Question Posted Saturday December 30 2006, 12:22 pm
Me and my girlfriend have been sleeping together for a while, except recently I've been worrying myself to pieces. Even when we use a condom and it hasnt split or slipped for weeks later I'll be stressing out because I get paranoid she could become pregnant.
Recently Ive been avoiding sex and she's starting to notice I don't know how it'll affect our relationship. I don't want to be this paranoid about sex for the rest of my life either I just can't stop worrying! I don't know what to do?

Have you tried talking to her about what you said here? It would allow her to better understand why you're avoiding sex, and prevent her from thinking that you're bored of her or don't like her or whatever else might go through her head. If you use a condom and spermicide, you're fairly safe. If she's on the pill or another form of hormonal birth control, and you combine those with a condom and spermicide, you'll be even better off.
One other thing--unlike what was said below, never use two condoms together. The friction between them can erode both condoms, and it can sometimes make them easier to slip off. Not a good idea. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]

all you really can do is talk to her & let her know how scared you are.
& when you guys do have sex, just be prepared. make sure she's not fertile when you do have sex, so it'll lower chances.
always use a condom & if you have to, double up. layer two of them.

but there wouldnt be any stress for either of you, if she could handle being a mom.
They say you are ready to have sex, if you can handle being a mom. As for you, it'd be can you handle being a dad right now? [ DefinedEyes's advice column | Ask DefinedEyes A Question ]
