Sex Ed....Your Questions Welcome!

167 Answers Recently I have been appalled at what people do and do not know about sex, about birth control, about pregnancy. One of our fine members here, Altenweg (Alty for short), gave me an idea to start a thread about sex ed. As a labor and delivery nurse, I thought it might be a good idea to take her advice to heart and help all people who really are not sure how this all works. Please go ahead and ask away! |

| That's the sad thing. Birth control pills give a false sense of security, 98.7% effective, well, that's not 100%. I have a friend who has endomitriosis, one ovary, polysystic ovarian disease and many other health problems. She was told she'd never have children but her and her boyfriend tried anyway, they had two, the doctor said they were lucky. Well, her boyfriend (soon to be hubby) was due to go in for a vasectomy, they decided two was enough, but until the procedure, she went on the pill and they used condoms. Guess what, she's now pregnant with her third, due in January. In other words, if you're relying on birth control, you're putting your faith in something that isn't always effective, it's still very possible to get pregnant. Abstinence is the only thing that works 100%, I doubt that they'll ever come up with a fool proof pill or other form of contraceptive, and even if they do, there's still human error. Bottom line, don't want a baby, don't have sex. Also, STD's are always a possibility, even when you use a condom, condoms aren't anywhere near 100% effective and the chance of human error is even higher. Most people don't use condoms correctly, even if they did there's still a chance of failure. | ||||

| Ok this is cool, I have 2 questions 1. Are there certain sexual positions that can help to conceive? 2. Does acheiving orgasm during sex help you conceive? I know the answer to one of them...  | ||||

2. Yes. The orgasm helps to propel the sperm up past the cervix and into the uterus. | ||||

| But only one sperm fertilizes the egg- | ||||

| Yes but for that one sperm to fertilize the egg there has to be a couple million to get there and make the hole for that one sperm...that's why people have to "try" to get pregnant... | ||||
