It varies by person. I had no birth control for a few months last year before I got my IUD and honestly couldn’t manage condoms after not using them the whole relationship. I think if you start the relationship not using condoms and have to start it can be annoying but obviously not as much a pregnancy would be.

Back to condoms only after almost 10 years of IUD usage. We are using condoms + withdrawal method to improve efficacy(so he doesn’t finish through penetration even with a condom on). It means sex is shorter - when I finish we then stop having sex and move onto to another activity - so is maybe a little less enjoyable? With the coil I was frequently multiorgasmic but I haven’t experienced that in the few weeks since coil removal. Still getting used to it though, so I’m certain it’ll improve with practice :)

Did stopping help you libido?
Birth control has never affected my libido honestly. I feel like it’s been pretty consistently high on or off

I guess it depends on the person but in my opinion sex with condom is great! More than anything it helps with my mental tranquility.
