    Women have more of a cross to bear

    Women have more of a cross to bear in terms of the fact that when guys decide that they don't care for condoms for all kinds of ridiculous reasons, we women have to take on the burden of birth control by taking birth control pills which have a myriad of side effects.

    My point is men SHOULD bear some of the birth control burden. It's not fair that we're the only ones who have to take on this responsibility simply because you guys don't like wearing condoms.

    If you think for one minute that I would let a GUY be responsible for something that could get me pregnant, you're mistaken.

    My body. My rules. My responsibility.

    He can pay for it, though.

    When my Gf suggested she could take pills, i immeadetly popped a question of what does it do to her. I can go with condoms, however feeling that natural tissue is comfy once in a while.
    Don't expect anything.

    guys are the ones who pay for dates, which typically includes going somewhere, dinner, and gas money. I'm sure you can afford to pay for birth control.

    It's not about paying for them, it's about the whole idea of having to take the side effects of these pills when all a guy has to do is slip in and out of condom. I can't remember the last time I heard there were side effects associated with condom use.

    Another ignorant comment.

    I suppose if they pay for an expensive enough meal, that probably justifies a couple of punches too? Yet another brilliant post, Tractor.

    I got my fiance to agree to condoms just for this reason. This pill has always had a bad effect on me, and after 10+ years, I was tired of pumping my body full of extra unnecessary hormones. Why should I feel sick so we can have sex?

    It's funny how the guy who doesn't use condoms because it feels good, is also usually the first one to rush the girl to the abortion clinic or leave all together upon hearing the news. No personal responsibility with those types.

    yeah I can understand that.

    A lot of girls the pill helps control mood swings and bad periods, doesn't it?
    Is it burnin'? Well, f-ck, now you're learnin'.

    From what I understand it ADDS mood swings and pounds.

    Not for me, though. I'd rather get an IUD.

    2 of the girls I'm sleeping with are on birth control. Thank God (that one's for you Mishanya).
