I went with "other."

Before I was on birth control, my boyfriend and I always used condoms. Neither of us were willing to have penetrative sex without a condom.

After I started birth control, we tried going condomless for a while; however, I was still paranoid about becoming pregnant. We use condoms every time he comes in me. Once in a blue moon we'll skip condoms during penetrative sex and he'll come on my body or in my mouth instead.

I think condoms are sexy. I can relax more because I know I don't have to worry about pregnancy. We're a monogamous couple and both STD negative, but I still appreciate the safer sex benefits of condoms. There's no way I would have sex without a condom with a person whose STD I didn't know. I'm way too paranoid.

She: We used condoms every time when we were still dating. We'd wait until he got close though because I was on the pill too. Now that we're married, we figure we'll take our chances with the pill alone.

with my SO, never. She is on the pill and I am fixed and we test clean every 3-6 months. Since we are in an open relationship, we always use condoms with others to remain clean.

For sex: 99% of the time.
Sometimes I even use them for toys and maturbation.

No glove, no love sounds right!

If the guy cares enough to want to have sex with me, but not enough to wrap his dong up, then he doesn't care enough and he can go give some other girl AIDS or get her pregnant. I'll have none of it.

My current partner (3 years) and I do not want children, so... always a condom!

When with my regular partner, never (we use the pull out method). When with other people, always.

We've been together a while and our use of condoms has gradually dimished (I am on birth control tho). I just wanted to mention that I have two roommates, neither one using any sort of BC at all (pill, condoms, etc.), and they are BOTH pregnant now. So if it doesn't worry you too much (as long as it doesn't worry him and you're in a good situation in your life) then I suppose it doesn't matter but eventually it WILL happen if you're not safe

My Man and I have been together for more than 20 years, we are fluid bonded and I am allergic to latex. No, we don't use condoms. We used to occasionally use Magnums, but I developed a latex allergy, and he hated them anyway. Regular size condoms break, and they don't really make large condoms in non-latex materials that I can find.

A few months ago, he suddenly asked, in the middle of sex, if we had any "old condoms lying around. I want to come somewhere warm and wet." We didn't. We usually use withdrawal or he'll come during a blow job or anal sex. I went on a search for non-latex large condoms, but really couldn't find any that didn't have a high breakage rate.

So, no, we don't use them.

Im paranoid. I always use condoms, even when Im on birth control.

My partners are always clean (I have only been with three men, two of them were virgins before me)

But I'm super paranoid about getting pregnant, so I'll always use one till Im married/ready to have kids

Always with flings and at the beginning of relationships. After we've been together a while and have both been tested then its not necessary.

My fiancee and I wear condoms often, but she's on the pill so sometimes we don't bother.

Never. I'm in a monogamous long term relationship and on birth control pills.

I'm on the ring but prefer to use condoms since I don't like the mess.

Always, every single time. Oral, anal, vaginal... no glove, no love.

The only exception is when we're using toys... and I'm sure they have been sterilized properly and we're not sharing them.

I have the Breast Cancer Gene, meaning the possibility of me getting breast cancer is higher then others. Because the hormones in most birth control pills increase your risk as well, I opt to not take the pills and use condoms EVERY TIME. However I hope to get an IUD soon, so that I don't have to use condoms anymore. I'm in a monogomous relationship, so not wanting to get pregnent is the only thing motivating me to use condoms.

Rarely. I pretty much only use condoms if I'm using a vaginal toy anally and don't want to be bothered with sterilizing it later. My man and I haven't used a condom in quite a while, I'm on birth control and we both much prefer the skin-to-skin feeling

I hadn't used condoms in years (back when my husband and I first got together) until about two weeks ago. We decided to try using condoms occasionally when we want to keep clean up to a minimum.

For finishing, always. Never have I not.

To me its not about catching anything. My partner and I are clean; that doesn't matter. It's also not about pregnancy. I'm also on birth control. I'm simply saving it for marriage. ... more
what? i've never heard of anyone saving that for marriage. nice choice though, to each their own. Make yourself proud of yourself, and thats all that matters!

Always. I am on birth control and he doesn't like them, but I'm paranoid. Plus, I'm grossed out by the idea of semen in me. Blergh.

I've only had sex with my boyfriend and we never use condoms. He pulls out (which, I know, isn't the safest method) but I'm trying to get on birth control (it's a matter of money).
