Do you do it or do you pull out?

8% yearly failure rate with couples and the fact that SHE is responsible for taking them has kept me skeptical..

So I guess I’ll take this opportunity to share some of TC’s rules for safe sex.

First of all, every guy out there knows how much condoms suck.  They’re uncomfortable, they’re inconvenient, and they just don’t feel all that great.  So the temptation to doing sans-condom is always there.  The answer to this is, of course, doing it with a girl who’s on birth control!  After all, the chances of her getting preggers is about as good as when you wear a condom, right?

Well, before you dive in (literally), there are some things you need to consider…

First of all, you’re going to want to know if you can trust this girl.  Is she reliable?  Does she actually take her pills like she’s supposed to?  Is she disease free?  If the girl is flaky, forgetful, or a slut, then those are definite warning signs you do not want to be barebacking.  Condoms may suck, but they are very good at two things – preventing pregnancy and preventing disease.  So before you toss the jimmy hats away, think about the girl you’re gonna be having sex with.

Second, try and find out her views on being pregnant before you do anything with her.  Some girls will be paranoid about getting pregnant, some might not be worried about it.  But when/if it happens, you have to know how she’ll react.  Is she strongly religious or pro-life?  If that’s the case, she may not agree to an abortion, and then you’re stuck with a kid if an accident happens.  Always find out what the girl is open to when it comes to an unwanted pregnancy before you have sex without a condom.  If she’s fine with abortions, then its okay to take the chance, but if she’s not, then don’t risk it.

Don’t bareback women you don’t know that well.  Personally, I would never bareback a girl I’ve just met, even if she said she was on the pill, barren, totally clean, or whatever.  There’s just no way I’m taking that chance.  Save off for a girl you’re in a relationship with if you can, or at least a girl you know really well.  (As in, you’ve already had sex with her a few times.)

Have some emergency precautions available as well.  Go to your local CVS or any other pharmacy, and spend $50 on a morning after pill.  This is your “saving grace” purchase.  It’s always a good idea to have this handy in case your condom breaks or comes off, but if you’re really worried, just have the girl take it after you’re done with sex (and for the love of God, actually WATCH HER take it!).  Get the kind that’s just one pill, not the kind that requires two.  This isn’t 100% effective, but it will offer some added protection if you’re worried maybe the girl hasn’t been that diligent about taking her birth control.

And if you REALLY want to be sure, take your girl in for a Depo-Provera shot.  It’s a simple injection her doctor can give her, and it can prevent pregnancy for up to three months.  This is one of the most effective birth control methods available, and it works even better if the girl gets the shot every 12 weeks, because the hormone will build up in their system.   If you REALLY wanna bang a girl without a condom and blow your load inside her, this is the way to go.  However, it does require a prescription from her doctor, so it will require time, money, and effort on her part to get it.  If she can’t afford to see a doctor or whatever, you may want to pay for this yourself.

So there you go!  Just remember that you always take a risk when you don’t jimmy up.  And it’s not just an issue of pregnancy, it’s also an issue of disease.  So be sure you trust the girl you’re with, take all the preparations you can to stay safe, and have a back-up plan just in case something goes wrong.
