How Do I Talk To My Partner About It?
Talking about birth control can be difficult. But if you’re in a serious relationship, it’s important to make these decisions together. (If you feel you can’t talk to your partner about it, you might want to rethink if you’re ready for sex with that person.) First, find out about the different methods available. Second, plan out what you want to say. Practice your opening lines out loud so you feel comfortable. Third, plan a time and place where you can have privacy. Maybe while taking a walk together. Lastly, be sure to talk about why birth control is important. Ask him or her for their opinion. Just be clear that you will not have sex without using contraception.
