Or you could do what I do and just not rape people. It's just as simple. Know what rape is and then just don't do it. If you don't rape people then you have nothing to fear. Like 99.99% of sexually active guys who don't commit sexual crimes are never falsely accused of commiting sexual crimes. People in this thread are acting like there is some rapeconspirasy against men or something. Like being falsely accused of rape is some common occurrence. It's not.

Not true at all and it strikes me as irresponsible to even suggest such.  You should always, always protect yourself.  None of us, including you, have any idea how many dismissed rape cases are instances of false rape accusations.  As it takes a massive amount of evidence to convict someone of lying about rape, researchers have long held the opinion that nailing down real numbers is impossible.  Dismissed cases never go any further because they are impossible to prove one way or another.  We KNOW that it happens, which means that it can happen to any person at any time.  

There are a lot of crappy, fucked up people out there who will lie when it benefits them.  Men certainly do not have a monopoly on that.
