Birth Control - A.

Hey everyone! I'm still a little weak from being sick, and I was up early this morning, so this post will not be as long as my others. But stay tuned for part two of the erotica story I'm working on! It's getting good!

I just wanted to briefly address birth control. A friend of S. and I inspired this one. Her and her boyfriend are sexually active, do not want kids, and are too young and poor to raise one adequately. But so far the only forms of control they've tried is him pulling out right before he orgasms. Let's call them Dumb and Dumber. Dumber (the female) should be more responsible, but from me and S. talking to her, it is obvious that she has not been taught anything about sexuality or the human body at all, let alone birth control. To stop people from being like Dumb and Dumber, I am going to make the following announcement:

SEX COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITIES AND IF YOU DONT RESPECT THEM YOU WILL SUFFER

I am going to list out all the forms of birth control I have heard and learned about. Some of these are bad some are good. I'll be sure to include my notes on each. Please, for the love of pete, if you are going to have sex and don't want a child just yet practice good birth control. Don't be ignorant.

Method number one: Pulling Out
This is the method that will make me give you a stupid nickname on here (like, oh, I dunno, Dumb and Dumber). Pulling out IS NOT A GOOD FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL. It is baaaaad. The male pre-ejaculate, which is the small amount of fluid that leaks from the end of the penis during intense arousal, can contain small amounts of sperm. This fluid does not require an orgasm to discharge, and during extended sessions that small amount can add up. Sometimes men will begin to ejaculate a second or two before the rush of an orgasm. This can mean that he may pull out right before the "big O", but his sperm will be in you nonetheless. And what happens if you two both get caught up in the heat of the moment and forget to make him pull out? If you were both reaching the end of a good long sex session, you were nearing some great orgasms, and you were both really turned on and desperate, it would be easy to say "screw it, just fuck me!". Also a man can accidentally ejaculate near your vagina while he is pulling out or even after he has pulled out. It takes lots of practice to accurately aim ejaculate, and most men have not done any experimentation with that. Maybe he ejaculates at a downward angle? What if some drips off and onto miss vagina down there after he's done shooting his load?
Pulling out has a success rate. It is lower than almost all other birth control methods. Those are the reasons why. It is not a reliable birth control method in any way. The only method less successful than pulling out is cumming and ejaculating inside the girl with no protection and just crossing your fingers that she doesn't get pregnant.

Method number two: Condoms.
Good ol rubbers! These are cheap and generally reliable. Condoms are very effective when used correctly. You want to find one that is made by a trusted brand (if you really aren't sure, go with a large company like Trojan. And try to buy them in a pharmacy or large store. Those vending machines in gas stations are not the place to turn for quality products). Now use it properly! Be sure to get one that will fit well and not be too tight or too loose. Too tight will choke your penis, too loose will let it spray like a fire hose inside the girl. Once you've gotten the fit it's time for application. Take it out of it's little package and throw the wrapping away (no need to litter even in the heat of the moment. And it keeps from advertising to your kids/friends/family that you just had sex). Make sure your penis is at least most of the way hard. If it's not, put the condom aside and get a good blowjob, handjob, or other form or foreplay until you are. Once you have a firm cock, take the little ring of a condom and get to work! pinch the top to create a small pocket. THIS IS IMPORTANT. You don't want the condom to fit snugly all across the head of your cock like you've saran-wrapped it. The condom should be snug to your shaft, but you need to make sure you pinch the top off so there's some excess. Then roll the rest of the covering on. Try practicing on a phallic object if you've never done this before. It'll help you become smoother at applying it when the moment is upon you. You'll look cooler and be safer!
Now I know it's more fun to ride bareback, and condoms can seem expensive. But babies are VERY expensive. And time-consuming. So just weigh it out before you do something impulsive.

Method number three: "The Pill"
This is something you should see a doctor for. Seriously. And I'll tell you why you should.
Contraceptive pills are a great invention. They are for females, and use hormones to inhibit ovulation, which in layman's terms means that it stops the possibility for pregnancy. There are quite a few companies who manufacture these pills, and they have a variety of side effects and ingredients. You should talk to a doctor who knows you to find out which one will be best for you and what the risks are of taking it. I will not pretend to know which one is best for everyone. S. might be able to tell you all more on this later.
The beauty of these is that it's a once-a-day pill that is very effective at preventing pregnancy. You take it in the morning or afternoon daily and you are free to screw around all night long with as much sperm and you can handle. Literally, you can have someone make a creampie inside your pussy and be just fine. No physical protection needed, no condoms to apply, nothing. Just a little pill. Beautiful.

Method number four: Surgery
There are two common and safe surgeries that will basically make you sterile. One is a vasectomy, the other tubal ligation. They close off the tubes that lead from a man's testicles or a woman's ovaries. This method is expensive and has a moderate recovery time after the surgery, but is 100 percent effective for life. So yeah. All good.

Method number five: Intrauterine Device (IUD)
The IUD comes in hormonal and non-hormonal forms. One requires you to take hormones, the other you don't have to. I'm not very well versed in the hormonal IUD, so I'm going to say take it up with your doctor and/or other healthcare provider. All IUD's are essentially the same thing: a small device inserted into the opening of the cervix. They are made to block sperm from entering the opening and traveling any further. There are some minor risks involved, like a small amount of spotting and the like. But when inserted and cared for correctly, they are a very effective form of birth control.

Side note: Female Condoms
Female condoms are a lot like regular condoms, but a lot bigger. And more complicated. They look like a long thin plastic baggie. You apply them by opening it up and basically sticking it into your vagina with your finger. Then the guy pretty much fucks the bag. They are not as widely used, and since they're just sitting inside the (probably wet by this time) vagina can sometimes become loose and bunch up. Think about a tall sock falling down your legs. That's pretty much what it looks like. There's also the possibility that with weird folding and angles, one part can be rubbed down while the rest is just fine, and you won't notice that you aren't fully protected. And the guy could accidentally shove his cock outside of the bag, so it would be between the wall of the vagina and the outside of the condom. Because of all of these, I am not a huge fan of female condoms if regular condoms are available. But they do have a very good use!
I have heard of people using female condoms as anal condoms! The anus is a bit more of a uniform shape, and can be a bit more snug. So there's less chance of slippage. For preventing diseases, using a female condom as an anal condom is genius!

I know I did not cover every single method of birth control known to mankind. I skipped over things like spermicides because they can be dangerous, and there are lots of untested home remedies that may or may not work.

Have some safe fun tonight people!!!
