Age of consent is a load of bollox. Did you drink before you were 18, pete?
I was simply curious, I didn't expect to get the head ripped off me. I know people in their twenties who have being using "natural" methods since they were my age. The way some people are replying you'd swear i was a walking mattress...
well, no, i think most people were pointing out that
a)natural family planning methods are not the most reliable, especially when you're still in your teens and your cycle hasn't settled down - unless you're willing to spend a looot of time charting your temperature and analysing the consistency of your cervical mucus. oh, and not having penetrative sex at the time of the month when your body possibly reeeeally wants to do it.
b)natural methods do not protect against the wide variety of interesting diseases that are frolicking around out there.
c)pulling out is not an effective means of contraception. full stop.
that said, i know a couple of women of my geriatric vintage who use nfp, and it has worked for them, but even they say it's a lot of work, and not for everyone.
