I mean, I know men are shit, being one and all, but why would a guy lie about this besides being cheap and lazy? Guess I answered my own question, but damn, how cheap and lazy can we be, especially when there’s no pleasure excuse to be made!?

Truth: I have no idea why guys are so into bareback. Is it a dominance thing? Does a teensy bit of condom really, really make that much difference? Because no guy I’ve ever been with has said they change the sensation enough to matter.

Your comment is only applicable to sociopaths

Women have lied about taking the pill as well, to trap a partner in a relationship of some kind. The take-away is, that unless you’re in a very committed relationship, don’t just trust that someone is or isn’t taking the pill. Both sexes can be scandalous as fuck given the proper incentive or lack of motivation to do…

I just love how this is the first take on almost any article like this, assuming because of the actions of admittedly too many men that a man that claims “he’s on the pill” is most likely just lying to go bareback, while conveniently overlooking just how many breakups, paternity suits and divorces will probably arise…

That just shows you’ve got the package from somewhere and that you’ve removed pills from said package. It doesn’t prove anything as far as having actually taken them.

Those kind of sleazeballs already exist anyway, they pull off (literally at times) schemes all the time that put others at risk just for the opportunity to go raw. It’s creepy, disgusting and blatantly uncool.

No way would any woman I know trust a guy with this.

You’re correct, but guys who aren’t on it can then just keep their traps shut about the child support issue and pay up.

That is one of the most twisted things I have ever heard. I’m not American and that’s not an attitude I’ve heard any man express. Avoiding getting someone pregnant by accident is the norm here.

I can’t believe we’re even discussing the idea that one would not look out for one’s own reproductive and sexual health.

Am I supposed to think this is some big blow to women, men not having a birth control pill?

But why?! If I had a reliable method to prevent unwanted pregnancy entirely in my own control I’d be all over it.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with PrEP but I imagine it would work much the same way. Once you cross the access and availability hurdle, there will be no reason not to actually take it. There’s far more incentive to adhere and avoid an unintended outcome than to lie about it and do it anyway knowing what could…

So you women are just going to believe any guy who says he is on it?

I’m on a continuous pill as well to treat endometriosis, and it’s amazing. I wish more doctors talked about it as an option for women. I suffered for a long time before I found a doctor who suggested it.

Amen

Well, I would hope people would be as smart about male BC as they would female BC. It should not be the only form of contraception with casual partners because of STI risks. If there isn’t enough trust to be sure that they are taking the pill, you really shouldn’t be fucking without a condom to begin with.

This is a serious problem. Unless I’m in a committed long term relationship, I’m not taking a guy’s word for it.

Oh gawd nooooooooo! Not even just for sexy times.
