Issa Rae Explains “Insecure” Condom Controversy
After outrage over sex scenes in her hit HBO show, Issa Rae is offering an explanation. As we previously pointed out, several fans criticized the show for showing people having sex without using condoms. In particular, folks were BIG mad when Lawrence smashed Tasha then hours later hooked up with Issa.
According to Issa herself, however, safe sex is implied and often times condoms are present in the background.

Can y’all not?
People are now big mad that Issa even addressed the controversy and they’re calling detractors “hypocrites” who didn’t mind lack of condom use in shows like “Scandal” and “Power.”

So here’s a question; do most shows actively show condom use unless it’s to make for an awkward pre-sex moment?
