Did you use protection ?

Your first time ?

I used a condom my first time. I have friends who didn't . Some of my female friends said they didn't even think about using any protection their first time.

considering for my first time I was only like 17... yes, we did...

and did until we were out of high school... after that we didn't... 

shelovesfrodo

Well, since we were married and not worried about getting KU, no.

I started BC pills at 18 and am still on them. We waited until we were married to have sex for the first time. Ergo, yes.

riderpunk

No, was on the pill since I was 15.

sgautschi

Haha, no...It was very spur of the moment when we were in the first year of dating. He did pull out though almost right after we started because we knew we needed to be using something since we were both 17 at the time. After that we always used something, until recently.

Yes. I would never consider having sex without protection unless I was actively trying to get pregnant.

Excuse me?

They went ahead and had sex and were not responsible enough to use a condom? Great.

ALWAYS use a condom. I don't care if this is your first time or your 50,001th.  And it's recommened you use another method of BC with a condom. Condoms break...it happened to me, twice.:(

If you are going to fool around, you suit up for action. Everybody thinks AIDS, HIV, STDs and pregnancy happens to other people.

I had a condom break on me once. I was using a different brand(Lifestyles) which broke during the act...I remember thinking to myself "boy this brand condom really give a feeling of wetness"...When I was finished there was the broken condom hanging from Big Jim and the Twins.

We got lucky and she didn't get pregnant .

I, stupidly, did not.  I still can't believe I was such an a$$.  I was also drunk.  But the second time... the second time I was sober AND used a condom.  Dumb teenagers.

Kimbus22

I was on the pill. I didn't even think about a condom. I have no idea why.  Apparently because I was an idiot....

coffeebreak28

Absolutely, yes!

~NB~

Yes.

paigeee90

Honestly, no we don't. At the beginning of our relationship we did and the passion just took over and now we don't ever.

annieravensfan528

Nope, I was a stupid teenager.

Squishyfer

Yep. We're not ready for kids right now so we don't want to take the chance.

Absolutely yes! I wAs 17!! My boyfriend, who 7 1/2 years later is now my DH, did not need a baby! We used condoms for about a year and a half and then, because we were and had always been exclusive and because I was on birth control pills, stopped using condoms. I stopped birth control after we were engaged and then DH used to pull out. The first time he didn't pull out was our wedding night (this was on purpose) and here we are 10 months later with our 5 week old DS!

I actually didn't... the man I lost my virginity to had a vasectomy, so I had no fear of getting pregnant, and he said he was clean. I trusted him. Luckily he was... he could very well have been lying to me about his STD status and it was stupid of me to not insist on a condom. For the record I was 18, he was 42.

 My first time with my FI I used a condom, though. And we both insisted on STD tests before we stopped using condoms and I got on the Depo.

vpine

I was young, dumb and didn't use protection...glad I didn't get pregnant or a disease!

When I started dating H, we used condoms. He went in to get an STD test and when the tests came back negative, I went on the pill and after being on it for a month, we stopped the condoms (I knew I didnt have any STDs because I was a virgin when we got together)

 This. 100% 

madamsmurfette

Yes. I used protection every time until my DH and I wanted to conceive: condom from 16 - 24. Pill and condoms until I got married (with the exception of one boyfriend, just used the pill with him). Pill until we wanted to be parents.

I can't understand people who don't want kids (yet) but don't use birth control. Playing with fire. Seems idiotic.
