Birth Control

[Supercreampie]

What kind of birth control did you prefer?

[Nick Nayme]

Not rubbers, for several obvious reasons.

Not spermicide cream; when you are fucking and about to cum and tell your girl, and she asks for it in her mouth because she loves cum, and you put it in her mouth, she discovers that it burns like battery acid.

Not tubes tied. Suppose you change your mind about a baby.

The pill? Maybe. you never forget anything?

So, down to abstinence, rythm and diaphragm.

I'll guess that diaphragm is my favorite.

You do still usuailly use spermicides with a diaphragm.

At this time in my life, me and my fiancee have decided that he should use a condom and I am also on the pill. That way, it has twice the certinty of not getting pregnant or passing anything unwanted between us. I think that it should be a decision discussed between both partners.

condoms are the easiest thing to get. I know when my ex boyfriend and I were talking about having sex we went with the idea of condoms.

Don't like to wear gloves when typing or playing piano.

Don't like to wear diving suit in shower.

Don't like to wear overcoat when slow dancing.

Etc.

Haven't been concerned about birth control for a while so may be wrong, but thought there was one kind of insert, or, so called diaphragm which effectively blocked sperm without spermicide.

Depo-Provera. Was so easy and didn't have to think about it. 99.7% effective. A big plus for women, you usually stopped getting your monthly cycle.

"A diaphragm is a thin rubber dome with a springy and flexible rim. It is inserted into the vagina, fits over the cervix and is held in place by vaginal muscles. A diaphragm holds spermicide in place over the cervix (opening to the uterus). Spermicide kills sperm, preventing fertilization. After intercourse, it should be left in place for 6-8 hours. Diaphragms are 86-94% effective as birth control.

Diaphragms may offer some limited protection against reproductive tract infections and HIV/AIDS."

Also, a diaphragm has to be fitted by a doctor, and not all women are comftorable doing so. I also see that it is harder to place inside the woman then a comdom for a man.

I agree with Caitlin, condoms are the easiest to get, so they are used the most. And are also the best protection agains STD's.

I've thought about going on that, but I heard it's not good to go on it if you want to have kids because it's hard to get off of. Is that true :?:

What do you mean exactly by hard to get off? It's a shot that lasts for 11 - 13 weeks, then you need to get another one. If you plan on having kids once you go off Depo...normal fertility takes about 9 months, but for some women it can take up to 2 yrs. So if you are interested in starting a family in a certain time table, then it's probably not the best route to go.

My poor memory is straining to get the kind of diaphragm I'm barely thinking of. It is a small metal or plastic thing which is inserted and left in place until a doctor is employed to remove it. And it seems that I recall that some specific kind of metal is naturally spermicidal.

I should research this myself and will do so.

I think that's the sponge. Weren't they found to cause cancer or something?

[Nympho]

no, I don't think he means the sponge.

I know what it is he means, but I can't think of the name of it right now.

It is inserted sergicly into the uterus, to fill up the space so no pregnancy can occur.

It has been found to be quite dangerous (in my opinion). Inserting anything forign into the uterus can cause all kinds of infections..

[Nympho]

ah-ha! with the powers of google, I think I have figured out what he was talking about. Although it is a little different then I thought it was (I didn't really know that much about it though).

"An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small object that is inserted through the cervix and placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. A small string hangs down from the IUD into the upper part of the vagina. The IUD is not noticeable during intercourse. IUDs can last 1-10 years. They affect the movements of eggs and sperm to prevent fertilization. They also change the lining of the uterus and prevent implantation. IUDs are 99.2-99.9% effective as birth control. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS."

Nympho, thanks. That sounds like what my swiss cheese memory was trying to dig up.

While everyone sexually active should seriously regard STD prevention, my personal life style is such that I have extremely low risk of obtaining or providing an STD by sex activity ( or lack thereof ). Therefore my only concern ( and presently not a strong one ) is planning pregnancy ( or lack thereof ).

You have been so helpful, I could kiss you all over. And over again.

[Nympho]

^_^ no problem. you're welcome.

just remember that it should be something discussed between both you and your partner. :D
