Cromp, like I said earlier, for us it had *nothing* to do with fear of STD's/trust and everything to do with not wanting to get pregnant (and my not wanting to get an abortion, and also ktsp not wanting one, after we had been together for a while and we would have wanted the kid, if it had been conceived--but not been ready for it). We wanted to make sure that we would be 100% ready to support a kid, and 99% sure that the kid would be planned/very much wanted. (Which is why we are now comfortable with trusting the 99% effectiveness of the NuvaRing--but even less than 1% was too much, before.) I do not like surprises of any kind, especially with regards to my body and a crying little being that is going to significantly affect the rest of my life. We saw pregnancy as being worse than an STD, at the time!
