Birth control opinions.

Birth Control is 98 percent effective when used properly. That means never missing a pill, taking them at the same time every day, etc. If you are in a long term relationship or married, then there is really no reason for you to wear condoms or use spermicide unless you are just paranoid. Although that being said, when you are a young teen and going from boyfriend to boyfriend you have no clue how many partners they have had and what STDs they could be carrying. Birth Control does not prevent against STD’s. There is also HPV which there is no known test for men. Men carry around this disease and spread it to women and have no clue they even have it.

I have been on birth control for over a year and a half now and we very rarely use condoms. I know his past and he knows mine- we don’t need them as we don’t have any S.T.I’s. Although I totally see why you would want to protect yourself as much as possible, it’s very mature and sensible and nothing wrong with it. As mandyloo said it is up to 98% effective and it does provide a barrier and some could argue it is better than condoms as it stops the eggs from releasing. In my mind anyway it is better and safer.

ok I have never used spermicide. But with birth control and a committed relationship, I think you can omitt condoms.But this is only my opinion. And there are still things that can be sexually transmitted when wearing a condom like herpes, warts,and possibly some others. Just be careful and if you are sexually active with many men you need to think about your health first and continue wearing condoms with the birthcontrol because the condom protects from pregnancy but also disease.
