Male Contraceptives 08

Introduction : What is a contraceptive?

There are many kinds of contraceptives,the male and female ones. They are both very efficient but work in different ways. We're going to work on the male ones.

Contraception (birth control) prevents pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation. There are different kinds of birth control that act at different points in the process.

Cervical cap with spermicide : Soft rubber cup that fits around the cervix, obtained by prescription

Condom : Latex or polyurethane sheath placed over erect penis, widely available in drugstores. Applied immediately before intercourse, for single use. Best protection against sexually transmitted diseases.

Spermicide alone : A foam, cream, jelly, film, or suppository, or tablet containing nonoxynol-9. Depending on product, inserted between five and 90 minutes before intercourse; usually left in place at least six to eight hours after.

Withdrawal : Having intercourse, but removing the male penis before ejaculation. Not recommended for teens, and some seminal fluid leaks before ejaculation, making it an ineffective method of birth control.
