Superb Opinion

  • I've had a vasectomy (can be reversed if I ever want it to be)

    So when I'm in a trusting 'friends with benefits' friendship or relationship with a girl we can have 'bare' sexual foreplay (ejaculating onto her clitoris sometimes while gliding the mushroom head of my sexual hardness to + fro along her vagina slit + clitoris) and/or ejaculate naturally inside her vagina during p-v sexual lovemaking

    The sexual sensations are sooooo much more pleasurable with skin on skin sexual foreplay + intercourse with a girl !

  • I had a vasectomy 15 years ago. My wife has the Mirena implant to help with an irregular menstrual cycle. Plus I use the withdrawal method every time so the bedding doesn't get so wet and cleanup is easier.
    That's what works for us.

  • I never used one. My bfs were good at the pull out method. Though my parents when I was younger going into college wanted me to get on one. I refused and never had to use one. The pull out only works for experienced men. Not all men can do it successfully. But I only used it for a couple bfs I knew who could do it successfully. The other ones we used a condom.

    • I’ve been successful at pullout since the start... 10 years of sex and no kids ;)

  • I don't know the name of it, but I go to my doctor and take a shot every 6 months. It is very effective! I have been on birth control since I was able to get pregnant. I like the shots because it is so easy and I don't have to worry about taking a pill.

    • Depo provera 😊

  • In the past, I've used nuva ring, and two different combo birth control pills.
    For each of those, the side effects (weight gain, lethargy, mood swings, no libido) outweighed the alleged contraception they provided.

    For the past two years, we rely mostly on the withdrawal method. In combination with the rhythm method (which leads us to usually use condoms a week before I'm due to ovulate)

  • You should have put Plan B as an option because I have observed more than I care to count on GaG that are using Plan B as their primary birth control. Very expensive and stupid.

    • Can only put 7 options which is why there is an other

  • IUD and swallow

    • Isn’t the “Sex-in-the-Mouth/Swallow” method 100% effective by itself? Lol

  • i have been using erectile dysfunction very successfully for many years now. haven't made a single baby with it

  • I use (or my partner does) condoms.

    I do consider if I ever got a long term boyfriend again, I might go to the pill instead.

  • None, I am fixed... lol. So party away not!! Lol. 😊 I am careful...

  • I've had 3x implanon, 2x mirena, copper IUD, 6 types of combined pills, depo, progesterone only pill, condoms and the most effective for us is ovulation tracking and pull out method

  • I’ve always used the pill. I’m fine with it.

  • Sex standing up

    • Lol you're kidding

  • I used BC pills and an IUD together..

    I have gotten prego on BC pills alone.. it was a tubal ligation.. had to have an abortion.

    both the teen girls here are on BC pills and IUD... we tried the in the arm thing, but it moved too much.. our obgyn suggested the Pills and IUD to be safe.

  • We don't use any

  • Implant. Supposedly it's the safest thing on the market currently, and it works great for my boyfriend and me. No condoms, maximum feel and it hasn't bothered me. I also got mine for free, because in my country it's covered for people under the age of 20.

    • Yeah it was great for me up until the year I needed to get it taken out. I was having crazy dizzy spells, like head rush any time I stood up, was fainting a lot and would literally nap for a couple hours every day. All the issues went away after I switched to birth control

  • Got a vasectomy a 3 years ago.

  • Implant but I would only do this with a partner I know I’m going to be with for a long otherwise it’s abstinence

    • You mean you are trying to say you are sane? No way...

  • My birth control method is age!

  • condoms & morning after pills at times

  • Ovulation method combined with pull out method 🙂 has lasted us 5 years

  • I want to have children and usually birth control methods can affect the woman’s body and make it more difficult for her to conceive so I just use protection.

  • Abstanance has a 100% effectiveness rating by the way

    • No shit Sherlock

    • Sorry, I tend to say the obvious and am trying to speak less.

  • Simple abstinence usually works for me. I've met some freaky, scary women. But none that would do things to me in my sleep just to steal my sperm. Never *that* crazy.
