As my sister-in-law says: wearing a condom for sex is like wearing wellies in the bath! If your worried about getting pregnant get him to remove it when he's about to come. Anyway supposedly the pill is 99.9% effective if used correctly.

Yes you can have sex without condom. I would still be safe than sorry and stay with using condom because it decreases risk of infection.

Yes. Just remember The Pill doesn't protect against sexually transmitted disease, such as HIV or Herpes.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (12 September 2007): First off you are at the age where having sex this young puts you at a greater risk of contracting the HPV virus which leads to cervical cancer, the fact that you started at 14 or 15 puts you at a very high risk.
There is now a vaccine for this virus, but the jury is still out about how effective it is in preventing cervical canccer among young women. It does not matter that you have only had one sex partner or sex for two years, you are still at risk because of your young age and lack of physical maturity....Another risk factor is the generally poor hygene of young boys and the condom does protect you some from this risk factor. That and the fact that the pill is only as effective as the user, meaning that if you regularly forget to take it, go off of it one month and back on again later, or take oral antibiotics for example, you need to use a condom to protect against pregnancy.
The decision is yours of course, but I would be concerned about unwanted pregnancy at your age as it will all but ruin your life and dash your goals for yourself, and the risk of std's is still there....do you really know if your boyfriend is faithful 100%, the mistake people make is not believing that their partner has the capacity to cheat, especially when you are unmarried!
