My gf takes pills for and endocrine condition, but we still use condoms cuz we are paranoic.
Raw is nice from time to time, tho
Obviously it varies from person to person but the vast majority of women see improvements in quality of life from birth control. Severe side effects are actually quite rare. They just seem common because the internet amplifies negative experiences. That being said, a viable male birth control cannot come soon enough.
Getting an IUD was such a load off my mind. Definitely increased my sexual happiness. Yes, insertion is painful and I wish my partner and I could trade off every 5 years. Actually, we’d both probably just get it because increased security is worth the 3 minutes of big ouch and 1 day of small ouch.
Condoms are not as effective as hormonal (or copper iud) birth control. Using them instead of birth control increases “fairness” but the least fair thing that can happen in consensual, healthy sex is an unwanted pregnancy and that happens to the AFAB person.
This argument is so stupid for the majority of people who have sex. Exception being AFABs with awful side effects.
This is true but reversal surgery is expensive and not usually covered by insurance. Reversal success rates are also not great, especially if you wait a long time.
