Uuuuugh... I hate condoms. They're like making love to an exam glove.

Abstinence. 100% effective.

Absolutely... but now that I've tasted of the forbidden fruit, there's no going back. I'll have to seek other recourses.

I generally hate condoms as well. I would suggest you try the "natural membrane" condoms - made out of lamb intestines (or something like that). They're way better than the latex condoms as long as the gentleman can get over the mental hurdle of sporting a lamb intestine.

NOTE: I don't know what mental hurdle the lady must overcome when using natural membrane condoms but I'm willing to bet that making love to a lamb intestine is better than making love to an exam glove.

One problem with the Trojan Naturalamb is the price. A 12-pack will probably cost $30-$40.

Seeing as how y'all are newlyweds, you may pay more in Naturalamb condoms than in paying for the pill out of pocket.

You get used to them. I've tried several different pills and hated them all.

Natural lamb condoms, besides being gross, are not as effective as latex.

There's nothing wrong with the pill (at least, as far as I can tell...). I bawled like a blathering baby the first 2 months I was on it, but now that things have calmed down, I tend to be less moody while I'm on it.

Condoms, on the other hand, are just a pain. They get in the way of sensation and slide around. But maybe it's just a matter of preference.

We just pay out of pocket - it's not that expensive, maybe 30 bucks a month - and my wife was pregnant for about 15 months straight before we had the baby (she miscarried after about 4 months - no worries, though, we got pregnant about 10 days after the doc. said to try again).

I've never seen a "natural membrane" condom in the bowling alley restrooms. Where do you buy them?
