10 weirdest myths about birth control
MYTH 1-- a girl can't get pregnant the first time [ sex works the 1st,2nd, and 100th time.]
MYTH 2-- pregnancy can be prevented by douching with sode [forget it, theres a reason you won't find diet coke next to condoms in drugstores
MYTH 3-- a girl won't get pregnant if she doesn't have an orgasm [nope, sexual excitement has zero to do with pregnancy risk]
MYTH 4-- if a girl has sex standing up sht won't get pregnant because sperm can't travel upstream
MYTH 5-- a girl wont get pregnant if the guy pulls out before he ejaculates [nope. pre-ejactulte the fluid released before a guy has an orgasm contains sperm, a few thousand in fact.]
MYTH 6-- the rhythm method, only having sex on certain days of the girls cycle is an effective method of birth control [heres a not so funny joke we heard: what do you call people who use the rhythm method? parents. get it ? *means it doesnt work*]

"MYTH 1-- a girl can't get pregnant the first time"

That reminds me of that Degrassi episode with Manny and Craig. He thought she was taking the pill and she thought he used a condom, big mistake there. But she was like, "THE PILL??? That was my first time!" So... yeah. :) Thanks for typing this all out for us.

Actually, it's been changed recently. It really is STI, because things like herpes or crabs aren't diseases per say, they're just infections.
How do I know? My best friend is in Insight Theatre, which is a group of teenagers working in partnership with Planned Parenthood who do dramatic skits about sex, racism, peer pressure, sexuality, and STIs in high schools across Ontario, Canada. :)

P.S. Those people who are saying "it's rude to preach sex-ed stuff..."blahblahblah wouldn't be saying that if they got an STD.

Ohh yes. I remember that. He thought she said "It's okay." Meaning she was on the pill, when she only said it was okay for them to have sex. Ahh that was smart of them.

Also, when I meet the girl who thinks about the Pythagorean theorem during sex, I'm going to marry her.

Also also, one of the little come back things kind of bothered me.

QUOTE
" if you dont i'll find someone who will" ----» "go ahead. im sure the girls are knocking down your door"


If your boyfriend actually uses that, you shouldn't just go for the double bluff and hope he backs down; you should dump him on the spot. You don't want to be with a guy who cares more about sex than your relationship. And even though he'd probably be bluffing, I know that if I were a girl I wouldn't want a boyfriend who gave me ultimatums like that.

MYTH 6-- the rhythm method, only having sex on certain days of the girls cycle is an effective method of birth control [heres a not so funny joke we heard: what do you call people who use the rhythm method? parents. get it ? *means it doesnt work*]

i didnt feel like going through all the pages, so sorry if someone already mentioned this, but its actually STI.

QUOTE
Infection simply means that a germ – virus, bacteria, or parasite – that can cause disease or sickness is present inside a person’s body. An infected person does not necessarily have any symptoms or signs that the virus or bacteria is actually hurting their body (they do not necessarily feel sick).

A disease means that the infection is actually causing the infected person to feel sick, or to notice something is wrong.

For this reason, the term STI – which refers to infection with any germ that can cause an STD, even if the infected person has no symptoms – is a much broader term than STD."
