I’m the one who asked about the pill.

I’m a 20-year-old college student—not some middle-aged guy or anything… lol
I actually recommend taking the pill to my friends too. Surprisingly, a lot of girls around this age have unprotected sex with withdrawal because they’re doing it with a boyfriend they really love. But wouldn’t it be the worst thing to end up pregnant with the child of someone who isn’t even your fiancé at this age?
I started taking the pill when I was in high school. I only had sex with my boyfriend using condoms, but even then, pregnancy can’t be prevented 100%, and I often became emotionally unstable because I was so anxious about whether my period would really come. There were times when I used several pregnancy tests in one day, or was so stressed that my period didn’t come for two months. That’s why I started taking the pill. Using the pill together with condoms makes me feel really secure.
I believe that I’m the only one who can protect myself.
Of course, I don’t tell every papa (male supporter) that I take the pill. If I told them, a lot of them would probably think, “So we can do it without a condom!”
I believe that non-insurance-covered pills are meant to prevent unplanned pregnancies, not to make unprotected sex okay. I’ve heard that insurance-covered pills are mainly for regulating your menstrual cycle, and that their effectiveness regarding pregnancy is uncertain.
I don’t understand why people think I sound like some middle-aged man.
And I also find it strange that anyone would do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) involving an adult relationship (intimate) when there’s a risk of becoming pregnant by a man they don’t even have romantic feelings for.
Does society generally assume that taking the pill means someone has unprotected sex?
Personally, if the pill didn’t agree with my body, I wouldn’t be able to do papa-katsu. In papa-katsu, where seeing multiple people is normal, wouldn’t it be devastating not to know who the father of your child is…? Most papas are married, too.
