My partner and I always use condoms, but it is nice knowing where I'm at in my cycle. It helps to know how paranoid I should be since I live in a red state.
I don't trust one method of birth control. We've talked about him getting a vasectomy, and I'll probably be getting a microscope.
PSA: this is a reminder that no birth control method is fully bullet proof and that it's perfectly valid to want to use condoms and track ovulation cycles at the same time.
To put it simply, period blood stinks like hell and feels slimy. When you have two people on their period simultaneously, it's going to get really nasty real fast.
With a chance of making a fool of myself: Isn't it just easier if they are in sync, because then they both get it over with?
(As I recall the syncing is something that can happen)
Synched periods might happen in groups of people who get them due to pure chance, but it isn't an actual thing, and even if it was, it wouldn't be a decision one can just make.. 😂 (not laughing at you just at the idea that we have that kind of control over our periods.. If only!!!)
I still don't fully believe in syncing, but it would take time, and, theoretically, you'd have to spend more time with your partner than you do with anyone else.
