ehh im worried


Question Posted Monday April 3 2006, 11:10 pm

okay well this is the deal.
im ready to have sex i know i am. im with a boy right now and we've decided that were going to do it. im just really nervous cuz im not on birth control and im scared something is like going to happen to the condom, like rip. i told him that i was nervous and asked him that whenever he felt like he was going to bust he would take it out and then put it back it when he stopped ..
is that a god idea and if your not on birth control and you use a condom is it most likely you can get pregnant or is like 1 in every 500 people?

please comment back asap !! thank you !!

Hi

I got pregnant with my daughter when I thought I would be "safe". The guy I was with said the condom broke, and he "pulled out" before he came. I still got pregnant.

Be careful, and know that the only way to not get pregnant is not to have sex. If you do, then you have to take precautions. Have you considered going on the pill? If you were on the pill and using a condem then you could feel pretty assured that you would be safe. The chances of getting pregnant when unprotected are high,....it only takes one time.

And most important...make sure you're ready for the step you are about to take. Take care.

Brenda

The male condom, if used properly, is 98% effective. This means that out of a 100 women who are using the condon correctly, two will get pregnant. The package of condoms should come with very clear instructions - make sure both you and your boyfriend read & understand them.

Having your boyfriend pull out before he comes can lessen the chances of being exposed to a lot of sperm, but even precum holds 80,000 sperm - more than enough to get you pregnant. If your boyfriend decides to pull out, make sure he hangs onto the condom. Also, he should NOT put it back in you, as the condom will be full of semen.

If you feel this uncomfortable about not being on birth control, this anxiety might make sex less enjoyable. Why not contact your local health services for younger people and make an appointment - birth control could be offered free or very cheap, depending on your age and ability to pay money.

Best of luck.

If you are not mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with sex (like the possibility of becoming pregnant), then you are not ready for sex.

i've read in a couple of magazines that condoms are about 97% effective IF and ONLY IF they are used correctly!! so of course there is a little chance that you could get pregnant even when you use one... but that's just a responsibility that comes along with having sex! if you're not ready to face something like a pregnancy and its consequences, then you are not ready to have sex! And there's nothing wrong with that, you have plenty of time... not to mention that sex doesn't even feel good when you are constantly paranoid and all you're thinking about is getting pregnant! don't let any guy pressure you... when you are ready, you will know and you won't have ANY doubts!

If you feel you are ready for sex, then why do you ask this question?

As said before by the wonderful columnist before me.

"if you don't know this then you are not ready for sex"

I concur with them on this and you get a second opinion on the matter. Despite your feeling of readiness, you are still nervous and uninformed. If used properly, a condom will not break, there is a (correct me if I am wrong) 99% chance if used correctly, it will not break. But that is of course, if it is used correctly.

And the only reason I know the percentage, is because that is from a sizeable chunk of questions asked at this site.

Rethink if you are really ready and find out first how to properly use one and you will be fine.

I hope I helped.

Sex is risky, it just is. You need to accept those risks are always there if you want to have sex.

Yanked from [Link](Mouse over link to see full location):
"The breakage rate for condoms is two out of 100. Of every 100 couples who use condoms incorrectly and inconsistently, 14 will experience a pregnancy during the first year of use. Of every 100 couples who use condoms correctly and consistently, only three will experience a pregnancy."

So there you go, those are the numbers. Now the questions are, is that risk acceptable to you and do you know how to use a condom properly?

Notso answered Monday April 3 2006, 11:25 pm:
you have to wear the condom for the entire duration of sex. Or else it doesn't work because of precum.

Used properly I believe the condom is something like 98ish% effective.
