People who use condoms in committed relationships (woman, love, family)

[nyanna]

If you are in a committed relationship with a partner who still uses condoms does this mean that the person is not serious about you? or that they don't love or trust you? I'm asking because of the comments on here saying that condoms are just for one night stands

I never understood why someone would use condoms in a committed relationship. What's the point?

Might as well stay playing the field

Partner could have an STD, maybe they don't want to have a baby, woman is opposed to oral contraception, some people might find the use of condoms sexy, can be used to spice up the sex life by pretending one is being intimate with someone they've just met....

It's called birth control.

Some people use condoms for that purpose.

It's not about a committed relationship, it's about family planning.

What's the big deal.

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

I don't regularly have sex. So don't see the point. And I don't want those hormones in my body.

It can completely kill a woman's sex drive, thereby nullifying the point of non-procreative sex.

You might want to educate yourself a bit before simply labeling things "stupid."

Well, If a couple is going to go this route they need to be very upfront with their health history and how they feel about children/pregnancy. An STD will not discriminate because of love, And even non-promiscuous people can and do get them and many times do not even know it Once this is discussed honestly they can proceed from there. If one partner indeed has something, either benign or more serious they need to let the other know. No playing around with someones health hoping for the best.

Until then, play at your own risk.

I have told my sons to always use condoms. Birth control is not only a woman's responsibility. And until a man is ready to have a family and is with the woman he wants to share a life with...he better be using protection.

Child support can run $700 a month for 18 plus years....that buys a lot of condoms.
