Class notes: Methods that DON”T work:
Withdrawal: taking the penis out of the vaginia before ejaculation so that the sperm doesn’t go into her body. Withdrwawal can’t be counted on to prevent pregnancy because the man has a few drops of semen on the end of his penis as soon as it becomes erect. Even if he withdrawals before he ejaculates, sperm can get into the woman’s body and make her pregnant or transmit an STD. Couple’s shouldn’t rely on withdrawal since it requires them to interrupt sex exactly when they don’t want to.
Douching: After sex, the woman immediately washes out her vagina hoping to wash out and kill sperm. Sperm travel very quickly and some will already have moved through the cervix and into the uterus by the time a woman is able to douche.
Hoping: Beliving that “it can’t happen to me” doesn’t work. Sometimes people think that if they have sex once and don’t get pregnant, they can’t get pregnant. Just because a woman doesn’t get pregnant the first time, or the twentieth time, doesn’t mean she won’t get pregnant the next time.
Rhythm: A woman keeps track of her past menstrual cycles and tries to figure out the days when she is least likely to become pregnant. This method gives a woman a sense that she is “safe” when she is not. NO woman can really know what will happen in her next cycle. Illness, stress, fatigue can upset hormone system and cause ovulation to occur at an irregular time. Young women are especially likely to have irregular cycles.
