I'm definitely open to various options, but I prefer natural methods of birth control.
An IUD (without the hormone) is an excellent choice, and can be left in up to ten years. There's no chemicals, or drugs involved...
Tell your hubby to GROW UP..there's nothing wrong with using a condom for preventing pregnancy..it's not like you'd need it for the WHOLE time you're having sex.
For a lot of people, that's what they do.
There is a reason why they come individually wrapped and not thrown in the box like pads are. It's a clean manufacturing process. Any foreign object that enters the body has the potential to cause infection. As far as penises go some of them do need washing because women get UTIs from dirty ones (also dirty fingers or sex toys) That is the point of washing the diaphram out before you use it. If it's not clean when you put it in you risk a UTI.
Reminding everyone of the context: This was about a diaphragm that has been washed, placed in a clean case, and is then used the next day. Do we need to wash it a second time before using it?
I think that in the rare instance that a woman has frequent trouble with UTIs and has found that the second wash helps prevent them, she should go for it. But she really is a rare case.
Most people don't rewash clean hands, toys, menstrual cups, cervical caps, or diaphragms before vaginal use. They also don't rewash clean forks before putting them in their mouths. (Or peens!) These tissues are, in some sense, external. They are made to handle the ordinary germiness of life.
I don't want to move this off topic, but since the convention of birth control being the burden of the woman and not the man is relevant, I find it interesting how many people ask women to sympathize with a man for not wanting to wear a condom because it's just so unsatisfying and unnatural to him and you have to understand how he feels...
... yet they're okay with women pumping themselves full of chemicals with questionable side effects that suppress/alter their body's natural functions and having artificial devices shoved up their cracks or surgically implanted into their reproductive systems that can have serious mechanical complications let alone medical just so their man doesn't "have" to wear one.
Objectively speaking, I'd say what women have to go through to protect themselves from pregnancy trumps wrapping a sausage, so it wouldn't hurt if men were also encouraged to sympathize more with women and what the reproductive choices they're making as a couple will mean for their bodies and health and comfort and enjoyment of sex.
Just my two cents.
Outstanding post!
It is a societal problem in general, that women are asked to empathise with men more often than men are asked to empathise with women. The latter is supposed to be impossible.
Sooooooo, either he really doesn't like the withdrawal method with you or his timing is waaaaaaaaay off when using that method and/or he doesn't trust his timing ...
How many times can your hubby orgasm within an 8-hour session?
How long does sex last before he drops his load?
Give him a good BJ so he can drop his "primal" first load. (This one contains chunks)
The 2nd orgasm within the 8-hour time frame is technically the potassium load. (clear liquid/no chunks) This load is the safest bet.

I am so amazed by the number of selfish and immature men I see around. What is the big deal! So you lose some sensation but compare to the risks women take with other bc methods, isn't it worth your spouse's health? I guess it is too much to expect from some men. I have been married for 10 years. We have always used condoms for BC. We discussed it with my husband in the beginning and he did not feel right about me taking all those chemicals/hormones with side effects when putting a condom is so easy and harmless. I swear when I read certain posts in CD I fall in love with my hubby all over again.
