I started dating my first boyfriend about 9 months ago and we’ve been sexually active for six of those months. We usually use a condom and he pulls out but the other day we didn’t use one but he didn’t finish and said he didn’t feel like anything came out because I was getting nervous about not using the condom (even though it was my idea 🙄🙄)

We started the discussion of me going on birth control, but I have precautions of what it does to hormone levels as well as having to pay pretty much an extra bill every month. I’m too scared to even try, but I know it would be a lot safer in the long run Incase a situation like what happened the other day happens again.

Is birth control really that bad or does it make life easier?
