Haven't they been on about this for a few years now? Anyway, they should bloody hurry it up, me having had a very interesting conversation with my previous-lesbian-now-seeing-a-man friend going on the pill when she didn't want to. The whole conversation with her about it had me gritting my teeth in rage, yet I think if this option existed he would happily take it.
Mind, I was idly looking at the ASDA own brand lube in the supermarket the other day and wondered why, when I'm all OK not having sex of a certain type if my lady partner doesn't want it like that, this is apparently never, ever, ever an option with hetero-sex. I think this might be a pub discussion..
Also, are condom failure rates significantly low? Is the pill 100%?
Pill is about 2% failure rate, I think. Condoms, when they work/are used perfectly, are about the same, but in the real world are about 10% failure rate.
I suppose I'd've been having non-heteronormative sex all this time until this fabby new jab appeared for my bloke? That or I'd have a non-hormone-release coil or maybe be using a diaphragm, which used properly and in conjunction with a condom is pretty effective.
sorry - I was being a bit shy, I meant penetrative sex. Also I'm not sure I even know how to spell it.. Apparently it's not sex with a boy without it? Ick, it made me feel queasy, having someone clearly a bit upset because they didn't want to be on the pill but felt like they had no choice.
Of course not all sex needs to be penetrative. But most men focus on it - it's (mostly) what they want. Some relationships may work around this, of course, but most want. I'd have thought the reasons behind this would be a tad obvious...
And nobody needs to be on the pill. There are alternatives.

I love how clueless I am about all of this :D

And your friend shouldn't go on the pill if she doesn't want to. Julie's not on the pill - it's not mandatory...
