News abstinence vs protection

that's why there's birth control. either you're dating out of league and you're willing to wait and she's getting it somewhere else or no other guys are attracted to her. most girls will not hold out.

Ultrathins or nothing.

that sounds like a girl scout cookie

It does doesn't it?

ah experience

damnit, i should have gone to your school. the only ones they give out over here are the cheap ones

It's statements like this why I love you so.

IMO Pill's effectiveness resides with the person using it. I dont trust my gf, thus she's on the "shot".

<3

you shouldn't be with someone you don't trust. seriously.

I trust her. I just think it's a hassle to have to take a pill everyday. I know I won't want to do it.

I believe that birth control PILLS have to be taken every day at close to the same time everyday.

i took a pill every day for years. never missed a pill, never missed the time i needed to take it. millions of other women do this without issue. you said you didn't trust her. i quoted it. why change your mind on that?

This.

I know I don't wanna take pills everyday

nor needles...

When I was in Catholic School back in the 1970s (yes, I'm that old) they, needless to say, taught abstinence and we had much fewer teen pregnancies than our counterparts in the Public Schools. But the teaching of abstinence by itself probably wouldn't do any good. Being a Catholic School, they were also allowed to teach a moral and religious message along with it; something that is forbidden in Public Schools.

Also, since Catholic kids tend to come from Catholic parents, there was much more parental involvement than in your average Public School families.

Abstinence works, but it must be combined with other teaching and parental involvement.

I'm sorry that my GF [and lots of other people out there] isnt as perfect as you are. Acknowledging that she might not be able to do that everyday is good enough for me, thus the shot.

Bingo.

I trust her, but not enough to put the rest of my life into her (for now). If we had a kid right now, there goes the rest of my life.

Plus, I mentioned this conversation to her the other day and she even said herself that she would hate to do that every day and if pills and condoms were the only birth control out there, we prolly wouldnt be having sex. Yup, thats how much I dont want a kid right now and Im glad that we are on the same page.

Although she is nowhere near perfect, Im happy with her.

That was the whole idea.

Catholics teaching abstinence is joke. They are also against birth control which you can see by the mexican population growing and growing. I will look for the study, but mexicans and blacks make up most of the pregnancy and STD percentage even though there are less of them in the US.

I am a Catholic so I should be ashamed of myself. But even the philippines has been struggling with teen preggos as well. Not to mention the fact that a lot of them are getting abortions in a country where it is illegal.

hey, you cant argue with the undeniable truth. numbers dont lie... even if some people choose to ignore them.

Do you have some legitimate statistics and sources to back that up, or is it just your opinion?

There is your sentence right there. Give it time and i bet she'll post it.
