We dated for a year using condoms until I got on the Pill. Ever since then, we have not used condoms and he has not pulled out when he cums. I've never had any pregnancy scares or been late (this also due to the fact I take my pills at 8am every morning). So the decision is truly yours, but be careful no matter what lol.

I was very careless with condoms all during my teen years, letting my boyfriends pull out on my belly instead. I never got pregnant, so it must work to a certain extent.

Yes, we are monogamous, we trust each other, (why would one have sex with someone if you didn't?) and it has worked. He has never "forgotten" in the heat of the moment, never lied, never came before he pulled out. The only time he has NOT withdrawn is only a couple of times,(not counting periods) and ONLY at my urging (and yeah, I got pregnant twice as the result of this, but we were OK with the idea of more kids, so it wasn't a big deal. I'M the one with no self control when it comes to sex in this relationship.) Somebody talked about condoms, foam AND withdrawal? Is that sex? May as well just lie next to each other and masturbate. Ever accidentally EAT foam? Ugh. Also, not everyone has sex in this order 1)manual 2)oral and then 3)intercourse a lot of us like to mix it up the whole time, going from one to an other. Means foam gets in your mouth. YUCK. (Of course with anal, if being used last. Or keep a wash cloth with some nice clean rinsing soap on the headboard....) As we are talking about anal, My Man also withdraws then. Why? SEEPAGE. If you are already lying on your belly, (or even if you aren't) that junk is going to seep right into where you DON'T want it, nearly every time. Anal is NO form of birth control. And, from my experience, the "precome containing sperm and will get you pregnant" is really too played up by many BC talkers. In over 20 years of using withdrawal, I have never become pregnant from precome. My Man and I are very fertile (well, less now, as we get older) and if anyone would have got pregnant from "precome" I'm pretty sure I would have. (Got preg virtually every time we had "unprotected sex" when I wasn't menstruating.) The reason we resorted to this. 1) Latex allergy, (and a large Man, Large condoms are nearly impossible to find in a non-latex variety. Regular condoms break, hurt him, only come half way up, or simply don't go on most of the way at all.) The Pill making me very ill, diaphragm causing UTIs (and the whole latex thing again) not being able to find cervical caps, "Today" sponges" getting stuck, and then being taken off the market (I know they're back, and they contain latex, and spermicide) Internal Plumbing problems preventing the insertion of a IUD, and being allergic to spermicide. So, what's left? Pulling out. It isn't a form of BC I would encourage my teen and 20something unmarried daughters to engage in, but in some relationships, it really DOES work.

First, i would like to say that i enjoy sex more without a condom, it just feels better. I know exactley 10 days after the first day of my cycle i ovulate for 7 days, so during that time we use the pullout method.

It feels good when he ejaculates on u. I agree if you have anal sex ur safe. Although there are times when he cums inside you it tends to make you cum hard when u feel it. Im 40 years old and tubes tied so I dont have to worry about that. I just enjoy the great feeling of sex. although ladies and guys too, u have to make sure that the person u have sex with is clean and disease free.If their disease free and u know u cant get pregnant, HAVE A LL THE GREAT SEX U CAN. I DO. Sometimes I love the fact that a man pull out. It feels good when he ejaculates on u. I agree if you have anal sex ur safe.
