( tbc, most of the time we don't use anything because I am infertile. This is a belt and braces option in case I decide not to be infertile while on drugs which would mean I had to abort a baby. That would be pretty soul destroying so while its not going to happen, why risk it?)I am going to show my age here...why do married couples need to use these for contraception.
I am assuming it is safe because of the 'married' bit. That is how I think it works.
Because its our preferred method. No other reason, we don't sleep around, DH doesn't share.
I won't use anything hormonal as it reduced my libido. When its all I really have left of the me before I'm clinging onto it for dear life :cool:
Don't fancy a diaphragm, IUd isn't suitable for me. We usually don't use anything because we don't need to,
but condoms have advantages in some situations so we always have some knocking about.
oh, hang on. Before of the dirtier minded get to excited I'm going to give an alternative to the obvious situation. They are cleaner for quickies in unexpected situations... There you go.. Quick save huh.
Spirit, if you want to know what I saved from I'll PM you to save y public blushes if you like. ( second edit...no, public health warnings are important, I consider this my duty. Even in monogomous relationships of any orientation , condoms are Advisory for anyone who engages in anal sex) .
( edit....I also used to give condoms to dh's little sister and you get cousin when they stayed with us. They probably thought I was nuts, both were adult, but I'd rather be certain)0 -

I'm guessing medical reasons why hormonal methods not suitable, don't fancy snip (either his or hers) and don't like any of the alternatives. But it's not my problem any more, and hasn't been for years now.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

I hope someone else is gettin my quota too. My average for the past er few years can be counted on no hands!If I wasn't married I would definitely take you up on the offer
Errr... it wasn't exactly an offer. Unless you are 6 foot 3 with black/brown hair...0 -

A problem with hormonal contraception, I assume? Rather than the STD element.
A coil might be less hassle and cheaper (very MSE thought, there.....)lostinrates wrote: »The non Mse one is to just spend more on the ones that make both of us happy, surely.
At £40 quid for a huge number, they're not that expensive. Or you could get the free NHS rubber boots ones?
Contraception isn't an issue for us at the moment - I can't get more pregnant, after all!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I don't share, either. I share other things (in a sibling share-your-toys fashion), and I'm not possessive about OH's time, if he wants to go climbing / hiking with his mate in Scotland in the winter, I'm only too happy for him to go and enjoy it. I loathe the idea of being joined at the hip and only doing things with OH, never on my own, or with my family, or mates.
But I'm extremely possessive about OH in an intimate sense. I couldn't ever be one of those women who can manage to turn a blind eye....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Coil not an option.
One of my require ments is latex free, Narrows the field. One of dh's requirements narrows the field further. Not allergic, but makes a difference somehow.

Isaac's interest in sex education has been rather enhanced in the last 10 days or so.
I've very rarely seen OH lost for words, but when I handed on the question, "ask your Abba!" that Isaac asked this weekend, "does it tickle when the sperm come out of your willy to fertilise Mummy?" he did look a bit hunted.
WE're trying to tread the very narrow line between making sex secret / dirty / unmentionable, and to try to imply the socially-accepted times and places to discuss it. Which is a tricky one, actually....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
