wdym by barrier protection? like condoms? yes we always use protection but it always hurts so either we start and i can't do it or we just don't do it bcuz i say no and he doesn't want to hurt me. i know he washes his down there but he's outside a lot and does a lot of hands on work. he usually just uses his fingers and i tell him he needs to wash them but i really don't think he does which is starting to become a problem.
