A German woman has been jailed for sneakily poking holes in her lover’s condoms in an underhanded attempt to get pregnant.
Known as “stealthing,” the seedy practice occurs when someone surreptitiously removes a condom during sexual intercourse.
The perpetrator had reportedly been involved in a “friends with benefits”-style relationship with the victim since 2021, and would regularly meet up for hanky panky. However, she soon craved a deeper connection, a feeling that was not shared by her bed buddy, who preferred their casual arrangement.
