I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your choice to wear condoms but I wanted to throw out a few thoughts.

Condoms can and do fail, just the same as a woman can forget to take a pill.

I'm not sure I understand your statement that you wouldn't use a condom if you had been married for years. You've been with this girl for 6 years. That's a pretty significant period of time. Is there a specific time frame where you'd stop using it - 10 years, 15 years? Does that time include your relationship prior to marriage? I'm not being snarky...just wondering.

Listen, I don't fault you for wanting to be safe but I think you took lovesMountains' comment completely out of context. Once you do have sex without a condom you will realize how different it is. That's all she was saying...

Once you have unprotected sex you will never want to use a condom again. But, I understand your caution.

Don't you think if you really believed this you would not be having sex with someone you're not in a committed relationship and broke up with over 30 days prior.

In those 30 days she could have picked up the HIV Virus and even with a condom you put yourself at high risk. Passing body fluids even with a condom is very possible.

Anyways, I just got back from her house a few minutes ago and I kid you not, this was the best sex I have ever had in my entire life. When we were together, we would always argue over sex and we would go sometimes weeks without it because she has a low sex drive due to some health problems.

My dilemma is: We are oficially broken up and I really want to move on but the physical and emotional connection I felt today was very strong and I don't know what to do.

I don't think a relationship would work at this point because of our differences but I left her house very happy and satisfied, especially because I was not expecting it. Now,I am very confused and I wanted to understand why the sex this time was so good and so passionate, much more than we were officially in a relationship. Should we continue to have casual sex or NOT? I am just very confused right now

I agree with the other posters in that you could get her pregnant and then be stuck with a woman you don't get along with FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE in one way or another.

I was in your shoes with my last relationship. We broke up but I was still having relations for a few months after but I thought to myself; "why take the chance of getting a girl pregnant who I don't even get along with outside of being intimate?". So I left for good and I have no regrets.

While not bashing unprotected sex, there have been great advances in condoms in the past few years. There is big difference between older condoms, and some newer ones on the market.

If you haven't purchased condoms in a while, you may want to give a try to what's new out there. You can buy variety packs to sample which ones work the best for you.

An additional trick that works for some, is to put a drop of condom safe lube inside the condom before putting it on.

I find your post strange in the respect, you only mention how the sex was for you....pleasing your partner is just as important as pleasing yourself, possibly thats where a problem lies in your relationship.

In a word, "Yuck!"
