Posted April 7, 2011 Forgot to put that part of my story in. DUDE. He was all cool about it, though he told me condoms are only like 80-90% effective, I thought they were at least 98% (when they don't tear obviously). Was it a sex health thing? If you're curious about contraceptive stuff (not STI protection) my girlfriend got an injection that's ridiculously effective and lasts 3 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2011 Nah we both clean. Not sure how much I want to say on a forum of people I've never met :p Basically, its something common. Can't have sex for like a month though >_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was all cool about it, though he told me condoms are only like 80-90% effective, I thought they were at least 98% (when they don't tear obviously). I think it's something like 97% so long as you use them totally correctly and they don't break. But people generally get it wrong some way or another, hence the lower percentage. And I think I can guess your malady... Also Dan - are you sure you don't mean an implant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I think I can guess your malady... Also Dan - are you sure you don't mean an implant? It's similar, but yes. It's an injection. We're basically baby proof and don't need to use condoms ever again, which is good because they're really shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2011 Ha so my guess earlier was right? And yes, the implant is win. Housemate has it which once led to this conversation at a pharmacy: Me: Hi, my housemate is feeling sick (or whatever it was) Pharmacist: Hmm, could be pregnancy. Me: No it can't. Pharmacist: She may want to check... Me: No, she has an injection that stops terrible things like that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Forgot to put that part of my story in. DUDE. He was all cool about it, though he told me condoms are only like 80-90% effective, I thought they were at least 98% (when they don't tear obviously). Condoms are actually less reliable than the pill (if taken properly), I rely on both, but when I found out how high the percentage is compared to condoms a few years ago it shocked me, the only really good thing about them is obviously stds. The condom is about 97 and the pill if correct is a bit higher, like 98. I believe, it's difficult off the top of your head. Using both (double dutch method?) is the best way! EDIT: The only problem with the injection is it can be quite nasty when you want to come off it, it can take quite some time for things to get back to normal (a year etc.), which isn't ideal! Implants are fine, but can cause a massive amounts of problems whilst on them, so can the pill. In other words boys: suck it up! The poor girls have to endure far more for sexual needs :P.

Posted April 7, 2011 Doctor said more like 8-90% for condoms, but I think he was doing it for the scare factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2011 The most effective form of contraceptive is your face Elliot so maybe she should stop putting that bag over it in bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7, 2011 My sister's a trainee doctor; she says she's always so glad whenever someone comes in who isn't disease-ridden/dying that she literally doesn't care about looking at people's genitals. I loved the nurse last time I went to the GUM clinic. Had stunning chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2011 But condoms are so uncomfortable! You have no idea how much we suffer. Truth. They're just...staggeringly unerotic. Pretty much every sensation men find arousing is blocked out by them so, trust me, we're grateful when girls can take precautions of their own. If they ever get round to that man-pill that's in testing, I'll certainly take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7, 2011 But condoms are so uncomfortable! You have no idea how much we suffer. I know, I know, I'm not that mean, it's just, compared to what women have to do for contraception, it isn't that big of a deal for you guys, sure it can be uncomfortable, but I'd love for you guys to go and read some of the utter bullshit that comes with taking the pill or having the implant etc, for example some pills can lead to blood clots, cancer and lesser such as weight gain, mood swings, depression. For me, I prefer both, so both the man and woman take an interest, right now it's biased (and no I don't blame men for that at all.) It's just really freaking irritating.

Posted April 7, 2011 Don't see the problem with condoms to be honest. They do a good job, so what if your dick smells of rubber? It covers the reek of nobcheese you had before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
