I feel too cautious to have sex cause I don't want to get pregnant?

I read everything about condoms/birth control and all sort of methods, nothing is 100% , I'm with a nice guy and he wants to have sex but I'm too scared of pregnancy...

I'm 31 I want to live my life and enjoy sex...

  • Well, if it is any consolation, you are now in an age bracket where it will get progressively harder for that to happen. You aren't a teenage girl anymore. And if you take the customary precautions, you are fine.

    However, is motherhood something you might want to do in the future? You are approaching the "do or die" (or your eggs die) age for that. This varies from woman to woman, and I am NOT saying that you must or should if you definitely do not want to do that, but do be aware that if you still do, your biological "clock" is approaching midnight, so to speak.

    • At what age does your biological clock starts ticking? I'm gonna be 32 in September

    • It varies from woman to woman, but generally 30 forward. Now some women have perfectly healthy babies into 40s, but others in their 30s miscarry all the time, and all have a higher risk of Down's Syndrome, Autism or other shortcomings. Not to be doomy and gloomy, and the reality is that today it is MUCH harder to start families, financially, commitment, and otherwise, than it was for our parent's generations. Anyway, you are getting into that "do or die" age soon, if you are not there already.

  • Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unless you have a religious issue with it you can always get an abortion if something happens. And there are some really good birth control methods out there. I say check with your doctor, find something reliable, and enjoy yourself if that's what you want to do.

  • Your being smart really! Those odds are still not 100! Both my cousins did have protections and they both got knocked up and the guy ran!

    Enjoy self care or try having lesbian sex like I enjoy! Really not worth the effort just to have a surprise baby

  • a lot of people complained about this but give them blowjobs... at 1st they complain but very quickly they begin to like them and welcome... i'm just like you i don't want to get pregnant until i'm married and i'm pushing it at 37... i don't believe in abortions as i'm catholic... plus i find blowjobs very satisfying to give them.

  • good wait until after wedding.

  • Get your tubes tied.

  • Consider going on the pill and using a condom.

  • Get your tubes tied.

  • It is your body and your choice. You are right nothing is 100%. Maybe try a combo of birth control (pills, IUD) AND use condoms? Have you fooled around with him otherwise like giving each other oral or giving him a handjob? Guys love them and you won't get pregnant!

  • If you do not abstain, unless one of you is completely sterile there is always a risk.

  • Talk to you doctor about your options if you don't trust using just a condom

  • Even having sex while intending to get pregnant, pregnancy isn't likely

  • So what's your question

  • Get with a guy who had a vasectomy

    • she already has a boyfriend she's looking for a way to have sex without getting pregnant... i say oral sex is the way to go.

  • Take it in ur ass

  • 1. Use two different forms of contraception.

    2. Study the statistics carefully. They usually include all women using a particular method, and that includes many women who do not use their birth control correctly or consistently.

    3. Consider sexual behaviors other than PIV. Try oral sex, 69, hand jobs, anal sex, or mutual masturbation.
