What is it? |
Why doesn't it work? |

Periodic
Abstinence
"Rhythm"
"Calendar
Method" |
When a couple
decide not to have sex during the days a woman is more
likely to become pregnant based on her menstrual cycle. |
It is not
reliable for adolescents, because a female's menstrual cycle
is not regular enough to predict when she will ovulate each
cycle. |

Withdrawal
"Pull &
Pray"
"Pull
Out" |
It is when the
penis is pulled out of the vagina just before ejaculation. |
Before
ejaculation some fluid that has sperm may be released into
the vagina without the male knowing. Ladies do you really
trust that the male will have the self-control, and
knowledge of when to pull out? I don't think so! |
|
Douching |
Douching is
washing out the vagina with fluids. Females believe that by
douching after sex it will kill or wash out the sperm that
is in the vagina. |
Sperms are
fast critters, and they may reach the cervix just seconds
after ejaculation. To make it worse, douching might also
help the sperms reach the cervix. |
|
Urinating
after sex |
Urinating
right after sex with the belief that urine will kill or wash
away the sperm. |
Guess what
ladies, where you urinate and where you have sex, are two
different pathways. Urine goes through the urethra and
sperm enters the vagina. The two shall never meet. |
