
This isn't the first time she's seen a shift like this in dating. After the racial justice protests in 2020, Singh said, people started to be more discerning about shared values, even when casually dating, asking questions like,"Where do you stand in terms of anti-racism and liberation? How invested are you in social justice?"
