At what point in a relationship do you ditch a condom

8 comments

1. for us, on our wedding night

2. My partner and I stopped using them around 5 months in.

   Don’t forget STI testing for both of you if you didn’t get that done before starting to have unprotected sex.

3. When you want kids or using another form of effective birth control. My GF, now my wife, used an IUD for 15 years and I never pulled out. But I was also OK with having another kid if it happened.

4. This is bad, but on our first date. We had both gotten tested before having sex at all, and my spouse had an IUD put in just a grip of weeks before I met them, and we were so into eachother that we ended up fuckin like 6 times that first night and finishing inside everytime.

   Risky as hell and i dont recommend it regardless of tge fact that wverytging worked out fine for us.

5. Right when you decide that you nolonger care about sleep, money, and/or personal freedom

6. Who cares, impregnate her. Then just kill it. Isn’t that how us Americans want to live?

7. I was always on birth control so typically a few months in at least and once we’ve decided t be exclusive, discussed STIs and testing.

8. There’s lots of silly paranoia on this thread. IUDs are incredibly effective. The hormonal types are as reliable as surgical sterilization and even the copper ones have a failure rate well under 1% per year.

   My now-wife and I used condoms the first few times we slept together. Around the fourth time she said she didn’t care if we used them so we stopped. 10 years of creampies later we’re still at zero pregnancies.
