It is a risk to trust a woman that she is using birth control. It is a substantial risk. You're risking 18 years of child raising expenses/child support payments and the possibility of having to interact with this woman for the rest of your life even if things go bad. Co-parenting lasts beyond the child's 18th birthday. After the child turns 18, there are still holiday interactions, a possible college graduation, etc. Those are events where you'll be interacting in some way with the child's mom. Additionally, young adults have been less independent between ages 18-30 during the last 2 decades and that's a trend that's expected to continue in the future. You and the child's mother might have to talk about who is going to help your 25 year old son/daughter with a place to live/paying some expenses after a layoff.isn't it a risk to trust a woman that she is using birth control? I've heard some women trick the guy to pregnant and then force him to commit
None of that sounds exciting.
Yes, it can happen that women use a preganancy to trap a man. When women pull the "baby trap" maneuver to get a commit, those commitments usually don't last until that child turns 18.
If you are unsure about having kids with a woman, use condoms with her.
That's good advice. It doesn't seem exciting to use a condom while having sex with a post menopausal 53 year old woman.
With STD's on the rise you better glove up if you are cougar hunting!
A lot of people in their 50s and 60s get STDs because pregnancy isn't a possibility, assuming 2 similarly aged partners are having sex.
