Years ago i had a similar issue, but with a much more hostile partner. My boyfriend at the time had never used condoms with anyone he'd been with. I was not taking any hormonal birth control and insisted on condoms. He whined and moaned about him being the unlucky guy who ends up with the girlfriend who refuses to go on the pill. talk about pressure, haha. BYE BYE Forward to the present: my DH and I are on the same page. He understands my desire to remain artificial hormone free (we don't eat milk, eggs or meat with hormones so why would I?). We use a combination of FAM, condoms during my fertile times and a diaphragm w natural spermicide for peace of mind the rest of the month. I don't necessarily enjoy inserting a diaphragm nor does he particularly enjoy wearing a condom but we enjoy each other and each do what we can, within reason. So, no advice from me. Just letting you know that if someone loves you enough they would never pressure you into something you are not comfortable with.
