A member asked:
So if i wear the patch as a form of birth control, i can stop using condoms right? why or why not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Neither the patch or condoms are 100% preventive for pregnancy. Using both decreases your risk of an unwanted pregnancy. The patch does not provide any protection against any of the stds, while condoms do provide some protection. The condom puts some responsibility on the male for preventing pregnancy. For some men, condoms allow them to perform longer, greater chance of female pleasure.
