Hi guys, do you guys wear condoms every time you have sex?
I’m on birth control and I get the feeling my boyfrjend doesn’t want to wear a condom but that makes me nervous to just rely on a pill and pulling out. Any advice?
RavenAre you exclusive?
Have you both been checked for STI’s?
How long have you 2 been together?LizWe are exclusive but recently had sex for the first time. And I just felt wrong about not using one.
He said he usually doesn’t with a girlfriend he knows is clean and he has been tested recently. He is cleanI just worry about other possibilities like HPV etc. I had the shot when I was younger but I am just an anxiety filled person.
And I feel like now I’m going to try to avoid sex becusse I don’t feel comfortable without one. But I wanted to know if that’s normal or what people do
I’m not very experienced. Mid 20’s and this is only the second man I’ve slept with ever.
No glove no loveBirth control is NOT fool proof and do not believe him when he says he is an expert at pulling out.

Its a risk you take when you do the deed.
AmesSome stats state that birth control is 99% effective, others say 91%. I’ve met more than two people who’ve gotten pregnant while on the pill (and some with IUD’s). So there is still a chance. Men don’t like wearing condoms but that’s not really our problem. Maybe speak with your obstetrician? An expert in the field would know more. I don’t think men get tested for HPV. Have you been tested? Also, the virus can be latent for a long time and not show up on Pap smears. And I’m not sure if the vaccine is 100% effective either. Anyways, I would speak to a Dr…not get answers from the internet or esp this site!
AmesOh, and ps there’s a reason they call it “pull and pray.” Pre-cum gets you pregnant!
NewbieI prefer no condoms myself. But that is in a sexually exclusive relationship. I never was very worried about having sex since in the end its a natural act. But thats just me. What ames said, to talk to a docter also makes sense.
