Education Do you trust the pill?

Because I would never use a condom with a new partner..

Where in my post does it say I never use a condom? Seriously, just because I haven't put in in bold red letters doesn't mean I never use one..

Christ..

 

Lets just hope the baby grows up to look like the mother

 

Excuse me?

 

But that's not really the question that was posed is it? I mean if you don't/can't trust the other person to use contraception properly then any form of contraception can't be trusted. But when you can trust the other person the pill is pretty much the most effective contraceptive available short of taking a trip to the doctors to have something implanted or something snipped.

 

Just kidding, you know, that there might be another man involved. No offense meant, sorry.

 

The pill is pretty effective so long as they put in the right orifice lol

Condoms aren't completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one and got hit by a bus

 

And it doesn't mean that "he" is either

Meanwhile, back on topic. The point is whether the pill's extremely effective or not (which it is in most cases) if you want to ensure you don't get a woman pregnant you have to take responsibility for your own actions, or lack of

 

I do trust contraceptives, but only insofar as I trust my partner. Having said this though, if I truly was concerned enough with pregnancy I would just turn my sexual desires toward partners of the same sex as I exclusively, as this has been shown to be the only 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy. It would also be a rather good litmus test for if your partner is fooling about, as if they get pregnant you'll know right way that they're cheating, and/or just broke some law of physics. Which would get them a fine or something - that is how scientific laws work, right? I'm sure if you could figure out a way to get a homosexual male pregnant you'd more than likely get a few quid in fines from some scientific boffin for breaking a few laws of the known physical universe, maybe even a few points on your license. Jail time might be going a bit far though, but we wouldn't need worry about anyone trying to impose such a punishment as thankfully fundamental Christian doctrine isn't generally incorporated into national judicial systems.

But I digress, because the above paragraph is silly, and because it sidesteps the point of my post. Most all of the relationships I've had since I became sexually active have started off with multiple forms of contraceptives (of both the oral and physically applied types), which generally progressed into primary reliance upon just orally-taken methods. If my partner had reason for concern at any point in time, we would employ some other methodology as well for a time as we saw fit. This to me seems as the best attitude to take for such matters, given that no single method is guaranteed to be effective.

 

wheres your science now!?

/offtopic

my fiancee and i have been relying on first the pill and now the "ring" for 7 years now. so far so good. i would say i trust it very much. we both take an active part in remembering to keep her on schedule.

 

Busy proving that's not a man!!! Well not in terms of genetics anyway.

 

All my girlfriends have been on it, obviously in a new relationship still wear a condom, but not for long until a clinic visit has verified what she says! Never had any problems in the past 10+ years, just make sure she doesn;t forget it, and if she does she'll bounce down the stairs

 

I didnt say it was 100% effective, I said I trust it 100% that was the question

I know its not 100% effective

Btw does 99.9% effective or whatever mean you can have sex 1000 times and itll fail once or it will not work for one person out of 1000. Statistically speaking

 

Is that not a contradiction? How can you trust something 100% if you already concede it wont be 100% effective?

 

I put 100% trust in it thats what I mean

 

maybe you rely on it 100%...

 

Srs? Forget the math and just think about it.


I trust it as well, have been with my gf for five years and she has used the pill all the time, no problems.

 

You're right thats the best way to put it. I do trust it also fully tho

 

I've been with my mrs for eleven years, she's always taken the pill and we've never had any issues.

 

it's supposed to have the side effect of prohibiting things like cysts.. notice the face gets fatter than usual too when they are on it

I feel for girls sometimes.. they have to put up with so much ****, us guys just run around with our dingalings

 

The pill had some ill effects on my girlfriend, we just stick with condoms..

She broke out, gained weight, and got crazy mood swings (made worse by the previous two). It wasn't a good couple of months
