I.... couldn't vote. My husband and I are fluid bound. That means we have ready and free access to each other's bodily fluids (we don't use condoms) and have no reasons to "protect" our bodies from each other's fluids.

As for "accepting additions." Not anymore. We're done having children we have three children. My Man is in his 50s and I have had 5 high risk pregnancies, lost two pregnancies and feel it would be unhealthy for me to have any more. Plus, in this economy, we can't afford anymore. Plus, I've started premature peri-menopause, so I don't know the state of my eggs. I'm just glad I had the kids when I did, before I lost the ability to somewhat safely bear them.

We're monogamous and have no reason to "protect" each other from our fluids. We use withdrawal to prevent pregnancy. It has worked well for us.

I've only ever used condoms, and I use one EVERY time.

There have been a couple of occassions where I missed birth control pills and forgot to use a condom as backup. Luckily I didn't get pregnant. I have never taken any risks when it comes to STD protection.

i don't think there's an option to vote here that's appropriate for me personally... but i've been pretty strict about condoms on new partners until we've known eachother for a while... i get tested every once and again..

i've really not been very careful. at all. withdrawal method, condoms with new people... it's been on my side so far! not that i recommend that!

but 9 years and 45 partners later...

never been pregnant. never had an STD.


so i must be doing SOMETHING right...


right?




that or the sex gods are smiling on me with all their might.

We use condoms for birth control, STD isn't something we have to worry about.

I couldn't vote because penises are not involved in my sex life... you know there are barriers besides condoms?

I have had unprotected sex...which resulted in three beautiful children. We have used a condom (Arch and I, Sigel had a vasectomy after our second child) because we don't want anymore children and we are AMAZINGLY fertile. I tried the pill but it messed up my body chemistry so badly I had a recurring bout of BV for MONTHS after I stopped taking it. This was from a supposedly low dose type pill! Since my body has recovered it's equilibrium I suddenly have no BV even if we have unprotected sex.
I have never had an STD and I am tested regularly (every 6 months).

I have used condoms or W/D since I've been sexually active.. more often W/D because I've always been monogamous and have been with older men who knew how to do W/D properly. I've only gotten pregnant once, so I consider it a very effective method. Never had any STD's because as I said I've always been in monogamous relationships.

We're both clean and there's no risk of pregnancy so we don't use any.
