Men do you ask if a woman is on birth control before having sex? (boyfriends, love)

That says far more about you than it does about me.

hey it was your choice, not mine dear. It affects you because you let it, as for me..well it goes down as one of the funniest things I've read on the forum.

It's nice that you think humor comes out of peoples misery.

and this is why we need to ask... if someone is this ignorant...nothing but trouble ahead.

Actually, I agree with her. Why would I pump chemicals and faux hormones in my body if I don't plan on having sex for a good long time? I haven't had sex in over a year and don't plan on doing it any time soon so I don't worry about birth control.

[OdysseusNY]

i usually ask, but not always

sometimes the information is volunteered

[Prince_Frog]

I've never asked the question out of the blue.

It can come up when the discussion of sex

Of course, those women also knew me well enough to know that if I was expecting action, I was packing a condom or 2.

Men don't ask me. At my age, it would take lots of mojo for that anyway. Plus, I got rid of the "oven". I was done cooking buns.

Yep, if there's some misconception that guys have that all women are on the pill, please read, and reread the above. It is getting INCREASINGLY more common for women to go off hormonal BC, due to a preponderance of troubling side effects. If you're a guy who just assumes that women are all on oral contraceptives, I'd seriously think again. And, you should be wrapping it up, anyway. Oral contraceptives don't to squat for STDs.

It's none of a man's business if his sexual partner is on bc or not.

If he doesn't want to be a daddy, he needs to make sure she gets none of his little fishes. This is quite easy to do, either by using a condom, having oral sex only, or (here's a thought) saying no.

Then it doesn't matter if she's a conniving, sperm stealing, wallet removing ho.

Are men really fussy or care to know in the first place.... if a womans on the pill.. quite laughable.
