What Do Young Men Know About Birth Control?

[red-ajah.livejournal.com]

I hope this is ok - I found an interesting article on RH (Reproductive Health) Reality Check which has a video asking men in the DC area what they know about female birth control. The article seeks to highlight some of the flaws in the reproductive health that is taught (and I wholeheartedly agree). The article is here and the video from the article below.

My fav part: With some sexuality education programs still separating classes by gender, limiting conversations about birth control and contraception (and the difference between the two), and with education focusing just on male condom use among men, are we really surprised that pregnancy prevention efforts are not working as well as they could? I’d be interested in knowing if the men interviewed could discuss how to properly use a male condom, demonstrate how to do that, and/or discuss the difference between the male condom and the female condom and how they are used.

And ingesting them is somehow much worse than absorbing those same 'chemicals' some other way.

I'm just amused by all the umming and ahhing and it reminds me of that beauty pageant contestent describing why Americans couldn't locate America on a map or something. Lots of crap, but no real substance.

I love it how one of the guys was like "um, ahh, i think.. um, it prevents ovulation..", compared to the one who seemed really sure of his answer that HBC "destroys fertility".

I love the 'destroys fertility' quote XD. Sure makes you think how highly some of these men regard women who go on the pill ><. Pouring these noxious chemicals into our body XD.

He makes the pill sound downright sinister, lol!
