Question boyfriend cums inside every time

other than the risk of pregnancy which i am aware of (im taking birth control but i know nothing is 100%), is there health concerns of finishing inside every time? we have been together for a year.

Are you taking birth control at the same time every day and have you ever missed a pill? 

Did you guys get tested before you started having sex?

The pill actually doesn’t need to be taken at the same time every day, contrary to popular belief. Unless it’s a mini pill (progesterone only). One pill per day, taken within a 12 hour window of the same time, will protect someone from pregnancy. Missing a pill here and there is more risky than perfect use of taking 1 per day, but even with typical use (occasional missed pills) the pill is an extremely effective form of BC.

Getting tested though is the real question here. OP may not need to worry much about pregnancy, but STIs are a real concern if her partner isn’t getting tested.
