vasectomy sex is protected sex

Protected is used in reference to STD’s not pregnancy, while you are often protected from pregnancy, protection is used in terms of STD/I’s where as Contraception is in reference to pregnancy

prevent the transmission of STId and/OR unwanted pregnancy. i guess it just depends on how you interpret it

also when OP was referring to protected sex the context suggests it was in reference to preventing pregnancies not STDs. but your point is still valid

Guys can get someone pregnant and can’t get an abortion or force the woman to even if they don’t want kids. Not everyone believes in abortion and I doubt most people want to be constantly getting them even if they do. Plus they’re not easily accessible for everyone depending on where you live. So different beliefs don’t change the fact it’s probably a good idea to not constantly be putting yourself in a situation where you’d have to consider one.

Tbf, if you stretch the definition of STD just a little, then kids fall under that umbrella

Fair enough, but let’s not pretend like pregnancy is extremely common, many couples struggle with it as is and in my experience it is not something thst easily happens unless trying for it

There’s a 20-25% chance of pregnancy having unprotected sex just ONE time in your fertile window. So a 75-80% failure rate but if 5 people are doing statistically one will get pregnant. So I’d imagine it’s higher if you’re doing it constantly throughout the month over the course of a year. The stats I’m seeing for a year are 75-90% which is WAY higher than even I’d expect. Weather the pregnancy holds will like vary but I definitely wouldn’t knowingly repeatedly risk it.

So yeah it’s probably gonna be lower if you don’t do it during your fertile window but when the exact window is is an estimate and varies by length as does how long sperm lives so you’d have the be EXTREMELY disciplined 100% of the time if you don’t wanna risk it, which is much harder to do esp since ovulation and the time right before is when you’re at your horniest. It’s a lot more discipline than just using protection to begin with.

It is crazy how little doctors explain what all interacts with BC pills and can cause them to be ineffective 😭

Yea I am on the pill! We tried it with it and both of us can’t seem to finish with the condom on so I’m on the pill, I recommend Junel Fe (the bc I’m on) and my fiancé still finishes inside and I have never been pregnant. I also make sure to pee after we have sex every time!

OMG IM ON JUNEL FE TOO, I’m on the Junel 1/20. I still make him pull out just bc im only on my first month and I still get a period, plus can’t risk anything bc of my parents 💔 how long have you been on it?

Or did you think I just meant condoms and wasn’t counting like birth control?

Omg when someone says “protected” I always assume condoms 😭😭 bc that protects from like everything bc pills can’t prevent STDs

Tbh I thought you just meant condoms but I’ve been on and off the pill so I have had unprotected sex and don’t care

Nah that’s fair. In the post I’m talking about pregnancy though so I meant contraception in general

I know you’re joking, but referring to children as STDs really shows where humanity is at these days. Funny nonetheless.

I stopped having sex a lil while ago back in July cuz I started working nights and I’d take my bc at night so I’d forget on days that I’m working, and I’m not tryna risk that even if they pull out 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I have trust issues lmao even with bc I get scared abt it) so I stopped having sex until I can figure out a schedule to take it that works that I’ll remember
