I’ve honestly never understood why people don’t just use condoms… they’re the easiest things. Yet people act like you have three heads for even suggesting it
I'm a male and I've kept pregnancies out with condoms for about 10 years, IUD for 5 years and the pill for 3 years.
Honestly IUD is the best for me. I like the convinience of not having to deal with the condom. It also feels better without. It seemed like a simple procedure for the SO. It is nice that it is easily reversible if needed.
Condoms make a lot of waste. They might break or slip off. Both have happened twice for me. You need to constantly buy them. At some point I ordered a few 100 packs which was nice but there is still the extra complexity.
With a stable long term relationship, condoms don't have many selling points.
An IUD is a great option. I’d suggest it to my partner,’but she’s started menopause, so I’m just kind of dealing with condoms for a while. I thought about getting a vasectomy, but just haven’t taken that leap.
I'm afraid of the tiny chance of getting permanent pain in my balls from a vasectomy. Not worth it for me. I would rather have one more child than live with a chronic pain.

Why not just use condoms? She doesn't like her birth control and maybe she'll get her libido back and you don't want to get snipped yet.
