A lot of people who currently take an oral contraceptive do not actually take them correctly - i.e. taking them at the same time daily, not using other drugs/medicines/foods that will interfere with how the drug works - lowering the success rate, which is why you hear about women getting pregnant while on the pill and chucking it up to a "miracle" (i personally know a few). Also sometimes people will take the pill using it in the same way as plan B, which is not effective what so ever, as a way to either conserve their script or money. The success rate jumps from 98% to 93% if not taken at the correct time daily (however dont quote me on that as the statistics may be wrong because i do not have the article infront of me) and is lowered even more if you go 24hrs without taking a pill.
I think people should be more educated on the current methods of BC readily available, like the pill, and how to use them correctly.
that being said, why shouldn't we trust men with the same responsibility that we put on women? it really all lies in safe sex education and having the right information being given out and making sure the people who are using these products understand how to use them correctly.

Normally? No. My partner? Yes. But that's because he's earned it.

That being said, you shouldn't trust most women. His previous partner stopped taking the pill (well, took a placebo instead) and poked holes in their condoms.

If he can trust me to take mine and hold onto our condoms, I could return the favor.
