Ultimately, who is responsible for the birth control?

The male or the female?

Answer:
Both- If the girl isn't on birth control and doesn't want to be (for any reason0 than she might want to carry a condom with her. A guy should always have a condom on him if he is sexually active. If the girl ends up pregnant it is as much the guys fault as the females. Just bc she carries the baby doesn't mean he wasn't involved. It is an equal responsiblity to prtect yourselves, not just from pregnancy, but diseases. Don't take chances on things you might not be ready to deal with.
Ultimately, whoever doesn't want to get pregnant.
there both are if you what to get pregent
The female !! Absolutely !!
Female.
I believe we both are. Man and woman.
The one who doesn't want to get pregnant. Both should be responsible for it, but they don't always live up to that responsibility.
Takes two to make a baby, takes two to stop it too.
Who ever doesn't want to get pregnant. But most of the time the responsiblity falls on the woman because guys think with the wrong head. I think it falls on women more when two people are involved in a serious relationship because guys at one point are going to want to have unprotected sex because it feels better. And all women have to do is take a pill, or even a shot and men can go raw all they want no consequences.
This is a decision that needs to be made between the couple. If they are married, this is one of many decisions the couple will face in their life together. If they are still dating, they both should use protection. The only birth control that is 100% safe is not having sex. Just remember that every time you have sex with someone you are leaving a little piece of your heart with that person, so make sure it is someone you want to leave the piece with.
Men don't get pregnant.
The female can get pregnant, the male can't.
So, unless you want to be preggers, make sure protection is used.
how can you blame one person or the other when it takes two?
Both of you.
It takes two to tango but only one to prevent pregnancy. Both are responsible but it's not a matter of one person being responsible; both of you need to discuss this. If you are going to go that far and you don't think this is a responsible discussion, then neither of you are mature enough to handle the act...no matter what the hormone level. And don't let either party act like it's the others SOLE responsiblity.
Both. Remember, the girl can always say "No". But beyond that, make him slap the raincoat on. No hormonal or side effects from pills.
both, takes 2 to have sex, takes 2 to get pregnant. Takes 2 to make sure protection is being used,
both, if you are having sex, male or female, you should be prepared to have a child unless YOU have birth control with you, and even then nothing is 100%
My husband and I consider it both our responsibility for birth control - we use different barrier methods that require cooperation from the two of us. If we were to conceive, we also consider that a responsibility to the two of us.

It takes two to tango, right?
Whoever doesn't want to have a baby.
Both partners are responsible for birth control. Gone are the days when it was the woman's fault if she became pregnant.
To the poster who said that eventually, a man will want unprotected sex because "it feels better", may I strongly suggest that you crawl back into the hole from whence you came. To suggest that a woman should be the only one responsible for birth control is uneducated and unenlightened.
anyone having sex is supose to be responsible but it does not always work that way. some people just act on the spur of the moment and hope they are lucky.
Both the male and the female.
The reality is, more often then not, its the woman stuck dealing with the b/c. When I was single, I never took that for granted & always had condoms around. I would take issue with any man who left b/c soley up to the woman.

Just an opinion.

< peace >
Both
they both are. it takes 2 people to make a baby. or not. either way it should be a conscious decision on the part of both people involved
Both.
Ultimately, God is.
BOTH, if they both don't want a pregnancy, BOTH if they both don't want to risk an STD, HIV or HPV (girls can buy condoms too for guys) But the best way is to abstain, becuase HPV is spread by skin to skin contact so even with a condom on if the person with HPV touches anywhere NEAR the other person's "privates" they've spread the disease and there is NO cure for HPV and I don't know anyone who would want to tell a "prospective" partner in life "I have HPV".
Since it is the woman who can get pregnant, she should be. Not only for pregnancy, but for the risk of HIV/AIDS and STDs, if she is not married.
Both are, but usually (and unfortunately) it is the woman who has to carry all the burden.
I was fortunate enough to find a husband who understands that it's a shared responsibility. A good rule of thumb would be that if the other person does not want to talk about birth control, do not have sex.
