this is my first relationship (we were both virgins) and i’m considering going on birth control. we use condoms every time but i hear that sex is better without them. is going on BC worth it? i’m scared of side effects

Considering the current political climate I would not go without condoms even if you are on bc

honestly that’s a very personal decision, when i 1st got on birth control we still used condoms for maybe 6-7 months in then we started going raw. he’s the only person i’ve ever been with and so far so good. it did take time to find the right bc dosage for me because the 1st 2 types i was always bleeding majorly of the month. now i only get my period during my placebos. also remember there’s always the chance of getting pregnant no matter what.

and there’s more to think about than just pregnancy. you have to consider stds too because unfortunately ppl can and do cheat. not saying your bf will and i fortunately haven’t had any issues, but it does happen. he can also throw off your ph, it can simply be the soap he uses or his cum (even if yall don’t plan on him nutting in you accidents happen)
