Before my current girlfriend I wore a condom every time. It just wasn't worth the risk in my mind.
When this one and I first had sex,we went a little wild. I ran out of condoms. I told her that I was out but that I trusted her, she said that she thought I was being silly because she was on birth control anyway. We haven't used one since.
The feeling is so much better without a condom and being with a girl I trust means I don't need one. She's definitely not the type to forget to take the pill and we keep condoms for situations where there might be added risk, for example if she's on antibiotics.
8 out of 100 couples using the pill get pregnant within a year. Most of that can be attributed to a missed pill and the rest is due to antibiotics or some other medication interfering. I trust my girlfriend completely but I did the homework anyway for my own peace of mind and it seems like if a girl gets pregnant on the pill, she's made a mistake. Or at least, that's the consensus I get.
It helps me too knowing that I plan on marrying this girl and we will be having children some day. If she were to get pregnant now, it'd be a blow but we could handle it.
