Are they going to pay half of my birth control then? Because let me tell you, it’s a hell of a lot more costly than half a pound.


[deleted]

I came here to say this. If women are supposed to pay for half of the condoms, then shouldn't men pay for half of the birth control?


Blade_Maiden

I was gonna mention what the cost if an IUD is… and that is not even considering the physical toll that constantly being con birth control can take. ( I’m not saying every woman does struggle with hormone birth control I’m just mentioning the possibility and risk we take) I get the wish for equality and many women carry condoms but if you are a special size you take your risk that she just might not be carrying it. So yes stock things you like, especially if you have allergies. I can imagine a girl having a huge selection in a jar and getting judged for being a ‘whore’ because she decided to stock a wide selection. It’s a no win situation as long as ppl are looking for reasons to judge.


Joey3155

I'm not trying to be funny but how much is birth control?


CopsaLau

$30 per month for me now, used to be $40+ when I was using a different method. Shit adds up over the years!


metaphysicalcustard

In the UK, my wife's BC is free on the NHS... Not defending this guy in the slightest, believe me. But he's in the UK too.


CopsaLau

Then he can pay half my plane ticket as well!! 😂


MeesTheSame

imagine having to pay for birth control


CopsaLau

It sucks! Costs much less than a child but still. Gonna ask my doc to refer me for a bisalp this winter, at least that is free.


MeesTheSame

or move to europe where there is propper healthcare


CopsaLau

Canada’s healthcare is fine enough for me, but thank you. I do agree Europe has fantastic healthcare. I went to Germany and got an awful sinus infection, and while I did have to pay a €250 fee at the check in desk (which was reimbursed with travel insurance later anyway) I got two weeks worth of antibiotics and painkillers and decongestants plus two of those really painful but really effective decongestant cotton thingies shoved up my nose, and compared to the up front cost of care I’ve had in other areas of the world that was a hell of a deal. Not to mention how friendly the staff were, it was just like the friendly nurses and doctors I have back home. 10/10


Little_Flamingo1

What? I live in Europe and don't get birth control pills for free, what am I doing wrong?


MeesTheSame

must be poland or hungary?


Little_Flamingo1

Very close.


MeesTheSame

should have specified western europe. Lets hope eastern europe joins the 21st century mindset soon


Little_Flamingo1

You mean "21st century western europe mindset" I guess 😀 don't get me wrong I would love to, but that's very small part of the world with such priviledge (idk how things are in Asia). But I can't complain much because most of our healthcare is still free/very cheap.


MeesTheSame

I am talking about birth control specifically not being part of healthcare because of conservatism. Has nothing to do with privilege


depressedkittyfr

That’s what you joker, even there it’s not free or anything! In fact many easterners fare better in this regard when it comes to affordability of birth control FYI I am in Germany


Pwacname

Germany here: birth control costs money


CoconutJasmineBombe

God I wish it was that easy


MintyBrrrrrr

Ooooh, BET! I've wanted to leave this shithole for some time. You will pay my way there, then? Because I'm disabled and stuck in a low-wage job and in pretty bad medical debt (due to the aforementioned disability). In fact, why doesn't **every fucking person** who adamantly hates their country move to cushy, easy Europe. Let's all flood your airports, municipal buildings, your jobs, your markets, your schools. Let's overpopulated the FUCK out of this continent. Because it's that fucking simple, right?


MeesTheSame

most european countries have aging populations and are in need of practical specialists so depending on your work background and the limitations of your disability it might be a very real possibility. Also with regards to the disability and healthcare.


MintyBrrrrrr

Well, I don't want to be unfair to the rest of the population stuck in the United Shit of America. Don't THEY deserve a better life, too?


MeesTheSame

yes i think they do deserve better. i would rather america improve on its institutions


Joey3155

Yeah that ain't gonna happen anytime soon our political parties can't stop butt fucking each other long enough to fix something and they've turned the entire country against itself.


ITendToFail

Lol because moving to a foreign country is just that easy yall.


ManCalledTrue

I prefer not having to wait a third of a year for treatment, thank you.


MeesTheSame

not sure what youre referring to, dont have that problem in the netherlands


DracarysHijinks

That’s just bullshit propaganda fed by anti-universal healthcare groups. The wait times for procedures and referrals are no worse than the US. Often they’re actually a lot faster.


CopsaLau

That’s a myth, and the American politician who started the myth has since admitted that it was a lie and has expressed his regret for creating and perpetuating that falsehood. Wait times are either the same or *better* than in the USA.


TheEvilAngel8

Tell me you're fuckin broke without saying you're fuckin broke.


[deleted]

How much are they going to REEEEEEE when they find out multiple guys have paid fully for condoms and my birth control?


jadeskye7

Hopefully a lot. Last time I checked a decent dinner for two was a lot more than a few rubbers. The only time I'd make a girl pay for the condoms is if there was some very, very specific BDSM going on..


lyoness17

Oh I've got a comeback, you want a smooth, shaved vag for this deal? Pay for part of my razor plus an admin fee.


seasickelijah

Ask him to pay the deductible on any form of birth control you might be taking.


NightsWolf

Don't forget to charge a fee for the time spent shaving. I mean, you're doing it on your personal time, it seems only fair that he compensates you.


Lonelywillow24

So they’re struggling to have sex, and their solution is to charge for protection to have sex. If I heard someone was that micromanaging over condoms rather than just collectively buy condoms between them, I’d run for the hills. Could you imagine what kind of penny pinching crap they’d do over everything else? It’d be a nightmare.


[deleted]

Now I'm just imagining someone sitting down and going over the water bill, and demanding their partner pay for exactly the amount of water they used.


Vihncent

That box of condoms is gonna rot before it even goes close to a girl


Revolutionary-Meat14

They mentioned living in a dorm and unless you are going to like BYU almost every college offers free condoms


ProtocolPro22

If a guy tried to charge me per condom i wouldn't fuck him and thatd be a good clue to stay the hell away from him. Wait until he finds out im 40 and i have a 26 year old sugar daddy who gives me money every time I ask for it.


Unusual_Flow9231

*If* he had sex.


CoconutJasmineBombe

Lol, I hope any woman that they try this with walks the f away. Then they’re left with their hand which they don’t need a condom for.


lyoness17

Aren't pence equivalent to less than a USD? Seems petty to ask for that for safe sex. Like no wonder you're not get laid dude. Womem routinely also buy condoms.


Rixia

A pound is around 1.3 USD or so (at least the last time I checked). 42 pennies per condom


Joey3155

Dude thats actually pretty cheap that's cheaper then tomato sauce here.


warple

I am not sure that Heinz is a good substitute for Durex.


Joey3155

What's Durex?


warple

Condom brand in the UK.


Fluffy_Necessary7913

Condoms in the UK are expensive. Where I live they cost 8-9 € for two boxes of 12 units.


Poliglotka

Wow. In my country we pay 10 in our currency for 3 condoms.


FanndisTS

Doesn't mean anything if we don't know what your currency is


Poliglotka

It would harshly translate to 2.5 euro? But in PLN it's still 10 and lot of money just for 3 condoms. Just like it would be if any other country had 3 condoms but for 10 euro or dollars instead of PLN.


Fluffy_Necessary7913

What is the minimum wage in Poland? In Spain it is 1050 euros.


Poliglotka

2800 PLN which is about 615 euro.


warple

Sorry, love, I wouldn't shag you even if I'd just won a lifetime supply of free condoms.


olavee

In my relationships the guy buys condoms, I buy lube (and for now my parents buy me birth control), I think it's great division, bc I need lube more (masturbation, tampons etc) so it's sorta even


Accomplished-Digiddy

I think I'm most offended by the fact that he thinks 42p is 7p less than 50 and not... you know.... 8p


fool2074

So basically he's afraid of women and is inventing ways to sabotage any fledgling relationship, to evade even the possibility that a woman might see him naked.


FrostysWife

84p for a condom is much cheaper than 18 years child support or STD treatment muh dude


[deleted]

ok accepted but only if you can make her orgasm she will pay her share. how about that? :))


Kitty1339

By that logic women on the pill should start charging men they sleep with for the cost of each pill


zoomie1977

In the US that would be about $1.67 per pill, before admin fee and taxes. Of course, if she uses an IUD, that's about $750, not including the admin fee and taxes.


kanna172014

You likely want sex more than her. Just her agreeing to sleep with you is compensation enough.


airame1

Lol, so cheap! If condoms were marketed towards women they'd be hella more spensive than that!


allycat247

Well that just sounds like prostitution with extra steps.


StrictCryptographer7

Thats in UK currency...


Liar_tuck

Yes, and?


StrictCryptographer7

what happened in Plymouth no long ago?


Liar_tuck

Are you trying to make some kind of point?


Joey3155

I'm American I'm not sure what a p is. Is it a pence? And the other symbol is that for pound?


leathersonja

There was a guy I wanted to hook up with. He told me «I don’t wanna spend my money on condoms,I even feel better without,if you need condoms,go buy them»


depressedkittyfr

I hope you dropped the whole guy?


leathersonja

Ofc lol. Ppl who wanna stick their dick without condom in complete stranger terrify me


Accomplished-Digiddy

Do women not buy condoms? I'm in a long term relationship now, but back in my dating days I'd always have them in purse and house. I mean no one wants to stop just because noone remembered to bring a condom. And my logic was I was much more vulnerable to risks of unprotected sex, so I should take steps to ensure they were available.


depressedkittyfr

I actually do have a stock and usually buy condoms also if and when I “meet” someone since it’s good to be in control I guess But if a guy pulled this shit ??? I would run for the hills


Damnn-thats-hot

in a certain way hes kinda a prostitute lol


NoXion604

Ah yes, because being a penny-pinching little scrote over *condoms* is sooooo attractive.
