Unprotected sex.

I don't want to be too crude about this, but have you ever had it? Obviously it's deliberate in many cases, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who just didn't use contraception. So why did you do it, did you just forget? And who with, was it a one night stand?

Also, perhaps more importantly; to the females.. Did you take morning after pill? How easy is it to get, are there any side effects, etc? And if you didn't, why not?

Na

Wrap it up before you slap it up, innit blud


'I don't want to be too crude about this'

the thread title is UNPROTECTED SEX

in answer...no i havent had it.no sex.ever


Going bareback & pulling out> wearing a rumpingrahonjohn.

Seriously, though, i'm not a big fan. If a woman demanded i wore one i'd probably just settle for heavy petting.


pulling out is actually not 100% effective

semen can get out even before ejaculation.


oh so if she gets pregnant,

you're not bothered?


that's horrible

that's spectacularly selfish


i'm joking.


ah

it just sounds like something you would be serious about


Haha

I just find rampant irresponsibility funny in all its guises, whether vaguely misogynistic or not.


Hahahaha

POTD


I propose an ID card scheme

at the border


if you're not joking

you are spectacularly irresponsible.


well

it depends how many sexual partners you do/have had and whether you have regular tests.

but if you've had more than one. yes.


ha, not many.


But sometimes...

Irresponsiblility can be ok...


once I took the morning after pill

about 4 times in one month, i had to lie to the boots pharmacist and go to different branches


*swoon*


:D


Can you just go in and buy it then?

You don't need a presciption or anything?


no

but they ask you a few questions, about your cycle and when 'the incident' was and if you suffer from this or this and if you are taking any medication. It's £25


Boris Johnson

had to answer questions about his cycle yesterday. Is it a bit like the London Assembly?


We get it free here

because so many children keep becoming pregnant. There's at least 12 of them in year 11 at the moment.


Yeah

If you can have children now they will be seriously deformed.


I did get a bit scared that it would mash up

my insides or something, but then I said to myself 'nah, they wouldn't make it so easy to buy'


ha

I've only done this twice and it was with a boyfriend (was getting off the pill etc). The pharmacist thought I was underage and gave the morning after thingy for free.

And then I had to come back the next month and he looked quite annoyed but pretended we hadn't met before.


required 4 times?

or just super-paranoid?


It's better to be safe!

:D

Super paranoid


I had to be taken to get it by a teacher

and the same teacher held my hair back as I puked it back up again. I don't miss sex with men at all!


You're a lesbian?

You don't hide it well actually, Joe.


Ity's

pretty scary how common-place it is on the gay scene to have unprotected sex, someone I had a one night stand with one said he didn't want to use condoms because they "get in the way" - rather that get in the way then be terminally ill, thanks.

I had a couple of incidents in my teens where I didn't protect myself and I was incredibly stupid for doing so. Luckily I got tested and all was OK but no way in hell would I risk that again.


On the other hand,

condoms are completely ridiculous.


They're just completely ridiculous

It's like dressing up a cat. It's undignified.


at least dressing up a cat

makes stuff MORE fun


they are

and nobody likes using them. Unfortunately they are necessary


No they're not

'Having to wear a condom otherwise' is the most compelling argument for waiting til you're married.


I don't get it

you'd rather wait until marriage?

Of course it isn't always necessary e.g if in a long-term monogamous relationship but in casual encounters with someone of whom you don't know their history then not to is the sign of an imbecile.


Well that's the point

I'm not an imbecile, because I simply avoid casual encounters. Such is my loathing for condoms.


so in a relationship do you wait 3 months

and then get tested before having sex ie to rule out HIV?

And also I apologise for sounding like I was on a high horse before. I have had unprotected sex and I think it was imbecilic.


I simply wouldn't start a relationship

with anyone without fully inspecting their medical records.


I actually really want to do this in the future

why do you have to wait three months? Incubating diseases?

I really think it would be nice to have sex in a relationship and be totally upfront about stuff like this (or not avoid the topic, because you're scared about finding out).

Getting tested together = modern romance


the recommendations may have changed

when I used to do testing I believe it was 3 months since last having sex with someone else to make sure. 1 month actually gives very high accuracy though.


great fun

is it two months from now then? Or just under?

LOL.

No, I will definitely have it done quite soon. STD party time!


'someone else'

as oppposed to having sex with oneself


Man

"you're doing it wrong." There are so many more wonderful aspects to sex than working your spaff out. The suggestion that you wouldn't want to do it at all because of slightly reduced stimulation is.. crazy.


It's not the only reason, to be fair

I'd say the overwhelming factor is my lack of ability or desire to share any sort of intimacy with anyone again. And that's been the case for a good year or so. I'm happy muddling along sexlessly. Sincerely.


In which case

it kinda sounds like the condom thing is the, erm, least of the issues..


I don't consider any of the above

to be issues, personally. Fuck what's expected of me. I'm my own man.


I completely agree

I don't get why it is often considered weird to not be sexually active.


at least in the sense of waiting until

someone comes along who you actually really want to boff


I'm fine with not being sexually active -

God KNOWS I'm fine with not being sexually active - but I find the idea of avoiding it because you don't like the condom aspect of it a bit creepy.. Of course, Pigfoot has said since that this isn't the case, so my accusation of creepiness is rescinded.

And if it's a waiting thing, then that's positivelt positive.


boring


A moot point, when lives are being saved

LIKE A COWS OPINION.


i love the fact that you

interrupt threads like this with lolz


...

but, hey, at least you're swimming


i'm nearly there

keep going


no lies

i met an australian guy at leeds fest last year and his middle name was danger
'crhis danger clarke' i think his name was.we didnt believe him but then he got his driving licence out
:D


Sheer brilliance.

I love his parents sense of humour.


another pedantic bastard!

hands are too fast for my brain!


Yes

ALWAYS take the morning after pill, there's nowhere in the UK that you could be meaning you couldn't get it within 72 hours.

Family planning clinic, the doctors, or over the counter. Without a prescription it will cost you £30.

IT REALLY FUCKS YOUR BODY UP. I wouldn't recommend unless in a complete emergency. It comes with a 50 page booklet telling you how to use it/how bad it is for you.

Why not just use the contraceptive pill instead?
