What are some other options to be protected?
Okay.. So, My boyfriend and I have had sex many times. We have always worn a condom, because I’m not on the pill. And last night we were making love, and the condom broke. He said he didn’t realize until it started feeling suspiciously more amazing all of the sudden. We then continued to have unrotected sex.. And we have been thinking about switching to the pill, but he said he doesn’t want to mess up my horomones and cause me to have crazy mood swings.. (Because apparently that’s what he heard happens when you take the pill.) And I was just wondering if they’re any other options to have sex other than condoms and/or birth control..? Thanks, CJ.
I’m not dumb. I know all about STD’s and STI’s. And I know all about getting tested, and all that jazz.. I just want to know about other options of being protected from pregnancy other than taking birthcontrol or using condoms..
The pill doesn’t protect you from STDs or STIs.
You may think you know your boyfriend really well but have the both of you been checked? There’s the obvious STDs- HIV, gonorrhea(which was just in the news that it may soon become untreatable!), chlamydia(can cause infertility), Herpes, Syphilis, and many other infections. HPV can be spread even with the use of condoms, it has no symptoms and may lead to cervical cancer.
Barrier methods are really the best way to go along with frequent screenings for both you and your partner.
You should be seeing a gyno if you haven’t already for Pap Smears and exams to make sure everything is ok. And since the condom broke there IS still a chance you may become pregnant.
The only other non-barrier, non hormonal option is the copper IUD. but again it does not protect against STDs
