I can't get off with a condom, so it just really sucks. Everyone I've had sex with though was on the pill and had been tested. 🙂
 
When I was with my ex, we didn't use condoms. I was a virgin going in, she had been tested going in, and she was on the depo shot. Only chance was cheating, which it seems didn't happen. Not the smartest move...but I lucked out.

I admit, there have been a few times when I've resorted to the proverbial 'pull-out' method, albiet it is still relatively safe if you do it properly. Here's a grand tip for any of you who have never had sex without a condom: DON'T!!! You will never want to go back. 🙁 - Brett

This man speaks the gospel. Naked-head is like crack.
 
How effective is the pill?

My girlfriend and I would like to try it without condoms but I'm a bit worried.

I was quoted 99.3% effective....That still kind of concerns me.

Thoughts?
 
I use condoms and my gf is on the pill.
Once in a while we don't use condoms and I pull out (although like 2-3 times out of 200 I didn't).
 
I don't.












But I might reconsider if I actually HAD sex. 🙁


My own fault.
As I remember from my younger days, you actually have to go out and MEET women in order to have a chance to get laid.

It DOES still work this way doesn't it? 😉
 
wtf... didn't any of you ever take health class in high school?

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SAFE SEX (sex defined as intercourse)
Condoms do NOT make it completely safe. Safer maybe, but not completely safe.

Herpes is caused simply by the contact. Condoms do not protect against HPV. If your testicles come into contact with her sores... look out. But, then again, the sores don't have to be visible. HPV (herpes) has a hell of a lot of different strains. Unfortunately, the most nasty ones, like the ones that cause/contribute to cervical cancer, don't cause sores to form. Thus, you won't even know you're getting infected, because you can't see the sores. "Safe-sex" is a myth, probably promoted by men. We men really don't face the health concerns caused by various strains of HPV. Sores are not a huge concern (although the recent commercials may make you think otherwise.) For the women, huge concerns are: cancer, infertility. Condoms prevents neither.

HPV is a very tricky virus. Most of the sexually active population has a strain of HPV (75%)... but only a smaller percentage find out they have it (about 25%). The reason being... you must have symptoms to be diagnosed with the virus... and most people's bodies are able to keep the virus suppressed so it never allows symptoms to develop.

There are two different types of HPV... low risk and high risk strains of HPV. Low risk strains cause genital warts and mild cervical abnormalities. High risk strains cause the majority of cervical abnormalities and can lead to cancer if left untreated. 99.8% of cervical cancer cases have HPV DNA in them.

HPV will stay dormant in your body until your immune system weakens and is not longer to keep the virus undercontrol. Sickness, stress, pregnancy, poor nuitrition, or a hormonal imbalance may be all your body needs to allow the virus to get to work and first cause abnormalities to develop on your cervix.

There is no way to know who gave this to you or when you caught it. HPV can be contracted even with the use of a condom. The FDA and CDC are in big trouble this month because they haven't meant the deadline to release this information to the public. They must go to hearings with lawmakers in Washington DC on the 28th of this month.

Men also do not have symptoms of the types of HPV that cause cervical abnormalities... and a man must have symptoms to be diagnosed with the virus. So most men never know they are carriers and are passing it around.

I've been in a monogamous relationship for 4 years. She's on the pill and that's good enough for us.

Edit: We were both tested early in the relationship and used condoms for awhile.

Same here... at least with the monogomous relationship. We did not have each-other tested before we were married because neither of us had really been in a relationship before, let alone sleep with anyone. It may seem lame to some of you that we wated till marriage and have had only each other but let me tell you, It made for quite a wedding night 😉

-spike

P.S. As for protection, she started the pill 3 monthes before the wedding and that is all we have had. Never tried a rubber and don't really want to.
 
Absolutly not! Having been with the same woman for the past 25 years, the only time I am safe, is when she has "girl week".

Ladds ans lass's I'm more afraid of a run away bus. 😉
 
Initially yes. After got we STD tested to verify we're clean of anything nasty exes could have transmitted, not very often. IMHO condoms don't feel as good.
 
Entirely safe here - no sex. 😛
As for "safe" sex, I'm for it. Too many people here on the planet (WAAAY too many); preventing more unwanted births is definitely helpful.

99.9%+ if taken properly. The crap starts when you have an irresponsible partner that doesnt take her pill every day.

oh buddy!
thats not how it works anymore...i assumed you knew becuase you are on here so much. all you need is a flashy car and/or a modded case and the Ladies will come to you.

on the subject: much to my dismay, i sometimes find myself beginning to have sex without a condom. i also dont feel safe just using a single form of birth control. i like it when she is on the pill, i have a condom, etc.

to the dude who cant get off with a condom...have you tried different types/brands? i mean, there are A LOT out there.

and to the dude who compared sex with no condom to crack...very astute.

that is all.

Herpes and HPV are different diseases.
