Gentlemen, how important is it that your girlfriend takes birth control in a relationship?

A lot of my girlfriends take birth control because their boyfriends don't like wearing condoms. Why does it bother guys so much when a girl doesn't want to take it? Condoms kill the feeling, I get it. But why do guys think that's it's so important to take the pill anyway? Obviously, I understand that she won't get pregnant as easily, but why the fuss over wearing a damn condom? The last time I checked, a condom was WAY less than child support.

  • so totally agree that a condom is like less expensive than having a kid. Also a condom helps prevent stds, a pill doesn't. My guy says that he got tested and he has no std but I started having some side effects, got it tested and I could have it. I was as virgin when I met him and he slept around with some sluts. so yeah, if I have chlymedia or whatever it is from him. Anyways, I like condoms a lot more because when he wears them and he gets off, it is a lot less messy than when he gets off on me or pulls out. It always comes back out from me and wets my panties or the bed, and also if he pulls out and it accidently gets on the bed sheets I hate washing the sheets every day. Overall I think condoms is so much better than birth control pills. But it is good to be on both so that if one fails the other hopefully picks up.

  • If I was in a committed relationship with someone,I would make sure he(and I guess I,but I am a virgin) get tested for HIV/AIDS and STD's and continue to get tested regularly.It isn't a big deal to get the shot,take a pill or patch or IUD.I rather prevent pregnancy by using multiple forms of protection,and I would *think* it would be more intimate not using a condom.Spermicide and birth control would be good enough for me

    • I take an antibiotic that interferes with birth control. And I NEVER can remember to take a pill, especially if I have to take it at the same time everyday. ugh but yeah I agree, I'd rather use a spermicide. they have cervix caps that you can put in before you have intercouse, and you can put a spermicide on it too. and plan b is only 25 bucks anyway

  • 1) Condoms don't feel as good - people say it feels the same, but it's not.

    2) Condoms kill the mood - you have to stop to put it on, and it feels like fricking plastic wrap

    3) Condoms break - I used to double birth control pills and condoms and 2/5 times that we used a condom it broke. So screw condoms.

  • I've never had a partner on birth control it's really not a british thing I guess... Pretty much every guy I know uses condoms, those that don't well they're idiots dating idiots. Sure it feels better without a condom, but I'm not so vain as to think about what I want and expect my partner to do something that could A. End up giving her diseases (not from me, but habitually) or B. cause medical problems, she can miss periods and even go sterile.

    Even if she did take the pill I'd not trust it because there is no way I can just look at her and think 'well it's clearly working' because how could i? you'd only know by a hormone test, it's not as basic as seeing a latex glove finger on the end of your penis.

  • i would rather have my girlfriend not take that stuff

    • Care to elaborate?

    • Im in my last year of biochemistry I know all about the chemical pathways that stuff like that would do to a body and I also wouldn't like the fact that my girlfriend was letting men f*** her without a condom on that bugs me also. the pill has many side affects. it drys out the lining of the uterus which causes abortions and it also can cause strokes and other things along those lines and I don't see it as much of a benifit it just allows you to not were a condom

    • I forgot about strokes that's very true! good for you having an education!! :D

What Girls & Guys Said

  • Because some guys don't realize the side effects that also come with birth control and f***ing with your hormones.

    • I agree and prefer to wear a condom rather than asking my girl to take pills

    • I totally agree. A friend of mine gained 30 pounds in a year and COMPLETELY lost her sex drive. It's completely stupid.

  • If a guy is going to prefer you use birth control so HE doesn't have to wear a condom, you shouldn't bother with the douche to begin with. It takes two to tango, so BOTH should be equally responsible. Him insisting that you bear the burden entirely is bs.

    • very interesting.

  • Dont buy into that.. no condom feels better, but a condom is healthier than altering the menstral cycle, and having a hairy upper lip by age 25;

    Also these guys just looking for a f***. Using you for your body and you wanna take Birth control to make it better for them? don't you want to enjoy it? you won't if you have so much on your mind.

    • Well said

    • @sunnyday45: Yeah I know I'm a man, so naturally I'm always right. - I can just imagine all the girls reading this; their jaws dropping and eyes burning Red

  • I am not into the girl taking all the blunt of the work condoms are fine an you know when they fail

  • Most girls that I have dated go on birth control and I don't even need to ask. There are a couple reasons that girls have told me that they go on it. One is obviously no kids. The other is that they have heavy and painful periods and the estrogen in birth control pills really helps out a lot and give them lighter periods with not much blood. And most of all most men gain an inch in length without using condoms and its a much more natural feel to a woman.

  • Tbh I'd rather make sure myself that I don't get pregnant by using 2 types of BC, I have the Implanon imlant and I'm also on the pill. Using a condom isn't neccassary for us. I don't really like them either, they stick, etc. But if you have to use one, then make sure you do.

  • > Why does it bother guys so much when a girl doesn't want to take it?

    It doesn't bother all of us.

    What would really suck is if she says she is taking the pill but either isn't or has forgotten, or isn't too sure about her STI status.

    Not using a condom if that's what you both prefer takes quite a lot of trust from the guy's point of view. Have known several women who have hated the smell and feel of condoms.

  • just like the geico commercial: I just saved a lot of money on child support by switching to condoms, anyways my girlfriend was on birth control for awhile(her choice) as soon as she stopped taking it she was droppin eggs like the Easter bunny. well she is now 8 weeks pregnant and we are both new parents, she is more scared then me, but gonna make it work

    • Oh jesus good luck bro!!

  • 100% important I don't want kids and I don't want to be the cause of putting a girl through pain having kids and I don't want sex to be a consequence for something just to feel amazing etc

  • don't let guys give you that crap. sure having latex between your c ock and that wonderfull greatest part on this planet the vagina. but it really doesn't feel that much different and doesn't change the feeling at all. as a matter of fact some men come faster with a condom on then without one. The thought of that rush of semen coming out or di cks going into the tip of a condom instead of inside the woman is not as satisfying but even when my wife was on the pill (before we married) I still insisted on wearing a condom. She was on the pill when she got pregnant with my first son. so they are not full proof. Dump any guy that has a problem wearing a condom.

    • Doesn't it sound a little harsh though to break up with someone just because he doesn't want to use one? I'd make him wear one anyway, but I really can't take birth control. Why does coming in a girl make it more satisfying? o.O

    • Just the thought that part of me is in her. I really don't know if you women can feel the semen inside of you and if yes, if it feels good or just feels. but I hope it makes her feel good.

    • Yes, girls can feel the come from their guys

  • I would rather just go with both. Get thin condoms...

  • I totally agree…The best policy is Don’t Have Sex Without a Condom!

  • You are right, but you could easily go oral or anal cheaper than a condom...

    • He'd have to be clean though. and anal is GROSS

    • You should still wear a condom if you're having anal sex...sure she won't get pregnant but it's a very delicate area and highly perceptible to diseases.

  • u need to talk about it. you need to talk about if you truly want a kid or not at the current time in your life. if you don't want to. you have to compromise..one or the other..or simply no sex.

    thats how it works. I personally don't ind wearing a condom so..i wouldn't care if she didn't take because but...u have to remember condoms are like a 99% success rate. could break, fall of etc...better to be safe and do both, ya know

    • Yeah, but people still get pregnant on the pill. the sister of a friend of mine got pregnant on the pill, she's only 21.

    • Did she want the baby? pill is just as ineffective as a condom..which means if she didn't want a baby she wouldn't have had sex. she obviously wanted it, remember sex (aside from rape) is a choice, she made the decision to, and well things happen that are out of your control, hence the pill not working in her case

    • She probably wanted to keep it. If I could I'd get my tubes tied, but they say you have to have a kid first :/
