And the campaigns aim their ads at blokes all the time about wearing condoms. Its the woment hat don't want them. I have heard quite a few girls like yourself say they hate condoms.
as I bloke I use condoms, though not always....
Yeah, I have found they slide sometimes,
Most girls complain they don't feel the same as riding bareback.
Coil is tricky to imput I thought and the implant affects fertility,
easier then putting a johnny on everytime though.
Before that i had some bad experiences with condoms splitting etc. plus i really just don't like them, so we don't use those anymore.
Patch all the way, love. My boobs got a bit sore, and I've lost weight. Canny knock it.
And the pill
You really do scare me when you say things like that though!
I found that one or two of them really made mine worse but i think it's just a case of trial and error to be fair. Whatever you take might affect your IBS or might not.
At the moment i just use condoms as due to start a new pill soon but it's a right faff around and they're just unreliable as like paperdoll had a few accidents happen and it's not fun.
risky.
are you catholic or married or both can I ask??
I dont have a religion
i'm on the pill and if it's with a boyfriend who i trust etc then no other form of contraception but if it's someone else then a condom, too.
cool.
If I was trying to avoid pregnancy then of course Id use something.
I used to have an IUS which was brilliant, but I had it taken out a few months ago.
cool. Good luck with it all and I hope things go well for you
I would never remember to take the pill!
I thought that too but it actually turned out to my advantage. I take a bunch of pills every day and never remember to take those, then once I started to take the oc, I remembered every pill every day
I liked the shot though, got the shot, when I was there we made an appt for the next one so the only thing you had to remember was show up at the docs at your time
Condoms are not a good idea to use as your sole means of contraception unless you're not too fussed about having babies.
I used to use condoms and whilst I didn't have a problem with reliability of condoms or with them splitting I much prefer sex without a condom. My boyfriend isn't that fussed either way but I really prefer it bareback.
It's a bit of a myth that it's the guys that dislike them I think. But obviously they do serve a purpose in terms of STI protection.
Maybe im unusual or maybe its psychosomatic, who knows, all I know is thats what i get :yes:
