Birth Control


The band of latex at the open end of a male condom helps to keep it from slipping during intercourse. (http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/condom.htm).
             After ejaculating, withdraw the penis before losing the erection. To keep sperm from leaking out, hold the condom on the penis during withdrawal. Throw away the condom and use a new one if sex continues. Maintain distance between you and your partner's genitals to help prevent infection or pregnancy. Sperm may still be on the penis after the condom is taken off. (http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/condom.htm).
             The most common causes of condom failure are breakage and slipping. To prevent a condom from breaking, make sure there is enough lubrication from natural secretions or a water-based lubricant. Dryness creates more friction and can tear a condom. To keep a condom from slipping off, make sure the rim stays near the base of the penis during intercourse. This is especially important at the end of intercourse as the penis is withdrawn. Either partner can hold onto the rim. (http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/condom.htm) The average cost for condoms are $.25 for dry non-lubricated condoms, $.50and up for lubricated, and $2.50 and up for plastic, animal tissue, and textured condoms. But remember some family planning centers and health clinics will give them away for free or extremely cheap. (http://www.plannedparenthood.org/teenissues/bcchoices.html).
             There is a chance that male condoms could break or slip during sex. If this occurs, women may consider taking Emergency Contraception or the 'Morning After' Pill to prevent pregnancy. Pregnancy can be prevented after intercourse by taking Emergency Contraceptive pills (EC). EC is commonly known as the "Morning After" Pill. It works by giving the body a short, high, burst of synthetic hormones. This disrupts hormone patterns needed for pregnancy. EC disturbs the ovaries and the development of the uterine lining, making pregnancy less likely.
