What contraceptive should I use?
When my bf and I get intimate, there is no penetration as his penis just touches my vagina. He does not ejaculate in me. Would a condom be sufficient to prevent pregnancy and STDs?

Condoms is not merely sufficient to prevent STDs. It is the only contraceptive that is effective in preventing STDs. All other methods - the oral contraceptive pill, arm implant, intrauterine device and injectable hormonal contraceptive do not prevent STDs.
To further decrease the chance of pregnancy, especially if there is penetration, you can use condoms together with another hormonal contraception.
