Ooooh, a sexual health topic.
I'm hoping all of you are familiar with contraception and birth control and the importance of using protection when engaging in sexual activity. Methods include abstinence, the use of condoms, diaphragm, spermicide, birth control pills, patch, depo provera shot, withdrawal AKA the pull-out method (which is not very effective and I highly advice against) IUD, the morning after pill (which should not be used as a primary form of birth control but only for emergency purposes) etc. All methods are used to prevent unwanted pregnancy but only the condom or abstinence can prevent the transmittal of STDs. Anyway, which is your primary method of contraception and birth control? Do you have anything to share about your experience with your chosen method? The reason I ask is because I am looking to get on either the pill, the patch or the shot but I'm concerned about the side effects, inconveniences, and cost. Oh, and my chosen method of protection is using condoms and occasionally VCF (Vaginal Contraceptive Film). I'm sure you guys are already familiar with how condoms work. As for VCF, my experience with it has been somewhat frustrating and frightening. I've had difficulty putting it in correctly and I fear that it may not be protecting well. |
