I forget what the procedure is called, but my wife had a small bit of metal inserted into her abdomen. Makes pregnancy impossible, lasts 10 years, and is removable at any time. This might be useful information for some. I don't usually give the "medicine companies only want profit" conspiracy theories, but I feel like few people have heard of this because there's no profit in a 100% effective treatment that lasts a decade.

Are you talking about an IUD?

Just make sure you get the results of the "after" sample test before not using condoms. I've talked about this previously, but Aussie's vasectomy didn't work. The Navy gave him the run around as far as having another procedure done, so I had surgery about two years ago to get my fallopian tubes removed (yes totally removed and I have photos since it was a laparoscopic surgery:eek:).

I know plenty of people with IUDs, but like all things, they aren't for everyone.

Like all things, it's not 100% effective, but it is pretty close. Less than 1% of women with a copper IUD (which I assume is what you mean) get pregnant, and 2%-10% expel the device (making it no longer work for birth control) within the first year, usually within the first months, which is why it's important to monitor carefully during that time.

If he's talking about an IUD, he's wrong about the "few people have heard of this" theory. It's one of the most widely-used form of reversible long-term contraceptives around. Nearly a quarter of a billion people use them.

Straying into Politics here. I'm tempted to spin this off into the Politics sub, but when looking not sure where to start. Maybe we need a separate "Let's Talk About Sex" thread. (I was going to say let's talk frank about sex, but figured I'd give Frank a big head. Not that head. You guys have dirty minds.

Talking about how people definitely know about IUDs strays into politics? I mean I guess if you want to call going from a lube discussion to birth control discussion, but I don't think anyone strayed into OMG EVERYONE SHOULD USE BIRTH CONTROL politics territory. Even my link was just an example of IUDs being quite well known. Maybe spin off everything from the lube conversation to here to a general sex thread, but not in the politics thread.

Without protection? Coconut oil. TRUSSSST MEEEEEEEE. Totally natural, no stickiness and smells great!

With protection, Astroglide was OK but sliquid is amazing. I'm a huge fan of their H2O brand.

I have read somewhere that some food-grade oils are safe. Probably should have different stocks; wouldn't want to cross-contaminate. ;)

What the hell? I'm older than some of those women, and I know those terms.


Maybe I'm just a bad person ;)

It always baffles me how, in this day and age of information and perversion, that there are still adult (yet not elderly) innocent souls who don't know about the things I knew about in 1992. It wouldn't surprise me if at least one of those moms doesn't have an e-mail address, or at least not one they check (only one they had to have to make a facebook account).

I have to say, I wasn't expecting such....Vanilla terms to be baffling. I mea,n I'm fairly sure I could guess what the money shot would be in a porn movie even if I didn't know.
