Good girl. And if you do end up going on the pill, I highly recommend researching the particular one they want to put you on before you start taking it. Honestly, if I had done that before I started taking the pill.....I'd have never taken it. Granted, my various bf's would've had to have taken some responsibility instead of me being the one to bear all the burden..........but it would've been worth the years of symptoms. Not everyone has a bad experience with them, but lots that say they don't have side effects have truly no idea how much they're being affected until they go off of them. It's super easy for a dude to sit around and say "Ugh, condoms suck I can't feel anything", but if it were up to them to take artificial hormones and suffer side effects, they'd all be much bigger fans of condoms.

Stick to those guns girlie. Next time he brings it up, suggest a vasectomy. Nearly painless AND reversible.

Haha that's funny... I think I'm going to look into other barrier methods actually, simply because of the fact that we are not exclusive. We agreed to keep the lines of communication open about everything that goes on, but WC is right, I shouldn't chance it. Thank you everyone.

As far as I am concerned the "safe window" is a myth.
Although I can't argue with what he is saying... It does feel much much better without a condom. As for BC I have never personally tried it. Nor will

if you are not exclusive i think the risk of sti's should make you consider always using a condom
if i wasnt exclusive or vise versa with someone i would always use a condom

"Nearly painless" to the SURGEON!
Ask someone who's had one how "nearly painless" it was! The stories I've heard don't at all support the "nearly painless" theory except for a couple guys I knew who were seriously into shall we say, "recreational pharmaceuticals."
And "reversible?" Yeah, at the cost of several tens of thousands of dollars... and a lots more of that "nearly painless" thingy!

And it is great! You get to be plenty horny and no worries, no muss no fuss.

That's right...
