Thread: I need Birth control

It's okay for a man to not like condoms. Our generation has been baptized in the name of the "Holy Church of No Glove No Love" and are deluded into thinking either:
1. No protection is acceptable; if you have sex before marriage OMG YOU DIE. Or ...
2. A condom is the epitome of all birth controls and if you ever use a substitute OMG CHUR GONNA DIE FASTUR.
Ahem. A condom is great outside of a monogamous relationship because it protects against many STDs (not all, but many.) But they take sensation away from sex ... not just for the man but also for women (at least, it does big-time for me!) And what is sex supposed to be if it's not the maximum pleasure for both parties?
I think you've said you had tried a shot or other longer-term BC and you had problems. I urge you to try different pills. I use Ortho Tri Cyclen and it works like a charm, but I know other ladies on this board have had huge problems with the Ortho line of products. The opposite with Yaz ... it made me depressed and anxious, but for some women it's a godsend.
Look at the Wikipedia article about birth control effectiveness (it's got an easy-to-read chart with all the info you ought to need.) Especially check out the column with the average user statistics: those are the REAL statistics, not the clinical bleach-white lab percentages. Things like diaphragms seem to have a really low failure rate until you look at the average user, and it makes me come to the conclusion that they're hard to get used to. Never used them myself.

Of course, on a personal level, if you're continuing to ping-pong between boys, protect yourself and insist on a barrier method. Once you settle down, you can get tested and go from there.

well...Ace has kinda been caught...lol
