I was deathly afraid of getting someone pregnant and would always discuss what form the woman was using if any, should I take responsibility, etc. I would also discuss what we would do if she did get pregnant. Two long romances with woman using IUD's has spoiled me, not that I ever liked condoms, but I have not used them in ages and have on occasion proceeded without protection. Lets face it passion will, until the end of time, occasionally supercede good sense. Of course now as I get older with no kids I wonder if maybe a few accidental pregnancies along the way might not have turned out for the better. Lastly there is one form of birth control not mentioned in our effectiveness discussions. It is as near to 100 percent effective as you can get. It was first pointed out to me by a friend from Senegal. It seems his wife had 6 abortions, before they decided to have kids. seismo!tiberio
