yeah... you can stop the patch if your not going to have sex, and then just go back on it again when you are sexually active again. when your starting to have sex again just go back on the patch, wait the suggested time it takes for the patch to kick in, you can still have sex during the time when the patch is ineffective but wear a condom and you should be fine.
