Prepare to be grossed out.
Is this reproductive coercion?
This is so messed up.
So you agree? You think you're really silly?
Check yourself before you... get pregnant.
*rolls eyes so hard they disappear into my head*
If you have a phone and wifi, you could have birth control too.
Your prayers have been answered.
It's about time guys share the burden, am I right?
You may want to break up with the pill too.
What would you do if your school took away health insurance?
A scary story like this is almost enough to make you want to put away your pills.
Those little pills that keep you sane when your period is a few days late aren't foolproof.
Good news for ugly dudes, bad news for everyone else, ever.
There are far too many women who way more than 165 pounds for this to be an issue.
So CC's lovely editor Alex was browsing Reddit this week and came across this post, with a guy asking if it was unreasonable to ask his girlfriend of four years to give him a blow job without a condom. My initial thoughts? That must taste weird, very latex-y and possibly like spermicide.
So Alex and I were watching Modern Family on Hulu and all of a sudden a commercial popped up for NuvaRing. We thought it would be a normal commercial where they ramble off side effects and what not. FALSE.
Access to free birth control leads to low teen birth and abortion rates. After letting 9,000 mostly poor and/or uninsured women in the city choose what type of contraception they'd use if it were free, researchers found that women that have access to free contraception don't get pregnant as often.
Do you feel well informed about your rights to abortion? Or overwhelmed by opinion and debate?
I know I am not a slut, but is it possible to enjoy myself without others labeling me that way?
Meghan McCain used to really bother me. I thought the only reason she had become a well known political commentator was because her father, John McCain, was a prominent politician. It's obvious that she's worked hard to brand herself as a new, young voice of the Republican party. This interview she just did with Playboy is an example of that – she has some good things to say, but she's trying hard to seem cool and relatable.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately (which is totally possible, it is midterm season), you’ve heard about all of the controversy surrounding birth control. From Congress to the presidential debates to Twitter to Facebook, everybody is talking about birth control, who should have access to it, and how they should get that access.
How many of us have been in a situation where we're hooking up and the guy just slides in without much warning? Or how many of us have encountered men who are absurdly petulant when their partner asks them to put one on? They always have a litany of excuses or justifications -- "It doesn't feel as good"/"I can't stay hard with one on"/"I'm clean, don't you trust me?"
After the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform filled a panel discussing President Obama's Affordable Care Act and the birth control mandate with only men, it's time to explain one thing. If you don't use birth control you probably don't fully understand it, am I right? Yes, and as such, many of the men who want to control your reproductive rights fail to realize the cost of birth control.
A federal appeals court knocked down California's Prop 8. President Obama backed off on a rule that would require religious organizations to provide their employees with health insurance covering birth control. The violence in Syria is getting worse and worse. Scientists say don't drive stoned. In an attempt to save their troubled economy, Greek Parliament passed a number of spending cuts on Sunday, leading to mass protests in Athens.
• The Sex Diaries Project is like Post Secret...in bed • Sexy Super Bowl ads and the stereotypes they perpetuate • Great news! Male birth control could happen soon
I'm a senior in college and have been in a serious relationship for the past 5 years. He's my high school sweetheart. I know, we're so cute! We just got engaged and are getting married when I graduate (he's two years older and is already working). Now that we're engaged, I want to go on birth control, but I'm not sure what to try. What do you recommend?
I was struck with complete disbelief after reading about a woman who, despite using multiple forms of birth control, keeps getting pregnant. Like, pregnant seven times in 5 years. Like, she and her husband only had sex three times since September and she's currently expecting another kid. Did I mention she's tried the Pill, condoms, injections and an IUD...and they still don't work?
