Question!!

[HollisterGirl98]

Is it necessary that my bf still wear a condom when we have sex if I'm on birth control?

[naglfari]

you still want to protect against stds

[AlexBarrett]

If you want to protect agaist STD's and possible birth control failure, then yes.

[denisss]

short answer - no, it's not necessary in my opinion.

if none of u sleep with other people u are safe. also if u are punctual when it comes to taking the pill, again, u are safe.

[SammieRose]

The short answer is YES!

Not only because you never know when any of you will develop a genital infection and unwillingly gave it to each other, but also because there is still a chance the pill will fail, be it an irregularity on the intake or just a defective one. So by using condoms you will lower the chance of getting pregnant to almost none.

The only way not to have any chance of getting pregnant is abstinence, the other methods have a degree of risk.

[Haz222]

Probably best if he does, but if you both really don't want the condom then leave it, as long as you're both not sleeping with other people. Also, you'll want to take STDs and STIs into mind.

[Brighteyes]

Just one three letter word....YES

The reasons why are obvious.

[Jjday]

No, if you're both clean

[Wanderer_]

Well the whole point of being on BC is so you can get cummed in safely
If sti's/std's aren't an issue...

[Synyster Shadows]

As long as neither of you have an STD/STI, he doesn't have to wear a condom. But if either of you does, yes he should.

[supadupahitz]

There is no form of birth control that is 100%, short of the permanent kind (surgeory). Seriously, there's not.

When you have sex with someone, you effectively have sex with every partner they've ever had, speaking from a STI/STD point of view. And yes, this includes oral partners. So, you sleep with a guy, and he had oral sex with another person 2 years ago that had an STI, and you are at risk for that STI too. It is VERY possible to have an STI/STD and not know it, or show any signs. You do know the difference between an STI and a STD, right? If not, google it. It's important.

Long story short, it's a risk, and only you and your partner can decide if it's a risk you want to take.

[LouBerry]

You can get pregnant even if you are on birth control, especially if it's the pill. Make him wear that shit.

[HollisterGirl98]

I just wanted to add a little more. I know we both don't have STDs or STIs because we lost our virginities to each other and we don't have other partners

[ForrestGump]

Yea its better to just be sure :D

[Aussieboy1]

Better to be safe than sorry

[BebeFleur.]

Yes, the BC may fail and/or there is the risk of STDs/STIs. Better to be safe than sorry! :)

[TheBigUnit]

I say if you don't like condums you can go ahead and not use it,

just make sure you have morning after pills too,


there are diffrent methods of birth control find one you are most comfortable with

[Nolf]

Birth control is worse at preventing pregnancy than a condom put on right, and in some cases has a 20% chance of failure. Its up to you but I think for extra safety and prevention from STDs that a condom should go on. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

[Wanderer_]

i dunno, sounds like some of you are talking a lot of crap
over a year of sex on the pill with no rubber and no baby in me

[dvd333]

Yes. Its reliable and safer

[ChrisFromKY]

Yes because the pill isn't 100% guarantee.. Not to mention std's.

[Deleted 12]

YES even with birth control and condoms you can still get pregnant !!!! believe me im a child of it

[Josh Schlacter]

It depends on both your partners and your sexual health. If either of you's have an STI or STD than yes because the condom provides a barrier from diseases and infections, but if you both are clean your boyfriend shouldn't need to wear it at all. So if he was a virgin before meeting you than he is clean.......

[bikramckc]

Yes, it has many advantage but if u want to have without condom then its ok if no one suffering from STI/STD.

[Josh Schlacter]

YES even with birth control and condoms you can still get pregnant !!!! believe me im a child of it

Glad it happened, otherwise this beautiful person wouldn't be on VT forums

[Reanne]

I see no problem with him not wearing a condom.... I would only suggest he doesn't cum inside you to be safer. Yes the pill is pretty good, but to be safe let him pull out and cum. I know it's not 100% safe, but it's extremely unlikely you would get pregnant.

Enjoy it....it's so much better without a condom :)

[tundravortex]

better safe than sorry...that's all I can say

[Deleted 12]

Glad it happened, otherwise this beautiful person wouldn't be on VT forums

Yeah im glad im here too :P
thanks for the compliment

[HollisterGirl98]

Thank you sooo much everyone for your advice!!! :)

[HockeyLovesMe]

condom for sure prolly

[GigglyAbby]

Yes. Its reliable and safer

Actually, with perfect use -- the pill is more effective. But using both shouldn't hurt anything. It's a personal choice -- when sick and using certain antibiotics doctors advise you abstain from or use other forms of contraception. Also some doctors advise you abstain or you another method for maybe a week or month while it kicks in. Lastly if you miss 2 or more in a row definitely use something else. As far as the STD concern -- if you've both been tested recently and haven't had multiple partners or had risky sex the condom may not be needed.

I agree. For me it just peace of mind. I dont like taking big risks. Id much rather be a sure as possible

[Jakefortin]

I always wear protection even when the girl says she's on birth control.
1) Don't know her past sex life(possible that she's been infected and have no idea that she does)
2) Pills not always work.
3) What if she was lying.

[eddward]

Absolutely. The pill doesn''t protect you from anything except pregnancy

[HuntedDom]

I read in the news yesterday that a study of women on a certain pill (I can't remember the name) showed that 60% of them got pregnant while on the birth control pill. Pretty staggering results.

[WALLE]

yes. its always better to be extra safe then to be pregnant

[CallMeMatt]

I'd still use a condom
BC doesn't always work.

[lowride]

Yes to protect for STD

[randomnessqueen]

if you dont want to get pregnant, then yes.
and considering your age, im sure you dont want to be pregnant.
you probably shouldnt even be having sex now, birth control is fickle

[Jamesison]

If you want to protect agaist std's.. Unless you no he is cleean and can trust him I still would use one...

[tovaris]

Its suggested since no method of contraception is 100% effective

[ajp1993]

As others have said, if you know you're both clean and can 100% trust each other then there's no reason you need to keep using condoms if you don't wish to. At the end of the day it's what's right for you both.
Personally 2yrs with gf on pill (except where illness has prevented it and we've had to use condoms) and no baby. It may be worth talking about the 'what if' scenario though, because no contraception is 100%, even combining pill AND condoms :P

[Maria_Lopez]

If sti's/std's aren't an issue...

I have to agree here. I know Hollister and she and her boyfriend are not stepping out. They are in a committed relationship so I am answering this truly believing that the STD issue is a non-issue in this case. If it weren't I would not be saying this.

When I was going through puberty and talking with mom, I asked her about how she kept from pregnancy. she actually used natural family planning believe it or not. she was on pill for entire time before my older sister was born but she decide that after me and younger sister was born she did not want to go back on hormones and was willing to accept risk if she did become pregnant again. she never did.

anyay, as you know "B" I am usually with girls but when I had a steady BF my rule was this. I did research and didn't feel comfortable enough to trust natural planning alone. So I take the pill but I also used (tracked) natural planning method. Then I only didn't used condom and allow my boyfriend to cum inside me when my planner said I shouldn't be futile anyway. For me I felt this was enough double protection to be safe if all I was after was no pregnancy.

You can research yourself and come to your own conclusions. I am just passing on information.

[Rapp]

anything is possible, you never know what can happen, better safe than sorry! so use a rubber :)

[Aidoon123]

Just to stay safe, he should continue wearing a condom. Incase 'the pill' doesn't work, you will be safe, especially art your age :)

[basball999]

Yes I would it's extra pertection
