Arguing About Birth Control



You are in the heat of the moment. Your hormones are raging. You want it badly. So does your partner.

You whisper, “Do you have protection,” and your partner lovingly tells you how it will be fine without out it. After all, it’s only once.
Unfortunately, once is all it takes to become pregnant or to catch a venereal disease. There is no reason to take any chances with your future or the future of your partner. So how do you go about convincing them that protection is a must, Below are some phrases that may be helpful to you in solving this problem.

You partner says, “I can’t feel it as well with a condom on.” You say, “You aren’t going to feel it at all without a condom on.”

Your partner says, “I take the pill so we don’t need to use anything else.” You say, “I choose to use a condom. Why not use them both,”
Your partner says, “I’ll die if I don’t do it.” You say, “My life as I know it will be over if I don’t use protection.”

Your partner says, “I don’t use a condom when I have sex.” You say, “Then what would you like to do instead of having sex,”

Sexual acts should not be completed if either partner is uncomfortable about it in any way. If one partner does not respect the wishes of the other one, then the act should not be completed.
