-
Yes, as well as birth control...Neither of us want kids any time soon :P
-
Yeah Better safe than worry Loop before leap
-
Now, that's a good question, I didn't, but looking back I think.........how do we ever REALLY know what anyones really doing, what if by some slim 1% chance they cheat, then we might have a problem!
-
-
officegirl I know what you mean. I guess maybe 70 or more % was "unprotected" and now I think "wow".
-
-
naaah we are both free of std's and she's had a hysterectomy (sp) and we're engaged
-
My first husband liked to stray and was a serious addict. We always used a condom but in my current relationship we don't.
-
After 6 months of both being tested clear at a sexual health clinic, if the relationship is truly monogamous, then none is needed. Before that they are a requirement.
-
it depends, i prefer not to use it but it can be usefull
-
If you don't want to have a baby, then it could come in useful I suppose. Also, it's pretty much a necessity if one of you has AIDS.
-
Nope. Then again, I'm still a virgin. : )
-
yep, and we will continue to do so until my husband is snipped!
-
Nope, I dont think i have used one after our first year together. WE both prefer it without one, plus it can get expensive.
-
Sure do, it's our preferred method of contraception. And it's been working for 35 years:-)
-
Not necessary. Been clipped and no prior STD.
-
nope. I use birth control and the pull out method with my lover
-
Depends on if I forget to take my pill or not. We can't really afford babies right now since we are both in college.
-
If you or your partner fell pregnant would you accept and build a family if so then you dont need 2 worry about contreception. If you would hate the idea of a baby then why are you even asking the question? its common sense
-
nopeee and wouldnt wanna experience it yet...thank goodness still a virgin
-
No, my s/o and I are both "clean" and I'm on the depo.
-
Only when we're having sex
-
No, I'm on the pill, and we hate condoms.
-
no we dont use one but i am on the pill and we always wait till i have been on my pill for 1 week b4 we stop using it
-
We don't. Mutual trust would decide that. Trust that neither is sleeping around and if a child comes about it's a good thing.
-
no i do not use condoms...can i be honest i never have...i was stupid when i was young. i was using contraception but never used a condom... i have since had a test and i was completly shocked when every 1 was negative i was extremely lucky (DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!) but ive been in my relationship for 3 years and we dont use condoms as he got tested when i did so were ok
-
I am on the pill and my husband doesn't use a condom. Eventually though, he wants to get a vasectomy, because the pill is not a long-term plan as I get older and we do not want children.
-
No.........and I am not on any type of BC so I have been lucky not to get prego!
-
No. If it's long term then Im in. If I love him enough then I will accept anything.
-
I used to always use a condom, but after a few months with the same girl. I just stoped buying them, she used to be on the pill but now she's on the patch. Its all good.
-
mmI don't PLAN on having children yet, and I would like to be able to have sex whenever I please, not on day 1-7 and 15-28. I also don't want to use the pill because I DO want children someday and here the pill can do bad things to the baby maker. So therefore I we use a condom.
-
my cat resents the implications of your premise
-
yes
-
no i do not,im on birth control so im pretty sure im protected ive only had 2 scares in 2 years
-
nope, just take the pill if your in a str8 relationship, or if in a gay relationship get tested for std's its been working for me and my fiance since we got together
-
She was on the pill and we've been together for a while. No condoms, trust plays a lot.
-
I don't use a condom when in a long term relationship. I have a rather high sex drive and am very faithful, so is my partner. We prefer it without because it's more intimate for the both of us. I would be worried if we didn't. We do have long term plans in the future to be together so it makes sense for the both of us. I do use birth control though. I take the pill everyday, when I fuck up on the pill I make sure he pulls out though lol, I know it doesn't prevent much....but ya lol.
-
Yep, we use condoms and i take birth control. No baby is wanted right now :)
-
Wearing a condom is beef. Aids isnt all that bad.
-
Obvious answer here. If you want a baby- no If you don't- yes
-
before I got married yes, after no.
-
IT DEPENDS IF HE IS CLEAN OF STI'S IF YOU ARE BOTH SURE OF IT , TRY GOING ON THE PILL TO STOP PREGNANCY XXXX
-
Yes, anything to help prevent a baby.
-
Unless you are married, you should try to use a condom during sex. Look out for yourself cause no one else will. An unwanted pregnancy or std will break the relationship into pieces.
-
not if known them for a while . and we are bug free
-
no, no need i dont think,if you know they are completely clean, besides it ruins the mood having to search around for one :/
-
Even if there were no need of using it as a protection against STD, you could still use it for birth control.
-
not if your trying to extend the family
-
Since I've had a vasectomy six years ago..the answer is "no" once we both have been tested and come back with a clean bill of health. No condom feeling is much more to both our preference and it just makes the whole experience that much more intimate.
-
No condoms,, I've been married for 14 years and our method of birth control is VCF (vaginal contraceptive foam), we have a very active sex life and the foam has never failed us (ie..an unwanted pregnancy).
-
If you don't want children yo...
-
Until I'm able to afford better birth control, I will be using condoms. I don't intend on having babies.
-
Nope
-
Most of the time.
-
Sure if she is not protected then you should be as far as birth control curtdude
-
I have been with my husband for 7 years. We have three children and are currently using condoms. I was on the combined pill prior to kids but can not use it anymore as i have a high risk of stroke due to migrians. I also don't like any other forms of birth control like IUD's and Mini pills as they all have bad side effects for me. So Condoms it is. We do not want any more children (we planned all three) Our next option is something permanent.....
-
why would you do this??
-
I only use when my woman period is getting closer and few days after her period.Use of condom in a long term relationship is better,to afford an unwanted pregnancy,which could either destroy the relatinship or change plan of a laid down destiny.
-
as long as the girls got sum bc n ya'll have been tested ur should be fine but its always up to her anyway jus remember that fo real!
-
Well yes. You can never be careful when it comes to your well being. Especially if your not ready for kids.
-
if you do not trust each other yes, use a condom and if you don't want any kids Please use a condom
-
I have a difficult time reaching orgasm to begin with. Using a condom sometimes makes sex pointless for me. If I trust my partner, I don't use it.
-
Because my girlfriend was reacting slightly negatively to oral contraception, we have been using condoms until I get a vasectomy.
-
no :/...
-
Yes along with the Depo Shot, we don't want to have children together just yet.
-
You use a condom until you think you're prepared for the possibility of a child. There is a big chance you could become pregnant, so just brace yourself for that incase. If you and your partner feel comfortable with eachother, and have had the neccesary check-ups involved, then the onise is upon yourselves. No one can really make that decision for you.
-
it depends if yo want to have a baby, or planning to have a baby because birth control pills are not 100 % protection so i guess every situation will have its needs
-
I've been married a long time. I've never used one before. Period.
-
LISTEN HER KID. WEARING A DOME IS LIKE WEARING A RAIN COAT IN THE SHOWER. GET IT?
-
yeah, why not. Nothing ruins a good long-term relationship like a child neither one of you want yet.
-
She was on the pill, and we both got tested, and if anything were to have happened I love her I would be by her side, but It's hard to get intimate with someone when theres a piece of rubber between you.
-
Be careful. Before I had sex with my bf, I asked him to get tested for aides and he did, we never used a condom and have been together for over two years. Well, we have separated since he had to go to rehab and I decided to go get tested for STDs and have found out that I have contracted one STD so far, other tests arent due to come in for another week or so. I put my trust in him, but now I am wondering if he did cheat on me? I never cheated on him. I pray nothing more serious shows up. So, as some of the others have stated, you can never be too careful!
-
nope. I tryst my girl and she says she cant get prego cause of medical conditions and she says she dont have anything
-
NO!
-
only at the start, afterwards, no fooooking way.
-
no, we trust each other, we've been together almost two years.
-
I think that you should use a condom no matter how long your relationship is and being committed matters but it doesnt when you're talking about using a condom. Of course if you're married and you both get checked out and everything's okay then you're fre to do whatever, if you want a child or some children, however, if you're not married you shouldnt be having sex anyway, but if you insist then protect yourself, even if you both are clean. Bringing a child into the world in wedlock is not cute or funny. Its a sin to begin with and you will pay the consequences.
-
Yes and he continues to bitch about it.
-
Gurl,Yes you should one it doesn't matter if you have been in a good relationship you never no what you still can catch from him. What if he was cheating on you and just because you think he would never do that because you think he is honest doesn't mean he want never cheat.
-
Yup, don't want to get pregnant.
-
I definitely think that's your preference. If your not on birth control and you don't want to get pregnant than YES! please use one...if your open to having kids..then i guess not
-
We sometimes use condoms. We have been in a relationship for several years now, but use condoms when we use vibrating ring toys, but thats just to stop the ring coming off inside me. I have used Polyurethane condoms sometimes and both my partner and I enjoy the feeling of these - they are very thin and you dont really notice wearing them. Can buy them on internet in uk on www.superiorcondoms.com. They are usually the cheapest.
-
Yep because birth control doesn't always work!! I have living proof my 11 month old daughter
-
yes most of the time. We dont like them but its peace of mind. the pill has a negative effect on her attitude so we dont use it anymore. we tried the female condom and it was more cumbersome and sounded like we were doing it with a plastic bag. We may try a diaphram or something but for now its condoms.
-
I don't like the feel of the things. It's like having sex with a rubber band.
-
never, what is the point of sex then? might as well use a rubber flashlight.
-
Till date, I am single so I have no any idea about how to use condom.
-
yes. i cant get pills soo i dont want to get pregnant. we both are faithful though and OCCASIONALLY at cirtain "safe" times of the month we use unprotected pullout method since we are loyal and have no chance of disease
-
Define/clarify ''long term'' yo...
-
I hope not.
-
i dont
-
Indeed I do...
-
I've been with men who have. Or - when I was younger - withdrawal. Or I used my diaphragm.
-
Weeeeeellllll....Yes and No. We have three children, and the first two were surprises - though pleasant ones. Let's just say that we are not consistent, and frankly, I am surprised we have not had more...surprises. (Our suprises were boys and our planed pregnancy was a girl. So I suggested to my gf that when we are surprised we get boys, and when we plan we get girls - and did she want to try the experiment? She looked at me - horrified.)
-
No, I'm on the pill. I don't really like the feel of a condom inside me anyway. I much prefer the feel of my husband's bare penis, and of course it gives him greater pleasure as well.
