Who should think about contraception in pairs, a man or a woman? Adult people should equally be responsible for this intimate process and understand what the consequences might be if neglecting simple rules of contraception. Please note, there are many means and methods of contraception, and we are free to choose them ourselves, without waiting for an initiative from a man!
We are all grown-up people, I would like to think so, even if sex is normal for us, and therefore it would be good to initially agree on plans for the future. Therefore, as each partner's plans may differ, and surprises are not needed by anyone, pay attention to the many existing means and methods of contraception before engaging in sex.
Reliability - first of all
Choose the most reliable, therefore as here mistakes are inadmissible. Unfortunately, many do not think so. Men often do not think about how events can develop if a girl (a beloved or just a sex partner) is pregnant. Only when this is a fait accompli, the man thinks about what can be done. And the way out, as a rule, is the only one - abortion. Men, do you need such surprises? And suddenly you will be taken into circulation by the girl's relatives, and you will have to marry, but this was not part of your plans? This happens, too. Therefore, it is in your best interest to ensure that sex remains a pleasant occupation, and not a source of problems. Especially if sex was accidental. A casual sex - this is a common phenomenon in our society, unfortunately, experiencing a belated "sexual" revolution.
But still, since only a woman can become pregnant, she first of all should think how to protect herself from the undesirable consequences of unprotected sex.
On what methods of contraception is worth paying attention to, from all the ways, drugs and means, which there is a great variety? Which of them is preferable? Please note that there are many different methods and methods of contraception, so it is best to consult a gynecologist and not to try on the experience of your friends.
For starters, it is good to learn that such methods of contraception, as "interrupted sexual intercourse" and "calendar method" does not exist, douching after sexual intercourse will not help either. It should be remembered that a woman does not have a single safe day in a month when she can not become pregnant. This, of course, does not mean that every sexual act must end with pregnancy, but this possibility is always available.
We put "barriers" - we protect ourselves from everything!
The most accessible and widely used method of contraception is the barrier method. Note that there are a lot of condoms - with means to improve the senses, and with additional methods of contraception - for example, spermicide lubrication. It is very important that condoms, unlike other methods, are protected from unwanted pregnancy, as well as from sexually transmitted diseases. And nothing shameful in that most to offer a condom to the partner (especially - casual) - is not present. Moreover, you can turn it into a game or fun, hint that "these are the ones you like most." Experiment and study your sensuality - even those women who do not usually like condoms, you can choose several types that will not reduce the pleasure of sex, but on the contrary, even increase it.
Spirals and hormones
Those who are confident in each other should pay attention to other existing means and methods of contraception, which are now numerous. For couples of families who already have children, it may be advisable to protect themselves with intrauterine contraceptives (spirals). This method is not suitable for women who have inflammatory diseases of the internal sex organs. In this case it is possible to advise hormonal contraceptives.
Wise advice of a doctor ...
Manufacturers of hormonal contraceptives are advised to undergo a thorough examination before starting the drug. Women who are protected by this method, which of you underwent such a survey? I'm sure it's one. To me personally, the doctor just wrote on the scrap of paper several drugs, one of which (!) Can be used to protect against unwanted pregnancy. Whether the doctor really believes that the side effect does not matter much and does not send for examination, or is there a question about saving money for medical care ... What can I say?
Everyone should think about his own health first and obey the advice of doctors. For those who already have children and do not wish to become pregnant and give birth, there is a radical method of protection - sterilization. Sterilization can be subjected to both a man and a woman, but, for such an operation, people do not dare very rarely. Why? It seems that we do not want to have more children, but we should always have a choice, and suddenly we change our mind, and sterilization is an irreversible operation ... So it turns out that we seem to be engaged in sex only for pleasure, but we finally try to lose the main opportunity only in the last resort and strictly according to the doctor's testimony.
