If you are of childbearing age, you may consider using a form of birth control to prevent becoming pregnant. The practice of preventing pregnancy is as old as human existence. For centuries, humans have attempted to avoid pregnancy at certain times of their lives to accommodate their careers, marital situations, and preferences. Read More...
The practice of birth control or preventing pregnancy is as old as human existence. For centuries, humans have relied upon their imagination to avoid pregnancy. ... Today, the voluntary control of fertility is of paramount importance to modern society. From a global perspective, countries currently face the crisis of rapid growth of the human population that has begun to threaten human survival. According to the Population Reference Bureau's 2003 World Population Data Sheet, the world's current growth rate is 1.3%. Based on this growth rate, the population would double in 53.8 years...
Continuous abstinence is completely refraining from s*xual intercourse. There are no hormonal side effects, and abstinence is endorsed by many religious groups. It is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and it also prevents s*xually transmitted diseases (STDs). Women who are abstinent until their 20s and have few partners are less likely to get STDs, become infertile, or develop cervical cancer. Abstinence costs nothing. Abstinence may be difficult for some couples to maintain. It is important to discuss this decision with your partner before s*xual situations arise.
Coitus interruptus
Coitus interruptus involves withdrawal of the entire ***** from the ****** before the man ejaculates (before sperm leaves the *****). Fertilization is prevented because sperm does not contact a woman’s egg. This method remains a significant means of fertility control in less advantaged countries.
How effective: This depends largely on the man's capability to withdraw prior to ejaculation. The failure rate is estimated to be about 4% in the first year of using this method exactly. In typical use, the rate is more like 19% during the first year of use. The failure rate means this method does not work to prevent pregnancy, and some couples using it will become pregnant anyway. The higher the failure rate, the more likely a woman is to have an unintended pregnancy.
Advantages: This method can be used at any time, with no devices, no cost, does not involve chemicals or hormones, and may offer a lower risk for other problems. Disadvantages: There is a high risk for unintended pregnancy. This method does not protect against s*xually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Natural Family Planning
Natural Family Planning (NFP), endorsed by the Couple to Couple League, is one of the most widely used methods of fertility regulation, particularly for those whose religious or cultural beliefs do not permit devices or drugs for birth control. This method involves periodic abstinence (no s*xual intercourse), with couples attempting to avoid intercourse during a woman's fertile period—around the time of ovulation. (Ovulation is the process in which during a woman's menstrual cycle, one of the woman's ovaries releases an egg.) ...
Those pills are needed desperately because abstinence is like "kryptomite" within our communities; so-called blacks, so-called west indians, so-called latinos, and yes so-called native americas indians. Because on the "res" or reservations all types of abomination and filth is being practiced by the sistahs and brothers.
That goes for all the other tribes too, male and females "BOTH" !!!
To many babies out-of-wedlock!!!!
