Personally I dont trust condoms! Even though i'm female I dont trust them! Me and my boyfriend were using one, one time and it broke and he was almost going to cum and if he did I would have probably gotten pregnant, ever since then we haven't really been using condoms, but we've both been tested for diseases and stuff like that, but we were each others firsts! Anyways thats my opinion, I don't trust them, do you?

Fair. With "perfect" use, they are around 98-99% reliable. With actual use it is more like 90-92% reliable.

They say no form of birth control is pefect but I trust condoms. Sometimes people say they don't enjoy sex as much with condoms (that's mostly boys :lol: ) but I know I always did cuz it was like I knew we were doing something then and there so I wouldn't get pregnant and I could enjoy it more.

That probably sounds funny since i'm 22 weeks preg now but fact is I got this way one of the only times we didn't use a condom. We went to the beach for one last weekend labor day before school started and ran out of condoms. (yeah, we had a good weekend. :lol: ) thing is we almost got it perfect cuz we used the last one sunday night, but then when we woke up monday before we came back home we were "too much in the mood" to go get some more so ... Bingo! So as far as i'm concerned condoms definitely work cuz we only ever did it 2-3 times without one but I guess that was one time too many. :lol:

I don't thnk tehre is 100% proof way to stay safe. But condoms are shown to be 98% effective if used 100% correct. So be careful...You may want to also try other birth controls as well as the condom

I suggest using condoms to prevent spread of diseases (and you can have, catch diseases even if you are with only one partner) and backing it up with another form of birth control in case it breaks.

if it broke while inside you then the chances are there was plenty of pre-cum around anyay so if you were going to have gotten pregnant you would have anyway.
