In need of advice~

Alright, so I've been chatting with the boyfriend about sex. It's probably going to happen soon. (In a month or so.) I have been on the pill for years now. However last month (February), I missed a couple pills. I'm going to go through at least one set of pills (4 weeks) before we have sex. And make sure I don't miss any. As a personal choice, I would like to have sex without a condom. I know the risks of STD's. And I know if I was off the pill it would be a very stupid idea without any other form of birth control going on.

Two things I would like to ask:

I'm curious know how many people would be comfortable with making this decision. (To rely solely on the pill as a birth control method.)

Also, would adding the morning pill into the equation be a smart idea?

(I realize a condom might be less hassle, but I'm really not looking for anyone to tell me to use one. It really it just my personal choice. Not for my boyfriend, not because I have anything against condoms.)

 

the morning after pill is NOT a form of contraception. use spermicidal lube or a diaphragm uke:

 

Use a condom to be safe. Then you will have no worries about an STD or a unplanned child.

 

if you don't want to use a condom, you should both get tested first.

 

Sorry, I forgot to add we ARE both going to be tested. Most definitely.

PurpByThePound, I didn't think of Spermicidal Lube. Thanks for the idea.

 

birth control seems effective enough, even when my ex missed taking it a few days. im still not father... nothing feels better then a creampie >.<

 

i don't know, how many men are there in the world?

 

Good point. That question should have been specified for women only.

 

Before using the spermicide during sex, you might want to test it out on yourself beforehand. Some people get irritated by it, and it would not be fun to have that happen on the first time with your boyfriend.

You know your boyfriend, and only you can decide if you trust him enough to not use a condom. There is no foolproof method of birth control, and unfortunately it's a risk you take when you have sex. (ie: Antibiotics make the pill ineffective, a missed pill, a broken condom...anything can happen.) Just be as smart as you can about protecting yourself, and be ready to accept any consequences if your/his methods fail.

 

There's a host of contraceptive methods, you only have to find the one that suits you the most:

Not all men are the same.
