Condom Use Challenges: Tips for Comfortable Sex

Question
I am 17 and sexually active with my boyfriend. He has only ever had any sexual content with me and he is my first sexual partner. I only see him approximately once every 6 weeks as he lives 3 hours away. I wasn't sure that going on the pill would be the best idea as i don't want to pump chemicals into my body if they are only being used once in 6 weeks. He is staying in my house in 3 weeks for a week. We are struggling to have sex using condoms so could you give me some suggestions please? Thanks

Answer
Ellie,

Please consider refraining from sex at this time. Why not wait until marriage? I think you are wise to be concerned about pumping the hormones into your body with the pill. Unfortunately, condoms are not very reliable in preventing pregnancy. I don't know the exact statistics but I have heard many stories of pregnancy occurring using condoms. So I really can't recommend that you use this birth control method. Please email me at DWooley97@aol.com if you would like to talk more.
Would love to hear from you.
