Daniel, 26, sterilization
Daniel has a son who means the world to him. Focusing exclusively on his one child felt right for him, so he opted for a vasectomy . That way, he’d never have to worry about broken condoms, missed pills, or the life-changing impact of an unplanned pregnancy. He found the procedure to be surprisingly quick […]
Kevin, 21, Spermicide
We say film, you think movie. But for Kevin and his girl, it’s their birth control method of choice. She inserts a small, thin piece of vaginal contraceptive film at least 15 minutes before sex and the film dissolves and disperses spermicide inside her. The only drawback for Kevin is if they don’t plan ahead. […]
Anthony, 27, the shot
Anthony’s girlfriend heard about the shot from her sister, discussed it with Anthony, and decided to go for it. She works and goes to school, so remembering to take a pill every day at the same time can be tough. Now she only has to see her doctor every three months to get the shot. […]

Tim, 27, the ring

Is solo sex linked to safer sex in teens?
New evidence suggests that teens who masturbate (which includes, surprise!, most of them) may also be more likely to use condoms when they have sex. At least, the ones willing to talk about it say they do. The study relied on a small number of teens who had to have permission from their parents to […]
Breastfeeding: good for baby—and for mom’s birth control
Effective birth control isn’t always a product made by a pharmaceutical company… sometimes our own bodies take care of it for us. Breastfeeding, if done a certain way, can be one of those times. In the first six months after birth, breastfeeding provides many benefits to a new mom and baby—and effective contraception can be […]
Yo, no bros
Can guys buy Plan B? Some guys are cool picking up your tampons from the store. Some avoid the lady products aisle like the plague. Still, it’s good to know that any guy can buy over-the-counter emergency contraception without a prescription. original post
