btw everyone trojans bareskin condoms are actually really fucking good
latex smell just ruins the mood for me and this stuff wasn't noticeable at all. no nasty ass lube either.
Yeah, those are decent. I've been using Lifestyle Thyns lately, they're also quite nice. But I don't have the same aversion to latex smell and/or lube.

Dtrain's method of birth control: Pulling out and rhythm method. If I create a child? Meh, I'm married so it's all good.

My bro-in-law and his wife use those methods. They are on their 4th kid.

Now imagine how many kids they would've had if they didn't use this method.

why are your women not on the pill? I know some women can't use it because of crossing meds and I don't actually know how expensive they are but girls I know who don't even hook up with people take the pill just to "help" with periods. Idk if that meant frequency, emotions, or for-lack-of-a-better-term "flow strength". but that seems like it should all be in the interest of the woman's significant other.

The pill is awesome. I love it, mostly because I fucking hate the smell of regular condoms, but also the freedom of the pill is a big plus.
However, it comes with significant risks, and without some form of coverage it can sometimes be a bit expensive. It can be about $28 per pack without coverage, so that's around $400 a year. With coverage it can be as low as about $4 a pack, or sometimes free if you know where to get it.
My sister told me once about how the first time she was prescribed the pill, it put her in the hospital. Another girl I grew up with has recently had VERY severe, permanent health complications because of a specific pill, although this one (Yasmin) is known for its massive complications. Still, there is always a high risk factor and they aren't without smaller risks either.
It markedly effects my moods, and it has assisted with a bit of weight gain back in the day. For me, it was pretty lucky that the majority of other effects haven't been there. But I still need to be tested every year. These pills apparently increase the risk of certain cancers, of blood clotting, and other serious stuff.
In fact, there are pluses that make it something I would be on even if I weren't having sex all the time (I had severe pain without it, this lessens it to almost nothing, as well as other complications it takes care of but brb.u probably doesn't want to hear). Nice for my complexion too actually. But it isn't as easy as saying "She should take the pill then it's easier for everyone!" because it's not always that easy of a decision to make.

Also, for a lot of CAtholics, the pill is verboten. Rhythm is the only method allowed.
