dental cleaning is considered a prophylactic treatment so you'll need to tighten up your language before anyone can truly understand what it is you're trying to convey.

I suspect you're trying to convey the preference for sex without a condom as misogynistic, except that women also prefer sex without a condom, it's a question of safety vs pleasure.

https://www.rxlist.com/prophylactic/definition.htm

> A prophylactic is a medication or a treatment designed and used to prevent a disease from occurring. For example, prophylactic antibiotics may be used after a bout of rheumatic fever to prevent the subsequent development of Sydenham's chorea.

> A prophylactic is also a drug or device, particularly a condom, for preventing pregnancy.

In this case, dental treatments are used to prevent gum disease and tooth decay, for this reason, they are considered prophylactic treatments.

Yeah, it looks like this is some experimental ’bot.

I guess we’ll just have to get used to this kind of thing.
