I hope I’m not shunned from GS for starting this topic.
I don’t know if it’s a myth or a fact that a lot of brown/desi men would rather have their wives use birth control than them putting a glove on.
Any clues/ideas?
Girls feel free to provide your input as to what you know or have heard of.
Re: Desis and Contraception
Most couples after marriage don't use condoms. Nothing new and nothing to do with desis.
Re: Desis and Contraception
If they're not using condoms... and they don't want kids exactly after 9 months of their wedding...what do they use?..other methods don't always work.
Re: Desis and Contraception
Condoms don't always work either. They are the most effective form of contraception, but not a guaranteed form. There can be ...... slippage etc.
Re: Desis and Contraception
^ and you would know.....how?
Re: Desis and Contraception
hain? there are methods much more effective than the condom when it comes to avoiding pregnancy…like IUDs and pills. but pills are hectic, there’s this thing , a patch that u can put on (women) and forget about it. IUD’s are expensive and there are some dangers if you forget to take it out after a year(again for a women) i heard there’s a birth control pill for men (dont have much info on that)
condoms are most effective and efficient in preventing against STDs.
Re: Desis and Contraception
Mandatory sex ed classes from age 13 onwards :roman:
Re: Desis and Contraception
I think even the morning after pill is a very good form of contraceptive in cases of emergencies. They should do sum more research on edible contraceptives for men.
Re: Desis and Contraception
^^ they're quite expensive and might not always be available.... (morning after stuff)
Re: Desis and Contraception
The morning after pill is pretty harmful to you. It’s a massive dose of hormones that shock the female body into preventing a fertilised egg from implanting in the womb lining.
Re: Desis and Contraception
exactly. You shouldn’t be using morning after if you are married 
I think most men complain that there is a loss of feeling when using condoms. There have been numerous threads in HR regarding this so you can search them out Dr. K.
Re: Desis and Contraception
I think when ur married u have to be somewhat prepared for any "happy accidents, whether u use condoms, pills, IUDs patches, pulling otu whatever. The only sure method of not getting pregnant is abstinence and if i wanted to practice abstinence i’d stay single 
Re: Desis and Contraception
Er, its not good for many women that have to take it. Many end up puking their guts out for over 24hrs. Some cases may even warrant anti-emetics :yukh:
Effective, but comes with a price.
Re: Desis and Contraception
So is this desi chivalry? Put the female on something that can harm her body, for the sake of saving the inconvenience of a condom?
Re: Desis and Contraception
yeah and plus pills make you gain weight. So then these same guys will be complainin that thier wife is a fat cow :D
Re: Desis and Contraception
I love you Sara516. Aap mere se shaadi karlein. 
Re: Desis and Contraception
how are pills harmful? aside from basic side affects, how are they harmful to women (serious question)
Re: Desis and Contraception
Gaining weight is plenty harmful if ur hubby is gonna think ur a fat cow afterwards :p JK
Uhmmm actually i can't think of any serious side effcts off the top of my head but i'm still not gonna take the risk..
Re: Desis and Contraception
i think the gaining weight only occurs in the first 3 cycles of taking the pill... and its water retention.. its not as if ur putting on fat. If you can exercise and keep control of your diet, it shouldnt be too bad... me thinks.. but who knows
Re: Desis and Contraception
ya you don't gain 10 lbs or something, it will be will be just a lb or maybe two but not more then that if you eat balance diet and do some excercise or walk on regular basis. I think oral contaceptives are the most safest form of birth control for a woman.
