The demonstration on ‘how to use a condom’ often involving a vegetable resembling the penis, most times a cucumber, will forever be etched in many of our minds. The demonstration, a staple in many sex education classes, is a great start to understanding safe sex. However, it doesn’t stop there. There are many methods of preventing pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases that aren’t often spoken about openly in our communities.
In this article, we discuss options for preventing pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. However, please conduct your own research and speak with your health provider for more information. It is important to explore options that work best for you. What works for one person may not work for others. The following birth control methods are listed via PlannedParenthood.org.
