me and my girlfriend are planning to have sex for the first time. we kinda both want it to be unprotected. she is planning to go on birth control pills but we dont know anything about them. here are some questions.
does she have to take them months before, days , or weeks before having sex?
do they have to be prescribed or can they be found in any pharmacy?
what are the negative effects.?
(is there a lubricant or jelly that kills sperm?)
thanks

i'd say at least a few cycles for it to even out and be confident that it's working. (a few months). they need to be obtained through a perscription.

call me old fashioned, but these are pretty basic questions and if you and your girlfriend don't know some of these things it makes me wonder about your age a little bit. but i guess it's good that you're trying to be careful.

stay safe!

well im 18. we are trying to be very careful because we are not ready for a kid. but if it happens we will be responsible. anyways, are there any side effects to the pill?

You answered your question right there, if you are not ready to be a parent you are not ready to have sex. Even if she is on the pill it is not 100%. And you both want to be UNPROTECTED? Meaning no condom? Were both of you tested for AIDS or other STD's before? The pill DOES NOT protect against STD's.

we are both virgins and feel ready to make love. we are aware of the consequenses, thats why she wants to go on birth control. but we are thiniking about it and feel like its better to use a condom. the thing is that we dont want to use a condom because we want to lose our virginities natually, you get me? feel all the pleasure , i dont know its a thing that we both have.
