See this is pretty hard to answer. Statistically, and potency wise, problem the IUD or removing the reproductive organs so fertilization isn’t possible. When it comes down to preference, it’s a very individual choice. If I’m just hooking up with a random girl, of course I’ll use a condom. It’ll make an std more likely, and it’s a guarantee to make it much less likely she’ll get pregnant. Females lie about being on pills and shit so why risk it? But if she’s a long time girlfriend and I want to rawdog it, I hope she’s at least on pills.

I have asked this question before about birth control use when the abortion thing was a big g deal there for a while.
Most of the answers I received said "Birth control doesn't work!".
I, on the other hand promote doubling up on birth control. Like maybe the pill and a condom.
It's hard to please this crowd when it comes to suggestions of using birth control at all. People seem to be down on it.
Personally, I think birth control doesn't get used us because the people just want the sex! They don't want to deal with preparing for preventing a pregnancy. In fact, I was under the impression from some of the answers I received is that if they get pregnant, they'll just get an abortion. So, basically they'd rather use abortion than to use some type of birth control.
This begs the question: Is birth control too hard to get and that is why there are so many unplanned pregnancies?
There defense was, it doesn't work no matter what they have tried using. But is this really true?
As far as the pill, they don't want to put hormones in their body everyday.
🤷🏼‍♀️

The one that's right for your personal circumstances. These things undergo intensive testing for reliability so need to not use any.
Let's be honest most contraception failures are down to the woman sabotaging it to trap a guy.

I'm honestly scared of getting cancer from the pill-someone convinced me to go off of it years ago she has cancer blamed it on the pill, and at the time it made sense.

For different living situations different contraceptives can be more or less usefull. Also for some hormonal birth controle is not an option for some People.
I have a non-hormonal IUD and found it to be a great choice for us.

Other. A BC implant is best. Fit and forget for 3 years. Put in non dominant arm under locat anaesthetic. Only down side is the 4th one has to go in your dominant arm, so you need locals in both arms to remove the old one and insert the new one. I have had Nexplanon for 11 years now without trouble.

Celibacy  after that, vasectomy or tubal ligation  combo of birth control pills (her) and condom (him)=double protection

DizzyDesii · Answer

Celibacy. If i have sex with someone then I’m not afraid of getting pregnant. Once im in my 30s then I’ll likely get my tubes tied

TheorionMage · Answer

ANYTHING which ABSOLUTELY blocks the fusion of a male sperm with female ovum. Period. ... THAT simple!
Parthenogenesis (VIRGIN birth) is exceedingly RARE, but has actual witnessed scientific precedent OUTSIDE of religious belief BUT, ALWAYS results in ONLY female progeny (NO male chromosome!)

But boring.

SnowedIn · Answer

Best? Abstinence. Otherwise: IUD and vasectomy and tube tying are all fantastic.

melanieeeB · Answer

I don't think there is a best, whatever fits perfectly for the individuals

NathanDavis · Answer

it will be the one you decide on after consulting with professionals and also considering your personal circumstances...

for example, condoms can be allergic to many people so, as much as they can help to most people, personally they will be of no help to you when you're allergic or, very sensitive to latex

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

You know the real answer. You just don’t like it.

BCRanger10 · Answer

Abstinence.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Vesectomy/tube tying or just not doing it.

mrmonogamous · Answer

Condoms are the only one that is a contraceptive and protects against diseases. It is by far the safest of the methods listed.  After my wife and I had our three kids I opted for a vasectomy.
