Question on birth control.

[Ryan Heitzman]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but what is the best way for birth control?

I'm a guy and I want to know if it would be a good idea to get fixed at 22 years old? I really don't know about having children yet. Any ideas?

[Ryan Heitzman]

Alright. Let me specify on what I'm trying to ask. Would a bicectame Hurt? Has anybody ever had one here?

[smackie9]

Any surgery is painful. And with a reversal, there are no guarantees. Plus the surgery is very costly. Wear a condom.

[Ryan Heitzman]

The thing about condoms, smackie9, is that they are not always 100 percent accurate. At least that's what I hear.

[smackie9]

Well the best birth control that's 100% is not having sex. Now this is something the condom manufacturers don't tell you is that you need to use a spermicidal foam with a condom to make it 99%, that's the same as the pill. The foam is used with an applicator that the girl injects into her vagina. My doctor also suggests to put some on the end of the penis before putting on a condom. It's seems like a lot of work BUT raising and providing for a child for 18 years is a lot more trouble. I have more advice for you. You need to protect yourself from STDs. Just because a girl looks clean and you gotten to know her doesn't mean she hasn't got something to share. Some viruses like genital warts can hide in the system for 10 years before they even know it. Your GF could get drunk and careless at a party, have unprotected sex, and was too out of it to remember. There are so many scenarios that can play out if you don't protect yourself, you could end up with something incurable. So wrap it up until you are ready for kids. I tell you this never ever trust a girl even if she says she's on the pill. She could forget it take it, or she switched brands or just lies and purposely get pregnant because she sees your relationship failing. Also make sure you flush that condom down the toilet, because there's crazy bitches that will take the sperm in it and try to impregnate themselves with it. And months down the road you are hit with a paternity suit. So be smart about it.

[Ryan Heitzman]

Sorry, but what's a STD? I'm slow I guess.

Taking every word you said seriously. I will be smart about it.

Condoms and spermicide, don't put your seeds at risk.. if you get what i mean. Once you had a vasectomy you can have a reversal but yeah i dunno if it always has the best outcome and what's an STD?? you gotta be kidding me!! you're 22 you should know, STI (sexually transmitted infection) is probably the better name for it, something you can pick up from unprotected sex with another person for example HIV (AIDS), chlamydia, herpes (genital warts) or a urinal infection. There's more to sex than just babies and pleasure you have to also look out for sexual diseases or illnesses that some people carry, thats why i recommend you not to be a sleaze (sleeping around) because I can guarantee if you're not protected you'll pick up something, but I just recommend condoms for now, extra thick ones if you are extra worried, I'm 17 and I seem to know a bit more about this, see your GP/doctor about this kind of information though as I am not a doctor and don't have 100% reliable information. Also remember, most women take the pill so you can always ask a girl before sex if she is on the pill, but still use a condom whether she is or not, girls get birth control too and its alot easier for us because we can just take medication and not have our reproductive system removed as an option. But my final answer is condoms and spermicide just to be extra careful, or no sex at all

Hope this helps

P.S STD and STI are kinda the same thing expect D stands for disease, people have different names for it. just so you're not confused

[Ryan Heitzman]

It does. But I didn't know what an STI was becuase my parents never tell me anything about anything. They hate talkin about this stuff.

[SapphireBerry]

P.S.S condoms are not 100% accurate thats why you can get spermicide, morning after pills (for women) and a few contraception methods, condoms can be at least 99.8% reliable if you're rough and unlucky you can break an extra weak or expired condom, always check expiry dates on the condoms, some go till 2013

[SapphireBerry]

They probably hate talking about it cuz they dont like the idea their son is having sex, or they have religious values and they are very protective of you.
thats why we have doctors and family planning advisers a back up

[Ryan Heitzman]

Yes they are religious. I don't judge them for it but it can be hard to talk about it when you need to. I've only had sex once so far. I just wanted to post this question to know what options there are before I make huge mistakes.

[SapphireBerry]

Well there are a few options that I and many people have given you, and contact a doctor for extra support if you need to, thats what they are there for.
You're parents have their values and if you don't follow them the same that is your own decision. Just consider the advice given to you, if you feel
surgery is the best option take it, but i can assure you it's a silly move at 22 and sometimes can go wrong like all surgeries, if you plan on having kids later
on you dont wanna jeopardize that option too.

[Ryan Heitzman]

Oh, I'm taking the advice Sapphire. I just had to say that about my parents because I don't like it.

I'm not gonna do surgery until I know my partner wants kids or not. Yes I don't want kids but I'm gonna make an exception here for my future wife or girlfriend.
