Especially for those married in ema's with MMs. If so, who supplies them, you or MM?

MM provides them. Wish we didn't have to use them, but H has been snipped, so I can't very well start using anything. Besides, I have had very bad side effects while on the pill.

Would LOVE to not have to use them with him.

MM and I definitely use condoms... and I always supply them. I forgot to bring some once, and we were already at the hotel... I made his butt leave and get some before we did anything!

however, even condoms aren't 100% safe.. I did get pregnant with him this summer. he was wearing one, but it slipped off. but now we make sure to use condoms w/spermicide, and I now religiously take my birth control pill, every day. we've already had to learn a tough lesson.

The Ortho Evra patch is good, I've been using it for 5 months now, just once a week for three weeks and skip the fourth week. Just a suggestion if you're only worried about the pregnancy.

Hi luvin,


We always used them when we first met... protection against everything really... I wasn't on the pill at the time so needed them to avoid pregnancy too.


Over the years... I guess we've become comfortable with each other and there are times that we have gone without.


Mostly these days because MM's wife is not on the pill and he will not get snipped... they use condoms as there protection and MM tends to use them because he's just used to it.

MY MM and I share the responsibilty of supplying them, my H has had a vasectomy, so we use condoms. I have been considering getting the depo shots.

Ditto. No pills here either, I hate the side effect while on them.

Actually we don't use any protection at all. Neither one of us. We've talked at great length abouth this and we both agree whatever happens. Justhappens.

When MM and I are together we don't use anything. He had a V, I had my tubes tied years ago. So no risk of that. Plus we are both in longtime monogamous relationships (except for each other) so we are not worried about catching anything either. I think he trusts me about that as I trust him too.

MM and I dont use anything, I had my tubes tied after my second child. I've never been with anyone except H, and MM. H was married before, and I know MM had been with a few other women before he married, but that was many years ago, you know MM and I never even talked about it, and thats strange for us. Even though I know I dont want any more children, it would have been so nice to have had mine with MM, he is an amazing father, unlike my H who never spends anytime with our children.
