I was just curious, I'm on the pill and was wondering if it is alright for my partner to ejaculate inside of me without the risk of becoming pregnant or should condoms be used or the pull out method?

BCP are 99 or 99.9% effective when used perfectly (depends on where you read the statistics). For many (I'd guess MOST!) couples using the pill, this is good enough odds to choose to have sex with no further protection. I know when I first went on the pill that was one of the big plusses, no more condoms!!! Withdrawl is a pretty ineffective 'method' anyway.

My opinion is that you & your partner should be able to enjoy unsheathed sex together, to its completion, but you have to decide for yourselves what you are comfortable with.

The Pill stops you from ovulating so you can't get pregnate at all. Doctors suggest you use the condoms for STDs, plus they will lower the chances of you getting pregnate. the pill by its self is 99% effective when taken at the same time, and with condoms you're basically set.

as long as you are both std free a condom is unnessecarry but if you are the type who occasionally may forget then they are good protection as if you have unprotected sex the day before you miss the pill the sperm are still alive, however if you are confident in your reproductive heath and in your ability to remeber than you can relax and enjoy worry free sex (well as worry free as it comes)
