Actually, you are just plain ignorant if you think you know anything about the people I sleep with. I'm far from naive, my dear. Very far.

I'll be sure to use the utmost discretion when shopping for a 2-piece, lol. And even if I slaughter the chicken myself, I'll be sure to use a tongue-condom.

A lot of people, men and women, think that way though. There's an unspoken assumption that when it comes to birth control, the woman should take responsibility.

Okay.

I know you're being facetious, but when you think of all that can go wrong in food preparation that's not even that a ridiculous of an idea.

They may suck but you better use them or women shouldn't put out. Serious about this.

I don't use them They're a bitch.

Point made that not all women can take birth control. And no, women should not be expected to change their body chemistry for birth control purposes. All I'm saying that sex is a joint action between two people. If a healthy woman decides to take birth control, that is her choice. It may alter her body chemistry, but ultimately it's her decision if she doesn't want to compromise each other's ability for sensation. But if she doesn't want to take birth control, and the man decides to wear a condom, he would compromising both their pleasures but they'd be avoiding the unexpected pregnancy. And I say this in the context of a long term relationship and/or marriage without the threat of STDs (the blood testing I mentioned earlier). Either option is not entirely fool proof, but all I wanted to say is there are options and they should be explored by both the man and woman.

And then, there are the more drastic measures such as the vasectomy or tube-tying. But personally, I wouldn't go that route because like all surgeries, there are risk factors, expecially if you're messing around with your fertility. So if you want children....that might not be the best option.

oral contraceptives gave me migraines, so I went off them, we used condoms for about 5 years which totally reduced our sex life to like 3 times a month so in the end it was his idea to pay Dr Snip a visit. He was driven to it and never looked back

No condoms here. It's difficult for my wife to get pregnant. Bummer! But it does mean I've never used a condom except in the very beginning and I have the freedom of a challenge to try my darnedest to knock her up.

I keep thinking about that, but it scares me!

Fauxie said:

oh, sure, blame her!

NDRU said:

it doesn't even hurt, it's all in the mind

actually if condoms sucked, men wouldn't mind them so much, HEYYYYOOOOH!!! I'll be here all week, try the shrimp.

ZombieKitten said:

Sure it didn't hurt you!

NDRU said:

What?

Yeah, condoms suck. But unless you know your partner/fuck buddy really well, how much is it worth to feel a woman's tight wet pussy walls massaging the shaft of your dick? Is it worth getting some freaky STD that could make your dick fall off or worse yet, keep you from having any (more) children or kill you? Is it worth having someone else in your life for the next 18 to 26 years that you didn't plan on having around? Yes, there's some loss of pleasurable sensation, but consider the potential negative sensation of a sickly body or depleted bank account.

i cannot even imagine sex without condoms. i am absolutely horrified by the thought of having children, you see..

Condoms, I hate them and prefer not to use them.
I would never ever use a condom for oral.
When it comes to anal; if I don't know my bed partner well enough I'd rather stick to oral. Anal with a rubber = unpleasant

The first thing you need to do when it comes to sex, get informed about your health status and demand to know the same from your sex partner. Be open and honest about it.

I've never used them for oral, but always for anal. It'a a bugger, but...

meow85 said:

I didn't say I don't use them! Of course safety is most important...

I haven't been using any lately, because I've been celibate 4 about 6 months.

Small town... don't want meaningless sex/one night stands.

The good thing is that I've broken my pattern of "serial monogamy". It gets lonely though.

meow85 said:

You assume too much.

When you suck a dick do you put a condom on it every time?
Condoms DO NOT stop the spread of herpes, scabies, crabs, & genital warts.
Those diseases don't kill you but its getting to a point where even if you use condoms you can still get some shit, so its better to not sleep around with random people.

Best bet? Protect yourself and screen your partners and yeah.... use a condom.

Me when I suck a dick don't put a condom on it... if I have to I'd rather not be bothered with the sex at all. Better to use a vibrator until a clean bill health comes in.
