Im not going to continue with this back and forth. I have no idea what your talkin about but your entitled to your opinion


Why everyone is getting angry about something that is Perfectly normal and is practiced by millions of couples around the world is something I'll never know


And I never started this thread

My wife and I have used condoms. Not sure why there would be a stigma with it.

We use them because my wife starts suffering side effects from the pill, and there really is no reason to put her through them while trying to maintain some kind of birth control.

P.S. The condom does NOT protect you from STD's completely. It only covers part of the genitalia. STD's can and do lurk in the exposed part of the genitalia. Even with a condom, you're playing Russian roulette.

I'm only going off president, every girl I'm ever been in a serious relationship has used birth control(2 of the 3 were on it before me) so when I say " that will stop" I'm only going off on what I'm a costumed to.

I've only seen this anti birth control crusade on the Internet. Its one of the best inventions in the history of the Human race . Changed life as we know it

You must not read all the posts.

Taking drugs for one thing and ignoring the serious side effects .. CLEAR for you now?

I was supporting your position but since you don't seem to want it I take it back.

A few points

1. Yes, that's exactly why I wear a condom- Are you assuming that your 2 FWB's are having sex with other guys or do you know for fact that they are?
2. None of my 2 current partners have an STD-for now. You do realize it takes months for symptoms to occur?
3. I would never have unprotected sex with someone who had an STD, even if they were on birth control. I'm not retarded
How do you know they have an STD or not? Just like you have multiple partners, they can too. When you're having sex with these partners, are you wearing a condom at ALL times?

Perhaps you should re-read the point I was making. You can be 24 and not have common sense whereas an 18 year old might. The fact that you're 24 just means you're old enough. What is wrong with the youth today bedhopping with all these benies? Sheesh. Anyway, you said that the reason you wear condoms is because ONE of your 2 FWB's is on the pill but can have sex with other guys so you have to protect YOURSELF. Do you listen to yourself when you speak? YOU have TWO FWB's so wearing the condom protects HER also. You can have multiple partners and these girls shouldn't worry about themselves in contracting an STD? The pill doesn't protect against STD's.

-I've never forced or plan to force anyone to use birth control
- I've said I've been in 3 serious relationships so far in my life and all 3 of these women used birth control, and it was no issue. Only on CD is this a big deal, when millions of couples use this and are FINE
- people are making WAAAAAAY to big a deal of this
Its sad that you have such a flipant attitude concerning unplanned pregnancies and having a child out of wedlock. Nothing is 100% and your right you never know but you can do everything possible to control your future (wear a condom). To protect yourself YOU should use BC even if you are in a committed relationship and your gf is on the pill. And BTW condoms are birth control.

Condoms are a perfectly valid, albeit not the best, method of birth control. Now if you are taking birth control pills (or shots or something), and he still uses a condom, I would be suspect.

I wondered how this thread got to so many posts .... looks like someone being intentionally obtuse and those willing to play along ...... that boat is going nowhere

so back to the question at hand .... absolutely for birth control ... i've been with my wife now for close to a decade ... we have a couple kids together and still use condoms ..... a big part of it right now is that there is breastfeeding and you don't want that hormone splash going on

i really don't mind in the least and don't understand how it would be a statement on a commitment level or not

if people have that kind of mindframe/outlook they are better off with manual transmission from their home PCs

I never said I didn't want it. I didn't follow it all, that's all.

People are getting cranky, maybe it's time to wind this thread up.
