Well if she isn't on any other form of birth control, i t's pretty much accepted that you're going to use it. But the key is just that - other forms of birth control are less invasive into your sex life.

Assuming it's a monogamous relationship. For casual relations "other" means don't do sh!t against STD's.

18 years? It wouldn't last 18 days as a group of cells.

You're not missing out on much.

GEORGE: No, no...I hate the condom.

SUSAN: Why?

GEORGE: I can never get the package open in time.

SUSAN: Well, you just tear it open.

GEORGE: It's not that easy. It's like "Beat The Clock," there's a lot of pressure there.

I used to do it this way before she want on the patch...

Tell that to Mary :p

Maybe I've been lucky, but pulling out has always worked for me. Once you get used to bareback there's no turning back.

I'm so freakin' paranoid. No condom, no coital. That shouldn't stop you from doing "other" stuff, though. ;)

i agree that it is a hard step to move "backward"
however, i find it well worth it everytime im sitting around in silence, not being responsible for another human being other than myself.
especially when i see some of my friends who have recently become parents.

but...other than enjoyment, there is nothing that makes condoms hard to use.
i tend to buy when im not running low so they are always around. the only thing that would make them difficult (in my mind) would be lack of availability at the moment.

Hmm, I think I will try the later. It's reversable, right?

Ha! You know those things go bad right?

Yeah, but never had one long enough for that to happen.
