    Hi All,

    I'd love some advice/opinions on this...Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread...

    I'm female, late 20's, with my OH for 6 years ish. We have an ok sex life at the moment - we use condoms. I was on different pills for years, didnt like them as had different side effects and never found one I was truely happy with so we stuck to condoms, which I was happy enough with until recently.

    Lately I have started feeling like condoms are killing the mood now when we have sex, like its such a pain to have to stop everything and get a condom...does anyone else just use condoms and how do they find them? I have been thinking of changing contraception type but not sure if I'd fully trust any other method (which I know is stupid since no method is 100% effective!!). I could be taken to have a slightly irrational fear of getting pregnant...so when I was on the pill last time, we continued to use condoms...I suppose I'm asking would anyone have any advice/opinions on this?

    Try to talk to your doctor for alternative types of contraception.
    The pill is not the only choice. When I went to my doctor last time he gave me an A4 sheet with all sorts of options you could try based on your previous experience. ;)

    Jup1ter said it all really. Since you've been together for 6 years I'll assume you have no STI worries, just pregnancy. There are a lot of options other than condoms or the pill, go to your GP and talk about it. Maybe have a look online so that when you go you have a general idea of what you'd be interested in. Ask lots of questions, try to focus on finding something you're comfortable with, and I'm sure your GP will have lots of information.

    When he's not looking, put the unrolled condom in your mouth.

    Hide it in the side of your mouth.

    Without him realizing what your doing, put it on using your mouth.

    Sex with condoms becomes a lot more fun.
