(17,863 posts)and my wife is the only woman that I have ever been with. Women relying on men to use condoms to avoid pregnancy is simply insane. At the best you have a failure rate related to condoms (my wife has taken morning after pills twice because of this). This is with me having the best intentions (slippage and breakage do happen). One reason I have a vasectomy scheduled for this month (should have done it sooner but my wife has resisted it and frankly I am something of a coward when it comes to surgery).
At my age it would be unconscionable to bring a child into the world.
When you consider STDs as well (a heck of a lot easier to get than pregnant) then I think any woman trusting an unknown partner is insane (see above plus intentional removal of the condom during sex). Obviously same applies to the man, but controlling what happens to the condom is a lot more controllable by the man.
Also a final word use named brand condoms (the one that begins with a T). Our scariest incident was with a non-named brand condom.
