Ok so if you have sex in water.. like in the shower, bath, swimming pool etc and used a condom would that really work?
I'm just curious!
Also I am on birth control, have been for about 7 months, if I take it everyday roughly around the same time (give or take an hour or two) are you still able to get pregnant if you don't use a condom?
See my boyfriend and I were home alone the other night and we had no condoms left.. we were going to have sex but we spoke about it and decided to play around because i'm still a little scared about getting pregnant.
We were both totally ok with it!
19/f by the way and my boyfriend and I have been together for 2 and a half years so we would like to start and have unprotected sex.
The person who said it's a 'one in a million' chance should get their facts straight. It's actually a 5-8/100 chance that you'll get pregnant while using the birth control pill. That is, if you use it perfectly, which isn't usually the case. You could get sick, it might not digest properly... so it's not as effective as you may think.
There are more effective types of birth control. I personally use Depo Provera, which is the injection. You get it every 3 months, and it offers foolproof protection, because it's not like you can make mistakes. It offers a slightly smaller risk; 3/100 women using it will get pregnant in a given year. IUDs are also extremely effective; fewer than a 1/100 chance that you'll get pregnant.
I'm in sort of the same situation that you're in. Same age, long-term relationship, etc. I understand that it really sucks to use condoms, but if you use them in conjunction with other birth control methods, it's safer. I wasn't using them for a while, but had a big wake-up call when one of my friends got pregnant (she was on the Pill) and had to have an abortion.
So, until you're ready to deal with the possibility of a pregnancy, I'd suggest that you wrap up! If you really really want to have unprotected sex (as we all do sometimes) and you are on a fairly reliable birth control method, just put on a condom before he's 'ready'.

Often people are not completely aware or their partner's history and many people feel uncomfortable "telling all," so much is omitted. You may have less risk than some, but even a little risk could be serious. Many relationships end because one partner sleeps with someone else who they leave you for or they have one-nighters and try to hide them. Then you would be getting all the potential diseases the other person might be carrying through your "safe" partner. I hope this is never the case with you and he, but life is so not perfect. There are other reasons for the man to wear a condom including pro-longing his erection and putting of climax if you want his to last longer. Condoms can be fun and come in a variety of colors, glo in the dark, textures, and some thinner varieties if he wants more feeling. Plus, they make a great addition to any other birth control you are on, for really annilating the chance of unwanted pregnancy. I wish you the best.

You can get pregnant while on birth control, but it's very unlikely.
