Posted: 9/7/2009 10:20:24 AM | Sure. I think men should ONLY pay half of any cost associated with anything. Let's treat it like the equal partnership it's supposed to be. I'm not the activities director for another person's life, except dependent children. Not a child?? pay your own way.
Welcome to Equality. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 10:45:29 AM | I have never thought about birth control being a shared cost. In my mind, me not getting pregnant was reason enough to be in control of the method of birth control I wanted and to pay to protect myself. I feel birth control its no different than the costs associated with me taking vitamin suppliments to be healthy - by body, my health.
I'm big into communicating, so the discussions about intimacy usually surfaces long before intimacy happens. If I guy does not ask me about pregnancy protection, I see that as a red flag. I the guy says he only rides bare back, I usually tell the Cowboy to check out another rodeo, cause with me its "no glove - no love". 
If the guy is smart enough to use a condom, I let him know that I'm looking after the pregnancy protection and he can look after the condoms. This way he can buy the correct size and have a choice in what type he wears.
STD's and unwanted pregnancies are too important to ingore. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 10:55:43 AM | I think it should be based on the individual situation, and I'm about 99% sure you're referring to a 'committed' relationship? In that case, I think yes,if you're one of those couples who co-pay for everything why not add birth control to the tab and in that case, if Viagra is needed, ditto. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 11:24:06 AM | | If you are middle aged and still need the pill, I wouldn't want to date you anyway. I put up with PMS (or at least it was used as an excuse for bad behavior often enough) that I don't want to ride that horse again. If you haven't had menopause, ditto. When you are done with all that, I will give you a copy of my blood test certifying that sex with me will not prove fatal. If you have trust issues and think I will give you an STD, I won't pay for half your therapy to get over that either. I figure I can safely assume that when involved in a relationship, I will pay half or more for everything one way or the other anyway, so does it really matter what the money goes for in the end, does it? | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 11:37:57 AM | My ex wife almost died from the pill. It was a nightmare. Her leg swelled up the size of an elephant's leg and she was in extreme pain. At first they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Turns out, the pill caused blood clots that almost took her life. One clot went from her groin all the way down her leg, and there was another one as well.
HORRIBLE.
If any piece of the clot broke off it could mean a brain hemorrhage or heart attack.
She had to be hospitalized and was on Cumadin for about a year, if I remember correctly.
Actually, this awful event precipitated our breakup.
I would suggest that any women who use the pill, think twice. The potential for blood clotting is very great. If you have a desk job the danger is greatly increased. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 12:51:07 PM | Whatsallthis - nothing wrong with being 50+ with a working baby factory. I have never been psycho with PMS, as some women get (or use as an excuse). I have and still do work hard understanding how to have my body chemistry in balance.
Your tongue in cheek humor, might be taken wrong, and you sir seem quite high maintenance................  | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 5:06:06 PM | My guy wouldnt wear a condom. I made him pay for all my birth control pills. Women are more vulnerable to std and she has to go through the pain of having an abortion if she get's pregnant. Most likely you will get hpv too. If you two break up you will have to get treatment for that as well which he probably wont even pay for because of the breakup.
Tell him to wear a condom. Otherwise make him pay for birth control so you can you will have money saved up to pay for any stds. | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 5:52:20 PM | | in an ideal world, yes, a partner should take 50% of the financial responsibility for all forms of birth control (the pill, condoms, the morning-after pill, whatever) as he also benefits from avoiding an unwanted pregnancy. but unfortunately most guys don't think about that. i use condoms as my form of contraception, but nothing's 100% and there have been some accidents/breaks in the past...and in those cases i used the morning-after pill. how many times do you think that my partner at the time volunteered to split the cost? -- not once. and considering that each time he was in a panic over the possibility, he was certainly getting a benefit from my expense. | |

And why the hell should we? We pay for everything else, now we need to pay to keep your honeypot from ruining our lives with unwanted children too?
How stupid can you be? You were a part of what happened. Share in the consequences. I'm really ashamed or the males who wouldn't step up and be a real man. | |

You were on the pill before him,its your respociblity to pay.LOL...you have some dam nerve.
and if the girl gets knocked up it's your responsibility as the daddy to pay child support for 18+ years. now, you tell me, isn't paying 50% for the pill (or other contraception) the more intelligent economic investment? | |
