people think it's just the man's responsiblity to put a condom on? Personally, It's the responsibility of both. They both are choosing to have sex they both are responsible for using birth control, right?

Well, yeah, of course. It's both people's responsibility.
But if you get pregnant and your boyfriend didn't wear a condom, it's just as much your fault as his. And if a guy has sex with a girl and doesn't use a condom, and never asks if she's using birth control, its just as much his fault as hers.
The key to safe sex is education and responsibility. Most people think "It won't happen if we don't wear a condom this one time". Well, guess what? It does. It happened to me, too.
And it's not just about pregnancy, it's about STD's and AIDS, too. That stuff is waaaay scarier than a baby. And the scariest part is that most people who give diseases to others don't know they have anything.

I think it's interesting that most all answers to this question only took the possibility of the woman getting pregnant into consideration. Many women may feel that since they are on birth control that they don't need any other protection. However, unfortunately, they still need protection from STD's and the only way to ensure that is to make sure the man is wearing a condom. So she needs to pay attention and if the man doesn't put one on, then she should put one on for him. Vice versa, the man should also be worried about contracting STD's from a woman.
So in the end (no pun intended) it's the responsibility of BOTH parties to protect themselves. Not to do so is just pure stupidity. Even if the woman didn't get pregnant, they both could have their lives altered permanently.

It's the woman's responsibility to get herself on birth control pills or depo...IUD, whatever. A guy really can't partake in that.
It's the man's responsibility to have condoms available in the nightstand, pocket or wallet. That way there, he is responsible for having the appropriate size. If a woman were to have them on hand, she would have to have a box for every size....just in case (assuming she gets around).
As far as "in the moment"...they are BOTH responsible. If he's not puttin' it on, it then becomes her responsibility to ask. If she's not askin' he should be wrappin' anyway. And if he was unprepared, she should be leavin'.
Now if it's a married couple we are talking about, or a dating couple that has been together for a while, then it's BOTH their responsibilities to make sure there's enough condoms in the nightstand. At that point, the wife/gf should know the size of her mate's penis to buy the appropriate size.
JMO, though! :-)

I completely agree with you. As a woman I feel it is more my responsibility. After all it is my body and I'm going to be the one having to carry around a baby, not the man.

I absolutely agree with you, it is the responsibility of both partners to ensure that they are protected from STDs and unwanted pregnancy. I don't understand women who think that is the mans responsibility alone to protect them.

Yes I agree with you. If both are willing to have sex then both people should be protected. Besides, the more protection the better.

Good point - birth control should be exercised both ways..

I ALWAYS make sure to be the one to put it on my guy.
He doesn't like to wear them and when he puts them on he tears them on purpose.
So, yes, it should be the responsibility of BOTH.
