Why do you wear/not wear a condom?

So, as erupted in a pill thread earlier, why do you use more than one method of contraception?

Would you use a condom if you had been with the person for a long time, and/or had been tested for any infections?

Are you still worried about pregnancy, even with the pill?

If you don't wear one; Aren't you worried about pregnancy and STIs?

Do you just hate condoms?

Who added that poll? Get rid of it, I was about to do one (a different one, with many different contraceptive options)

A mod.

Hello? Mods? Can you get rid of that poll, please? So I can add one that is actually constructive and not repetitive.

I don't know if they realise that that poll has already been done. Mine was:

What method of contraception do you prefer?

EDIT: Well, seeing as no mods seem to bother listening and don't mind someone posting a spam poll, here are the options I was going to include:
Pill and Condom
Other combined
Just pill
Just condom
IUD
Injection/Implant
Female Condom
Other

Yay. Sorry, I just wanted a more comprehensive poll, because the only ones I could find were just about condoms.

Does the female condom (weirdest. thing. ever.) prevent STIs too? I never could tell.

I would assume so as it's a barrier form of contraception. But you couldn't pay me to wear one :biggrin:

i dont usually bother with contraception unless i think there is a chance i will stay with the girl, or if she is sober enough to realise properly what she is doing.

Ok, now that IS a view that I cannot tolerate. What's the moderators view on internet violence!?

If I didn't see it, nothing happened :wink:

I'm hoping these people are just trolling, because if not it's a very sad state of affairs.

Quite agree, not unsensible topic being degraded by people. when half of tsr's younger generation are pregnant next year, we'll know who to blame! Personally dont like condoms, but im on the pill and my bf has no STI's as neither do i. And the female condom just isnt safe enough for my liking as there can be leakages upon removal which lead to babies and genital warts, neither of which sounds terribly appealing to me.

Oh, and the "pull out before you cum" is so far from fool proof its uncanny, its a miracle in three months you didnt get her knocked up, you do lose a certain amount of sperm during sex also, and with some people, the precum that occurs the whole way through in case you hadnt noticed, can be absolutly full of happy healthy sperm, and it only takes one, they have a week to get the job done remember!

so, there you have it

My gf and I use condoms and nothing else. Neither us minds them and we've been using them since we been together, 2 years now.

I guess it's down to personal taste, although being safe is most important.

I was happy using just one and i belive my boyfriend would be too we'd just disagree on methods. He doesn't trust the pill and i don't trust condoms, whereas i trust the pill and he trusts condoms so we use both to keep each other happy.
