Women have many birth control options ranging from
The Pill to the
IUCs, but men can only rely on condoms to prevent pregnancy. There is another more invasive option though — a
vasectomy. Although this seems like a procedure for older men, it turns out that more and more
young men are opting for this minor surgery.

Dear Sugar,
I have a rather strange irrational fear. Even though I am on hormonal birth control, use condoms, and never miss a period, I continually fear that I'll somehow magically get pregnant. This fear is quite literally taking over my life, not to mention ruining my otherwise wonderful sex life with my fiancé.

If condoms are your primary form of birth control, for both
pregnancy and
STI prevention, then you'll be happy to know there's a new thin condom on the market.
Lifestyles Skyn pledges to be the "closest thing to wearing nothing." Well that sounds inviting, doesn't it?

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.

If you're not a fan of hormonal birth control, your options are limited when it comes to staying pregnancy-free.
Condoms are an easy choice to stay protected when you're not in a committed relationship, but I've been hearing more and more married couples say that condoms are their preferred method of birth control, too. Of course to each their own, but isn't one of the perks of being in a committed marriage (one that's clear of STIs) that you don't have to fuss with interrupting the moment to find a condom?
