Is your husband/companion's taking care of the contraception not an option?

He refuses to get snipped
Am I the only one to have noticed how men, generally, do not want to take the responsibility of contraception? I asked, and no one wanted...
By the way, I do not use any contraception anymore, from 5 years, we do as we can without it... without any trouble.

Then maybe condoms could be a solution? I'm just saying this because 'male contraception' is generally less invasive and potentially less dangerous than female contraception.
I can understand how nervous one must get when thinking about being operated on in this sensitive area. But from what I read from some male members on this forum, it's no big deal and they never looked back. If you haven't already read them, maybe these two threads might help:

Some are more willing than others. Maybe it stems from a (deliberate?) lack of information ? Female contraception is discussed widely - although not always accurately - in women's magazines, in the general press, at the ob-gyn, with girlfriends and with sisters, mothers, etc. When do men get to discuss these things?
Mrs.Tigersoap said:
I guess some men are more willing than others and I am not surprised that some of them can be found here... You know, as these men who disguised as women to be able to "put itself in their place", as the wizards about whom speaks Castaneda...
It is only that in my life, I ever known only one who wanted to talk about this or wanted to try something else which would have made them inclined to envisage a male solution. But when I decided to stop any form of female contraception five years ago, my husband answered to me he was ready to use the condoms solution. We decided together that it could be the best alternative for both of us. For the first time of my life, I had a a comprehensive ear about this subject.

Helle, I only can share my own experience and condoms were the best solution for us, and it works. The thing most important is to talk about it together, explore possibilities and take a decision together. I wish you will find the better solution for both of you.

Good solution Laura, and surely fun for Helle! I would try it if I had to!

Yes! Refusal of condom as a deal breaker!Helle, I think it is worth insisting with him, since it does not make such a difference for him and it will make a world of difference for your health!! Surely he cannot remain deaf to that, can he? :)

It absolutely could, and will be the solution. - And he's going to get used to it! (and me too...)
But I have to admit, that I don't really like condoms... for a lot of reasons. The biggest issue being, that I had a condom breaking twice! I guess pregnancy is still very rare even in that extreme case.
Maybe down the road, he'll change his mind, and get that vasectomy ;)
My husband loves me very much, but he doesn't see anything wrong with the synthetically hormone in Mirena IUD. He doesn't see a problem with gluten either, soo..
He does accept and respect, however I wish to eat and live though.. He just thinks I'm a littlebit wacko :/
Thanks all for the wonderful support. That helped me make the decision today, to make a doctorcsappointment!

That's great Helle! :)
Helle said:
Oh my! So far, it never happened to us but I would be very nervous indeed!
Hellle said:
It's great that he respects your opinions. And you his. Hopefully, you two will be able to share a little more as time goes by... but easy does it. In my experience, it's often best to show by example. An improved health, a calmer behaviour, etc. are things that he might notice and start inquiring about...(or not).
Take care.

Helle, Mrs Tigersoap and you gave me a lesson of compassion in this thread (I have to work on this - between elses - after having set up a wall around me), so it is one for all, and all for one... ;)

Guess it's my underlying fear coming through in my dreams
May I suggest you to show this:

Actually, I looked at it with a lot of interest, and we showed it in family, and without know why exactly, your previous comment reminds me this documentary... But you maybe already know it... ;)
