Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me over for an "important chat". This chat consisted of him not only insisting that we have sex whenever he feels like it, but demanding that I take birth control pills, because making him wear a condom is "sexist and degrading." FML

Isn't that technically sexual harassment? Regardless, tell him you're not his sex toy. Hope things get better

Because you know, birth control also protects against STDs.

Your the one with the ****** OP, you make the rules. Good job. *snaps for OP*

She even managed to say it worse than the first time! You should get an award, Meowingtons. |the kid|

Actually, taking birth control would have been a wise choice if you are sexually active. It's good to have a sort of back up plan like that just incase the condom fails.

This is true, however, hormonal birth control isn't for everyone. Some women react badly to the pill, resulting in depression, mood swings, and loss of libido. I would say absolutely not to that kind of demand.

Well in that case, OP has every right to not have taken the pill if it involves those kind of risks.

Technically the OP has the right not to take the pill anyway. It's a choice, and let's face it, some people wouldn't be comfortable (for whatever reason) taking hormonal drugs even if the risks were very, very low. But I agree with pretty much what's been said on this thread regardless, just pointing that out.

Show it anyway

Yes, he does. Alone, and single. Right where he belongs ;)

Clearly you need a better boyfriend but birth control is a good idea along with the condoms. It provides more protection against pregnancy that way.

As much as stereotypes piss me off, you ex deserves to be an ex OP, sorry you got one of the bad ones, yes condoms are very uncomfortable but they can be taken off with no side effects, birth controll... Not so much, best of luck with your next pick of the litter

You don't want this douche bags offspring anyway. Good for you for dumping his bitch ass. he sounds like a woman!

1. Anyone who thinks that is rape is an idiot. 2. Your ex was an asshole, good thing you dumped him. 3. It's your choice, but birth control is good, so long as it doesn't have side effects. 4. Find yourself a good boyfriend. Too many girls date assholes, leaving nice guys alone.

I have yet to come across a birth control pill with no serious side effects

Wouldnt making you take birth control be just as "sexist and degrading"?

My theory was that this was actually a negotiation strategy. He thought you'd counter with, "We have sex once every three months and you have to wear 4 condoms" and you'd bargain to an agreeable middle ground.

I'm glad you're from my state OP. Here's to all the Wisconsin women that aren't taking any shit from their boyfriends.
