End the Silence About Sex and Contraception

Sponsored by: sexreally.com

"The reality is that people talk about getting pregnant after the fact, not before," a quote from one 23-year old.

Did you know that almost half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned? The truth is that communication about contraception can be awkward -- but not as awkward as telling a partner that you're pregnant.

There are a lot of questions we are afraid to ask: What will he think if she's prepared with condoms? Is she shy about insisting on contraception because she doesn't want him to think she doesn't trust him? Is he embarrassed to ask if she ever misses a pill?

Let's face it -- if it's hard for two people to talk openly about birth control, it would be a lot harder to have a child together.

Don't leave important, life-changing issues like having a baby unaddressed in your relationships. And don't forget to talk about sexually transmitted infections as well. End the silence by pledging to speak openly about sex and contraception today.

More information about sex for both girls and boys will make all conversations about sex more accurate and will avoid many unplanned pregnacies and sexually transmitted infections. Many parents do not know the correct information so the schools should be required to begin appropriate age related sex education instead of the inaccurate and misleading "Abstinence Only" or the earlier one of Nancy Raegan "Just Say No".
