I wasn't entirely sure where to post this thread, so I figured this was a good place to start.
I would like to open up a discussion about how to prevent a potential unintended pregnancy without a male, me, having to use condoms. I just can't get them to work for me at all, they are very uncomfortable and/or I don't feel a thing.....which to me renders the act of sex with them on totally pointless. I'm asking this out of a desire to prevent a pregnancy in a monogamous relationship, so I'm not overly worried about acquiring an STD.
I used to have this idea that I'd have my sperm stored in a cryo bank and then get a vasectomy, purely for the reason of preventing an accidental pregnancy but also wanting to eventually reproduce. However, after tallying up the long term financial costs, including the artificial insemination of my banked sperm, I figured that this was not worth it for me. Also, I had read up on some potential long term discomfort in that area during sex/ejaculation, which further strengthened my opinion against this option.
Of course I am familiar with birth control pills, but I've also had this opinion, based on observations and scientific data, that these can possibly be unhealthy for a woman. I may be a bit outdated on this, and if I am please feel free to inform me, but I want my female partner to be healthy and not have any possible long term complications from artificial hormonal use.
I'm also familiar with IUDs and this seems like a possible better alternative, due to the smaller dosage of hormones that her body would be exposed to.
Any input or opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks
