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 7-- a girl cant get prenant in a hot tub as sperm cant survive in warm water
MYTH 8-- if a girl sneezes after sex she won't get pregnant [save the kleenex!]
MYTH 9-- a girl cant get prenant on her period
MYTH 10-- drinking mountain dew will lower his sperm count

FACT : none of these myths are true, not even close. 90% of girls who dont use birth control -as in real doctor approved methos like the pill or condoms- will get pregnant within a year of being sexually active. so use protection.

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

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."
