If she can't, or your college doesn't offer anything like that, a pack of pills really isn't all that expensive. If she really wants to take them, it isn't hard to cut a few corners (eating out is a big expense, clothes/shoes are another) and get some. You should help her with the cost. I can't believe between the two of you, you can't come up with $30-$40 a month. Come on.
Visit planned parenthood, I have heard they can help with cheap birth control.
And if she thinks the pill is expensive, just think how much a baby would cost!
If you are old enough to have sex, you are old enough to be responsible.

Exactly and that is why we have chosen to use a condom from here on out. ***So please back to helping me with my problem*** thanks
I second the use of condoms and think you are smart to be using them. If the two of you are monogamous and have been tested for all STDs, including herpes, AND your partner can be compliant in taking the pill as prescribed, then and only then should you consider the pill without barrier protection. Otherwise, stick with the condoms. Going on the pill can be a bad habit, because many people will forego condoms when the woman says "oh, don't worry, I'm on the pill." You should still be using condoms until you know your partner well enough either to be monogamous with her or to have been tested for STDs.
I've had partners in the past who couldn't orgasm through oral sex. It depends on the guy. I've been told I give great head, so I don't think it was my technique. Sorry, that's TMI, but I wanted to throw that in. Anyway, a lot of men don't come during BJs, and I don't consider that a big deal. You can finish yourself off, your partner can use her hand, or you can put the condom back on and have intercourse again. Or not finish. Whatever.
The orgasm during condom thing is easy to deal with - you need to start masturbating with a condom on so you can get used to the feeling of having it on.
I also think you might want to look at any other issues going on with the orgasm thing - like are you completely comfortable around her letting go, etc. But start jerking off with a condom and see if that helps. You don't have to masturbate less just because you have a girlfriend. Yeesh, I hate that "advice." It's ludicrous.
The whole thing about wearing a condom i think it is mental. I know it is for me. First of all I always try to have sex with her without a condom and she makes me put one on and i automatically lose my excitement and she has to get me up again. I don't know if this happens to you but when i masterbate it is quicker for me to do it myself then for her to give me a handjob. And if I masterbate in front of her it takes me longer if i were to do it in my own privacy.
A few things that worked for me
try condoms called skyn by lifestyle- it takes forever for me to go in them but sometimes it works and sometime it doesn't
i don't know if you drink at all but next time you have sex try getting a little buzzed (not drunk) before you do. that has helped me out sometimes. I haven't tried this yet but i want to- have your girlfriend where a female condom instead of you wearing one (if you do let me know if it works out) Now if anyone out there can give me some info as well i would be thankful
