Gift certificates and gift cards may seem like a risky investment because some
newly bankrupt companies refuse to honor outstanding gift cards, but apparently there's an even more controversial gift option on the market this year. Planned Parenthood in Indiana is
offering gift certificates for the first time ever. The organization said a big increase in calls and visits from newly unemployed and uninsured citizens prompted what it deems the "unusual, yet practical" gift option.

So you hate that
condoms make sex less enjoyable and you despise being on
hormones because they make you moody. So what's a girl to do about preventing pregnancy? Maybe you've considered the
Today Sponge.

I've heard of Roman Catholics not believing in birth control, but now a new
Roman Catholic pharmacy in Virginia doesn't believe in selling it. Divine Mercy Care Pharmacy isn't the only one letting their faith lead their business. Seven other pharmacies across the nation are doing the same.

I am so grateful for all the
different kinds of birth control on the market. Since women have a variety of needs, we're lucky to have such an array of methods to choose from to fit all of our lifestyles. So let's see what you know about some popular forms of contraception.

The school board in Gloucester, Massachusetts, the city of pregnancy-pact fame, is set to
vote on a plan to distribute contraceptives to students. If passed, the schools and the students could enter a secret-contraception pact without parents knowing — in other words the schools would distribute condoms and such to students without parental consent.
Despite
well-publicized rumors that 17 high school girls in the city decided to have children and raise them together, the mayor favors distributing contraceptives only with parental consent.

Since the pill has such a long list of benefits, it's no wonder so many of us have
been on it for as long as we have. But with that said, I'm sure you've wondered if you should take a break to give your body a chance to be pill-free for a while. While it's popular to think that a break from the pill is beneficial for your body, it's actually
not necessary. It's a myth that may have started a while back with older pills that contained high doses of hormones, but today's pills contain a much lower, safer amount.
Whatever the reason you initially started the pill, the decision was probably a pretty significant and personal one. Some women I know have been on the pill since high school, while others only tried it out recently. What about you?

While fumbling for a condom has been known to kill the mood, we have to appreciate them for the freedom they give people every day to enjoy some hanky panky. If you think you know everything there is to know about these invaluable drugstore items, then take my quiz and find out. Good luck!

Following on the heels of America's
most depressed states, a new study published in
Forbes.com reveals America's most lustful cities, and they may not be what you were expecting. I was expecting to see San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas, or even Miami, but in fact those famous cities don't even make the list! Surprisingly, Denver, Colorado takes the number one spot; maybe it's all that cold weather.
