James, 34, sponge
Since his girlfriend experienced side effects from birth control pills in the past, she and James chose to use the sponge . It’s available over the counter, so it’s easy to get. She puts it in and he usually can’t feel it during sex. What he can feel, though, is his girlfriend and that’s important […]
AJ, 23, implant
AJ’s girlfriend started on the ring , but it wasn’t quite right for her, so after about a year she switched to the implant (also known by its brand name Nexplanon, formerly Implanon). The implant was inserted under his girlfriend’s skin and can last up to 5 years. (AJ says 3 years in the video, […]
Matt, 24, cervical cap
Matt’s girlfriend tried an IUD and the pill , but her body had a hard time adjusting to them and they diminished her sex drive. That’s when she asked about non-hormonal methods and her doctor recommended the cervical cap . For Matt, it feels a lot like using nothing at all and creates a sense […]
Andre, 29, fertility awareness
Fertility awareness is au naturel family planning. Andre appreciates that there’s nothing to take, use, or buy (except maybe a thermometer or period-tracking calendar app). His wife simply keeps track of her menstrual cycle to determine which days she can get pregnant and which days are safe for as much spontaneous sex as they want. […]
Adrian, 24, withdrawal
Adrian uses condoms to protect himself against STIs when he needs to, but he doesn’t really like the feeling of them. So when he’s in a committed relationship he uses withdrawal aka the pullout method . Risky? You bet. It requires him to keep a clear head in the most heated of moments. The way […]
Jim, 29, sterilization
Some couples are sure they don’t want to have children. That’s the case for Jim and his fiancée, so she went ahead and had her tubes tied. Since tubal ligation is pretty close to permanent, Jim was careful not to influence her decision. (He wanted her to be free from any pressure.) After the procedure, […]
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. […]
Scott, 29, the patch
Scott and his girlfriend started with condoms until they both got tested for STIs. After that, she started with birth control pills , but moved on to the patch . He thinks it’s more convenient than having to take a pill every day. At first he was concerned about whether it would stick on her […]
