Not exactly ineffective, they reduce transmission, but not nearly as much as other STDs, but so what? Those are hardly the worst of the STDs. Probably the least to worry about. Especially among the youngsters since the HPV vaccine is so widespread.
I think it would only be suspicious to start using condoms if the people in question have been married for a long time and the woman has been through menopause.
I was in an LTR for close to 9 years and, the first 5 years we used condoms and I was on BC on and off. I believe the one time we didn't use condoms as strictly as we should, I ended up pregnant. On our sixth year together we stopped using condoms, altogether, I was on BC as well, but again probably not taking it as effectively and I ended up pregnant again. That was IT for me. Unless I was married, and we were trying, I will USE condoms at all times. I'm done with BC. It made me suicidal, and depressed, angry, irritable, not interested in sex, and depending on the brand I either lost weight, had nausea, OR gained weight. Too many side effects. And IMO not worth it. Using condoms 100% of the time, seemed more successful for me then BC was anyway.

I've been in a long term committed relationship for 8 years. For the first 6 years of our relationship, I was on the birth control pill and we didn't use condoms. But as time went on, the side effects of the pill really started to bother me. I was irritable and would get angry for no reason at all, for years on the pill I had consistent "periods" for 5-7 days but towards the end I started getting my period for 2 weeks at a time, my libido was low, and to be honest I was also very worried about the effects the pills were having on me after so many years.
I went off of them and realized how foggy they made me feel and how much they effected my mood. My boyfriend really didn't mind, because after going off the pill and starting to use condoms together, we ended up having sex MORE often than ever because my libido went back to normal! I've asked him if he minds having sex with condoms and he said he doesn't and that it doesn't feel very different to him. I think we both appreciate how much easier the clean up is with condoms too.

LOL.... I think your BF just doesn't want the booty train to stop showing up......
Condoms are just awful..... I haven't used every brand, but the few I have tried were just not good.
I remember when time was going at it and I remember thinking "oh these feels pretty good, like not wearing one at all."
Yeah... it was good alright, that sucker broke is why it felt "so natural"
the woman may not like using the pill. I know i've never used the pill before
but some think condom use means that the partner doesn't trust or love you very much
