STD's

[Horatio Nelson]

Everyone says you should use a condom when you have sex right? Well I agree. But what about a married couple that wants to have children, or a married couple in general. Do they have to always use condoms too?

[Living For Love]

If they want to have children, then they can't use a condom, but since they are a couple who wants to have a kid, they probably know each other well to know there's no danger in doing it.

If a women is on birth control, and is with a partner she is comfortable having sex with, without the protection against STDs, then they won't really have to worry much about getting pregnant. If she is not on birth control, and they don't want to have a baby, then they would likely use condoms or another method of birth control.

In a married couple they have to trust each other not to cheat/have an affair, if they're going to have unprotected sex.

@OP No, as long as married couples trust each other and feel like they should/can/want to, they can have sex sans condom. (Because as the above poster said, it's pretty hard to reproduce when one is in the picture :P)

And some unmarried ones as well- though that's tricky. I do tend to favor a person's decisions being up to them without all the public-shaming, but I highly advocate marriage if you're going to have a kid, as it's kind of selfish not to. Either to the father (depending on the rights of the paternal biological parent), or to the kid themselves. Custody, legal matters, if you can make it to where it's not going to be a burden to the kid, and you have an agreement, power to you. However, I still think there should be some sort of legal agreement, so that at the very least the kid doesn't end up screwed.

I don't adhere to the liberal idealism that is "my life, my choice"- yes, to some extent, but when you fucking bring other people into it, it doesn't work that way, sunshine. :rolleyes:

Anyways, it's kind of irrelevant.

Point being that condoms have two purposes, generally speaking.

1. To prevent STDs
2. To prevent unwanted pregnancies

If you're all clean, your partner is, you want kids now, etc., no, you do not have to use a condom.

But honestly, like mentioned above (is my rant actually relevant?? Holy cow!) , it's not necessarily as simple as that, per se. You also have to think about the repercussions it will have socially, legally, etc.

But health-wise, yeah. At least for conception, anyways.

Hah, you make me laugh. :P

The reason I asked was for opinions, not because I don't know.

I think a married couple has every right to do whatever they want.

Not sure if that's a good or bad thing :P

Well, alright then XD I agree with that sentiment. As long as it's consensual, and they want it, it doesn't matter.

Only use a condom until you KNOW both of you are clean. Then you may start doing unprotected sexualisms
