"Ukuntshontsha," noma isenzo sokususa ngasese ikhondomu ngemuva kokuvunyelwana ngokuvikelwa, bekuyinto eyinkinga iminyaka. Kepha manje, iCalifornia yenza lesi senzo singekho emthethweni.

Ngo-Okthoba 2021, iCalifornia yaba izwe lokuqala ukwenqabela "ukuntshontsha," noMbusi uGavin Newson wasayina lo mthetho-mthetho. Umthethosivivinywa unweba incazelo yezwe yebhethri locansi ngakho ufaka lo mkhuba, ngokusho Inyosi yeSacramento, futhi izovumela izisulu ukuthi ziphishekele icala lezomthetho ngamademeshe. "Ngokuphasisa lo mthethosivivinywa, sigcizelela ukubaluleka kwemvume," kuTwitter ihhovisi likaGov Newsom ngo-Okthoba 2021.

Owesifazane we-Assemblywoman uCristina Garcia, osize ukubhala lo mthethosivivinywa, uphinde wakhuluma nawo esitatimendeni sango-Okthoba 2021. "Bengisebenza ngodaba 'lokuntshontsha' kusukela ngo-2017 futhi ngijabule ngokuthi manje kunesibopho sokuphendula ngalabo abenza lesi senzo. Ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi, ikakhulukazi labo besifazane abanemibala, kuhlale kugijinywa ngaphansi kombhoxo," kusho uDkt. UGarcia, ngokusho kuka Inyosi yeSacramento.

I-Stealthing isibe yingxenye yengxoxo kazwelonke yokudlwengula ngemva kokuba u-Alexandra Brodsky othweswe iziqu e-Yale Law School eshicilele ucwaningo ngo-April 2017 oluchaza kabanzi ngokuthi amadoda emaqenjini athile aku-inthanethi angahwebelana kanjani ngamathiphu mayelana nendlela yokukhohlisa ozakwabo ukuthi bangasisebenzisi isivikelo. Lokhu bekubandakanya izinto ezinjengokufaka ikhondomu ephukile noma ukusebenzisa izikhundla ezithile zocansi ukuze owesifazane angaboni indoda isusa ikhondomu, konke kubhoke emcabangweni wokuthi ngeke akubone okwenzekile kuze kwephuze kakhulu. Ngokuyisisekelo, lawa madoda azizwa enesifiso sokuya emuva engenacala ngemuva kwelungelo lowesifazane lokungakhulelwa noma ukugwema ukuthola isifo esithathelwana ngocansi. (I-PSA: Ingozi yama-STD iphakeme kakhulu kunendlela ocabanga ngayo.)

Lokhu akwenzeki nje emaqenjini ambalwa wezingxoxo ezingabonakali, noma. UBrodsky wathola ukuthi abangane bakhe besifazane abaningi nabangane bakhe babenezindaba ezifanayo. Kusukela lapho, ucwaningo selushicilelwe oluqinisekisa lokho akutholile okuyinganekwane. Ucwaningo olulodwa lwango-2019 lwamadoda angama-626 (aneminyaka engama-21 kuya kwengama-30 ubudala) ePacific Northwest lwathola ukuthi amaphesenti ayi-10 awo ayebambe intshontsho kusukela eneminyaka engu-14, ngokwesilinganiso sezikhathi ezingama-3.62. Olunye ucwaningo lwango-2019 lwabesifazane abangama-503 (abaneminyaka engama-21 kuye kwengama-30) luthole ukuthi amaphesenti ayi-12 kubo ayenabalingani bocansi abahlanganyela ekuntshontsheni. Lolo cwaningo luphinde lwathola ukuthi cishe uhhafu wabesifazane babike ukuthi umlingani umelana nokusetshenziswa kwekhondomu ngendlela ephoqayo (ngenkani noma esongelayo); amaphesenti angu-87 abika umlingani owenqaba ukusebenzisa ikhondomu ngendlela engaphoqi.

Ngenkathi abesifazane u-Brodsky bekhuluma nababikiwe bezizwa bengakhululekile futhi becasukile, iningi labo belingaqiniseki ukuthi ukuntshontsha "kubalwa" njengokudlwengula.

Nokho, kuyabala. Uma owesifazane evuma ukuya ocansini ngekhondomu, ukususa ikhondomu ngaphandle kwemvume yakhe kusho ukuthi ucansi alusekho ekuvumelaneni. Wavuma ukuya ocansini ngaphansi kwemibandela yekhondomu. Shintsha leyo migomo, bese ushintsha ukuzimisela kwakhe ukuqhubeka nesenzo. (Bheka: Kuyini Ukuvuma, Ngempela?)

Asikwazi ukukugcizelela ngokwanele lokhu: Ukuthi "yebo" ekwenzeni ucansi akusho ukuthi uvumele ngokuzenzakalelayo zonke izenzo zocansi ongazicabanga. Futhi akusho ukuthi omunye umuntu angashintsha imigomo, njengokukhipha ikhondomu, ngaphandle kokukulungela.

Futhi iqiniso lokuthi abesilisa bayakwenza "ngokunyenya" kukhombisa ukuthi bona yazi akulungile. Ngaphandle kwalokho, kungani ungavele ubheke phambili ngakho? Ukusikisela: Ngoba ukuba namandla phezu kowesifazane kuyingxenye yalokho okwenza "ukuntshontsha" kuhehe amanye amadoda. (Related: Buyini Ubudoda Bunobuthi, Futhi Kungani Buyingozi Kangaka?)

Ngenhlanhla, ngo-2017, abomthetho baqala ukuthatha isinyathelo. NgoMeyi 2017, iWisconsin, iNew York, neCalifornia zonke zaletha izikweletu ezizovimbela ukuntshontshwa — kodwa kwathatha kwaze kwaba ngu-Okthoba 2021 ukuthi lowo mthetho waseCalifornia wenziwe umthetho, futhi izikweletu zaseNew York naseWisconsin zisazophasiswa.

"Ukususwa kwamakhondomu ngokungacabangi kufanele kuthathwe njengokuhlukumeza ukwethembana nesithunzi," kusho uCarolyn Maloney (New York) omele isitatimende ngaleso sikhathi. "Kuyangithusa ukuthi kufanele sibe nale ngxoxo, ukuthi umuntu ocansini ephula ukwethenjwa nozakwethu kanje. Ukuntshontsha kuwukuhlukumeza ngokocansi."

Yize kubonakala sengathi i-US inendlela okumele ihambe ngayo ngaphambi kokuthi ukweba kunqanyulwe ezweni lonke, amazwe anjengeJalimane, iNew Zealand ne-UK asevele athatha ukweba njengendlela yokuhlukumeza ngokocansi, ngokusho kombiko. BBC. Nasi sethemba ukuthi isinqumo saseCalifornia sizobeka isibonelo kuzo zonke ezinye izifunda zase-U.S.

Ukuthola eminye imininingwane ngokuhlukumeza noma ukuhlukumeza ngokocansi kwanoma yiluphi uhlobo, noma ukuthola usizo uma uhlukunyeziwe, iya ku-RAINN.org, uxoxe ku-inthanethi nomeluleki, noma ushayele inombolo yocingo kazwelonke yamahora angama-24 ku-1-800-656- ITHEMBA
