writes:I am having a slight problem right now. My boyfriend is a little bit miss informed about how easy it is to get pregnant. I am on birth control, soo because of this he thinks we don;t need to use condom's since we both know there's no STD's or anything to worry bout there. But I AM NOT, taking any chances. How do I get him to understand that birth control is not 100% against pregnancy ?

If you read the instructions and follow then there is no reason for your boyfriend to use a condom (unless you are worried about STDs)

 Get him to look it up on the internet.
Alternatively, ask him if he really wants to trust his entire reproductive decision to you. Ask if he trusts you never to forget (or "forget") a pill. Ask if he understands what happens when you take a 2% risk of failure 50 times.
Honestly, he doesn't really need to understand. Just make it quite clear that there will be no sex without condoms, and that whining about it will only make him look like a... well, like a whiner (I need coffee).
If all sex stop without a condom, and whining is no longer tolerated, he'll shape up.
