I am 32F. Never could get a chance to land up in bed before with a cool guy so never did birth control pills either.
Last week, I found out someone is willing to do more than kissing/makeout to me, which is awesome! He also ate me out as one thing let to another but didn’t ask anything in return, neither tried to penetrate. He just wanted to make me feel better that I am also worth doing it. He was very calm and kept telling me how gorgeous I am!
But now, I know next time it would be more so should I start taking birth control pills ? Do I need to take the pills every day even when its once in 7-10 days we are doing anything sexy ? If there’s a better alternative, I’m all ears. I’m from a country where sex education is not a thing but now I live in the US.

Probably a good idea if you’re going to be sexually active. The pill you take everyday, besides one week (usually the week of your period) you don’t take them, some packs have little sugar pills you can take that week to keep you in the habit but they don’t do anything. There’s so many types of BC the pill is what worked best for me, making an appointment with your dr or clinic they can go through them with you!
If you don’t want to get pregnant, and want to o the pill route, you absolutely have to take it EVERY SINGLE DAY regardless of the frequency of sex. Most pills take about 2 weeks to become effective, and if you skip a day, or don’t take them generally at the same time of day (+or- a few hours) they will not be great at preventing pregnancy. Make sure you’re using another form of contraception, until your doctor gives you the okay.
