My gf never allowed the use of them since day one
Tried them when she had her iud out briefly and she didn't enjoy whatsoever
But man bad I guess
I mean it's her choice, which I think is the important part to consider here. Not all birth control medications affect women the same. Some women can be on birth control and the side effects are actually helpful. But a lot of birth control medications really fuck with them, leading to some nasty unintended side effects that seem pretty wild when compared to the only side effect of appropriate condom usage of "doesn't feel as good."
The meme isn't saying "man bad" it's saying "side effects of condoms aren't nearly as bad as fucking with women's hormones."
Can confirm the women's hormones part. When my wife was trying a new birth control pill one time, she was extremely paranoid about everything. It took a while to figure out the new pill was the source. She normally has some anxiety, but this was well off the charts. Other pills caused different issues, it was a roller coaster there for a while.
yeah I dated a couple women who loved their birth control because their periods were really bad, and the pill removed that from their life almost completely. Then other women who never could find one that worked for them, and so we relied solely on condoms. I loved having sex with all of them, 11/10 would not impregnate again
Nah this meme is just misandrist rage bait. Male birth control doesn't exist because we haven't figured it out yet. I think we are getting close though.
male birth control was like, the first birth control we invented? condoms?
Also vasectomies are stupid easy to perform, and even if you change your mind afterwards, all your baby making stuff is still present. They can completely reverse a vasectomy within 5 -7 years, and after that, IVF. Anyone who reads this meme as misandrist either lacks reading comprehension or is wildly misogynist.
I'm talking male birth control pills. Condoms aren't really effective enough to be birth control on their own
I mean, is 98% effective not effective enough?
I personally wouldn't want a male birth control pill, because I'd have to remember to take it, and it'd inevitably have unforeseen side effects. Add into that the hassle of getting it paid for through insurance, having to go to a doctor for it, what if that one doesn't work, gotta try a different one, each time you have to commit to taking that pill for several months to ensure your body adjusts to it before you can rule it out... what a nightmare! Nah, I'll just wrap my willy until it's time for a vasectomy.
I've gotten someone pregnant before with a condom so my experience is different than yours I guess ha
lmao ok I understand you now, brother haha
same with my gf. allergic to latex and hates the fact that other options use animal skin. so i have no choice but to go in unprotected. tough world but ill live 😂
She isn't allergic, she just says she doesn't enjoy fucking a sandwich bag
no she is allergic she cant wear latex gloved
Oh my bad I was talking about my situation ha
Non-latex non-animal condoms are quite common where I'm from, are they rare in your country?
ive only found latex or animal skin, but i also havent looked in 6 years
