  • Stop boffing your boyfriend?
  • You will not get pregnant as long as the condom does not break while you are having sex. Sometimes they break and you don't notice until the very end.
  • Condoms are not 100% effective even if they don't break. "Condoms are an effective, inexpensive form of birth control. Of 100 women whose partners use condoms inconsistently or imperfectly, 14 will become pregnant in the first year of use. Only three will become pregnant if condoms are used perfectly (Warner & Hatcher, 1998). Unlike many other forms of birth control, condoms also protect against sexually transmitted infection. Additional advantages of condoms as birth control include: low cost, easy access, simple disposal, minimal side effects, and longer-lasting sex play. Using condoms can also enhance sexual pleasure by reducing anxieties about the risk of infection and pregnancy (Warner & Hatcher, 1998)." Source: http://www.ppct.org/facts/research/condomfacts.shtml There are many methods of reasonably effective birth control, but only one is 100% effective: NOT HAVING SEX. If you are well versed in the use and effectivness of birth control methods and you are still afraid, you aren't ready for sex.
  • There are other methods of birth control. You can look into a Diaphram, IUD, female condoms, sponges, combine condoms with spermacide, etc. Just sticking to condoms and refraining from sex during certain times of your cycle will increase effectiveness. In order for this really to work, though, you need to be actually testing for ovulation. http://www.knowmycycle.com/choosing-contraceptive-method.aspx If you are fertile (physically capable of becoming pregnant), you will face a risk of pregnancy with any type of birth control method you use.
  • There is a small chance, condoms are around 98% effective, if used correctly (so don't lose too much sleep over it). The other main benefit of one is prventing most (but not all) STIs. However, other forms of contraception have an even higher success rate. The pill is up to 99.5% effective. I can understand your concern with birth control pills, there is no physcial barrier present like with a condom. But it is more effective when taken correctly. Note that it offers no protection from STIs. Other methods include coils, injections etc. Ask a doctor or go to a young persons clinic for advice. They don't judge you! Timing can help too. Women are most fertile around the middle of the menstral cycle, approximatly day 14-21. Men produce most sperm around 4 in the afternoon (I have no idea why!). This should only be used in conjunction with another method! I'm not going to rant on about how sex before marriage is wrong- it's not. But it is worth remembering that no matter what, the only way of totally preventing pregnacy is not to have sex. I don't want to disclose my personal situation, as the email address in my profile contains my name! But I will say I haven't made anything up here! Finally, remember the best, and most trustworthy advice, comes from doctors/clincs, all of whom are trained in great detail in these matters.
  • don't have sex if you can't handle the responsiblities you may be faced with as a result of it, no birth control method is 100% effective so no matter what you do there is always a chance of pregnancy and if you're not mature enough to accept the consequences of your actions maybe you should rethink them. There are preventative methods of birth control but nothing is guarenteed xcept abstinence
