IMO for anyone in a stable monoamorous relationship, the IUD is the superior option, as long as the female partner is a good fit for it and doesn't have complications from it.

    My wife had significant issues with hers, including basically never-ending spotting and occasional surprise periods, cramps, mood issues, etc. She had it removed after 2 years.

    I'm thinking a vasectomy is the next thing, but it isn't covered on my insurance and finding a doctor is intimidating.
