Revision as of 13:59, 24 May 2010
I also created a cp on this one...i'll go see...162.82.215.199 13:50, 10 March 2008 (EDT)Here's what I got axed for on CP:
Contraception (Lat. against conception) generally refers to methods of preventing pregnancy (birth control). There are many different methods, each having its own level of effectiveness and safety. The safest and only completely effective form of birth control is abstinence. The argument could be made that this is not actually "birth control" as there was never a risk for a pregnancy, but in common parlance, abstinence is the first line of protection. Except for condoms, most methods offer little protection against sexually transmitted diseases.[1] and many STD's can be passed even with condom use as well,[citation needed] although the probabilities are usually reduced.
Barrier Methods
- Male condom: latex condoms are the most effective method of preventing STDs. 85% effective against pregnancy, increased to 95% if used with intravaginal spermicide - higher effectiveness (99%) when used as directed.
- Female Condom
- Sponge: 85% effectiveness
- Cervical cap: about 85% effectiveness
- Diaphragm: about 84% effectiveness
- Shield: 85% effectiveness
Hormonal Methods
- Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCPs): 92-99% effective when used as directed
- Depoprogesterone (Depo-Provera): 97% effective
- Vaginal ring (Nuva Ring): 92% effective
- "Rhythm method" (also sometimes referred to as a method of "timed abstinence"): low effectiveness
- Patch: 99.7% effective
Other
- Copper Intrauterine device (IUD): 99% effectiveness
- Hormonal Intrauterine device: over 99% effectiveness
- Withdrawal: low effectiveness
- Spermicide: about 70% effectiveness when used alone
- Male Sterilization
- Female Sterilization
Religious Perspectives
In general, the Catholic Church is opposed to contraception other than abstinence. Other Christian denominations vary. Jewish Law traditionally opposes birth control although it is generally held that as long as a couple is planning to have children, the concept of planned parenthood or spacing of births does not constitute a religious problem. Some methods of contraception are not permitted because of the injunction against "the destruction of seed." For example, contemporary Orthodox rabbinical authority has expressed no objection to the use of the OCP but the use of condoms is forbidden, as are some IUDs.[2] Islamic views are quite diverse; there is no single attitude to contraception within Islam, however eight of the nine classic schools of Islamic law permit it. Egyptian scholars have argued that any method that has the same purpose as 'azl (the withdrawal method), that is, preventing conception, is acceptable, so long as it does not have a permanent effect.[3]

merge?
I like most of what is above better than the way the article is currently set up. Anyone want to take on the chore of merging them? human

- Remember that I wrote if for CP, so we can sex it up a bit.--

Ouch!
Shouldn't it just be withdrawal of the penis before ejaculation? Removal of the penis seems awfully drastic.

- Not according to assfly.--
-PalMD --Do I look like I care? 17:42, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
- That was what it struck me as at first. Anyway, you (or someone) fixed it. This needed a lot of fixing... Hmmm. Should we list castration? human
18:04, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
- I'd also thought about castration (in the context of the article - not personally) and hysterectomy. Although they are effective at preventing conception the're hardly voluntary methods of birth control.
Genghis Marauding 18:08, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
- Yes, hysterectomy should also be on the list. Although not "done" only for birth control, it is a reliable "method". Also, we need to add a subsection to abstinence - "Waiting for menarche" human

Douching is not a method
It is not a method of birth control. I removed it; cite sources
http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/birth-control-contraceptive-myths
http://www.epigee.org/guide/none.html
http://getcloser.in/myths_pregnancy_Contraception.html
If you want to re-add it, it would do better on a page of 'Contraception Myths' Original number said it was 60% successful, it is not even close to that. Seems it would be maybe .5% effective at the most, and that would just be pure luck.
- Douching is also pretty bad for you, and not nearly as common as it once was. --Kels 21:41, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
- Yes... it should be in the article, but as mentioned, appropriately subheaded ("Useless methods"?). But since "withdrawal" is in there, with its really low usefulness rate ("grunt, grunt, oops, you're pregnant"), we should also cover ineffective methods in order to "debunk" them?

Success rate
I see that we give various percentages of "success rates" in the article for various types of contraception. Is "success rate" the best term to describe something which doesn't happen?--Bobbing up 13:23, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
- Would "prevention rate" be a better choice? human

Cover story
(Please do not archive this section)
This is going to look like shameless self-plugging, but what does the mob think of putting this on the front page as a random featured article? I believe that this article is informative enough in what people would need to know, and I cannot think of any significant ways in which this article can be expanded.

coughshamelessarticlepimpingcough. Just kidding. Yeah, sure, why not. What cat, though? The EmperorKneel before Zod! 14:27, 1 March 2009 (EST)
- I'm fine with it being featured content, but I have one small reservation in that, because of the way it's laid out, the opening section that's going to appear most prominently on the front page is abstinence, which possibly doen't give quite the right message about us as a site. Anyway, it's just a thought; if nobody else has a problem with it, then I don't either. Wèàšèìòìď

Implant
I am positive that the contraceptive implant is much more effective than 90%, more like 99% or more, as I just had one put in a week ago and I did plenty of research beforehand. I am quite busy and I shouldn't even be slacking off from my Engineering homework to even be reading this, so can someone find a source for the right number? I know that the vast majority of studies had 0 pregnancies, and they can attribute the few pregnancies to being there prior to implantation or to the times where the implant fell out of the needle before being inserted. Just thought I'd let you know so someone with more time on their hands could fix that! — Unsigned, by: 164.107.93.204 / talk / contribs 23:46, 10 March 2009
- I agree, you're probably correct. Both for Norplant and the injection... Depo Provera. Surely they are at least as effective as the Pill, taken correctly? ħuman

Latest edit about jebus
There are other reported virgin births, like Adonis or Attis. Possibly even Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great. Neveruse513 16:10, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

Coke heads and Revolting Cocks shows
I had a friend with a girlfriend who got knocked up and she insured inappropriate conditions by maintaining a high level o' drunkenness, intoxication on controlled substances, and getting her ass kicked at industrial shows in Chicago in the early 90s. Would the church approve? It was 100% effective. User:Nutty Roux/signature 03:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Re-defining birth control is needed, I think
if the definition is "the practice of taking steps to prevent pregnancy whilst engaging in sexual activity" then how does "Abstinence" (NOT engaging in sexual activity) being a form of birth control? Thieh 21:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- Abstinence perhaps needs to be more clearly defined - it does not mean "no sexual activity" so much as "no penis/vagina sex". Although it can mean the former, it doesn't have to. ħuman
21:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- I've reworded the intro to "the practice of taking steps to prevent pregnancy or childbirth as a result of sexual activity", which allows for the inclusion of abstinence as well as abortion, which I've added. I'm surprised it wasn't there already. ₩€₳$€£ΘĪÐ

Where else is abortion classified as a form of birth control?
I simply ask; I honestly don't know.--Earthland 20:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I've heard people say they aren't against abortion "except when people use it as a form of birth control". It's not contraception, obviously, but it certainly "controls" at least one birth. ħuman
20:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Wikipedia lists abortion as an uncommon method of birth control. --Earthland 21:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- When you ask "where else" - you mean in addition to here? Do we actually call it a method of contraception?--BobNot Jim 21:04, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- "Although most abortions are performed for birth control, they are by no means contraceptive." - from Contracept.org, emphasis added by me in response to the queries above. ₩€₳$€£ΘĪÐ
