Do you think birth control cost should be split between partners?

YES! If it cost the woman to get birth control so that BOTH of them can have sex and prevent a child from being conceived, which would happen from BOTH of them, with BOTH of them responsible should the child be born, than yes it should be split. The guy has a problem if he wants the pleasure of your body, but not a shared responsibility in what takes TWO to tango.





By the way, make sure you have condoms of YOUR OWN...many guys will try to sleep with you with nothing, irresponsibly.





And make sure you use contraceptives even if you are putting up the full cost....but remember, if you're in a monogamous relationship and you need help with the cost, feel free to ask him to pitch in, or ask him if he'd like to be stuck with 18 years of child support.





If you're flinging around with every guy on the block, contraceptives are fully your cost.Do you think birth control cost should be split between partners?
So when you stop seeing your boyfriend you stop buying birth control? What happens if you have a fling or something?





I don't disagree with couples who choose to split the cost, but I do not think it should be an expectation on a man's part. I also do not think it would be fair to hold out on sex just because a man doesn't want to pay for birth control.





I guess the only other thing I could think of, is does your question include all forms of birth control? Like maybe girls should split the cost of condoms as well?





Seems fair, but I don't think it should be an obligation. Ultimately we are responsible for our own bodies and its up to us to rely on ourselves to make sure we are safe.Do you think birth control cost should be split between partners?
what an interesting thought. mind you what happens if only 1 partner is willing to pay, does that mean you only take half the pills or what.





i reckon the cost should be the responsibility of the person who has the most to lose in case of a pregnancy but realistically i can't see that happening so i guess it is up to the female to bear the costs of pills as they have the power to say no. however the male should bear the costs of condoms which should be used as well. in other words if its not on its not on.





so looks like they both pay in a way.
It really depends on your situation and relationship.





If you're just beginning dating and you were on birth control pills before you started dating and were planning on staying on them no matter what, no I don't think you should expect anything. That doesn't mean you can't talk about it, though.





If you both made a joint decision to go on the pills instead of other birth control methods, maybe. Talk about splitting the costs.





If you are using other methods plus pills maybe you could split the costs or you buy the pills and have him buy the condoms...





I don't see why it shouldn't or couldn't be split. Most guys who aren't ready to be a father wouldn't mind putting a few bucks towards birth control pills. Whatever you do, though, make sure you're safe and don't let money get in the way of using some sort of protection.
if he is doing other things for you as the man, maybe its ok that you take that upon yourself.





of he isnt putting much itno the relationship...start charging him....but then again,,,if hes a scumbag why are u having unprotected sex with him in the first place lol
YES.





But never let a lack of someone paying half prevent you from getting it.





If you have a non-monogamous relationship then you bare the cost of the pill and he bares the cost of the condom.
Depends on how long you've been going out. If you started it while with your current partner, than yes. But if you've been taking if for awhile and got somebody new, then that is your responsibility.
yeah if its just u and the same guy obviously lmao. i mean your both benefiting from it. i mean im sure he pays for the date sometimes right? im sure it comes out int the wash n e way... if not dump that cheap *** lol
Of course - only married folks need birth control, because unmarried women shouldn't be sleeping around...............
that's a great idea but girls if he wont pay then tell him he cant play or pay yourself cause you are the ones that will get stuck
It's up to them if they want to, but if you ask a guy to pay for part and he refuses, time to upgrade...
good question. and yeah i think it should be split, between partners. or make him pay for it. if he don't want condoms
The girls should pay for their birth control and guys their condoms.
Depends on what the cost is!


it's only costing me $10, thats pointless to split
Why. At least if you buy it you know it is there. Would you pay for his condoms?
Honestly, no. Thats your responsibility.
No
no
no if u dont want to get pregnant
no u should take it to b on the safe side
