Plus it is much cheaper to buy condoms and something else (foam, sponge, so on) than it is for Plan B three time a month (yes, three times, once for every weekend, the other week she had her period so she knew she was okay). Plan B is $50 but you can buy it in bulk from www.drugstore.com with no prescription. I blame abstinence only sex education and lack of good information on how our bodies work for people abusing Plan B, let alone the idiocy of not being aware of sexual activity or protection due to alcohol and drug abuse.
Oh and here's a funny, right next to the register of my pharmacy is the sexual health area (Plan B, condoms, pregnancy & ovulation tests) and right next to the Plan B is a paternity test! The package has all kinds of information for using it for legal purposes in court, but wouldn't going on Maury be cheaper? |
I was waiting for this to come up. the first bolded part, that ish bugs me out. if you were that messed up that you cant remember having sex, there are problems. even more so if there isnt anyone around who was coherent enough to recall it for you.
doesnt popping Plan Bs after a wild and irresponsible night (or even as a "just in case") fall under recreational drug use, minus the high?
and as to the 2nd bolded part: eww, 3x a month? that has GOT to eff up your insides.
on an unrelated note, is there a way, medically, for sperm to be "deactivated" through drugs? i could imagine this would lead Joe Schoe to hit it raw all the time, but why should the woman take the brunt of altering her body when all the guy has to do is "wrap it up" (and then some of them mess that up)?
