Among some young people and girls, you can often find the opinion that it is impossible to get pregnant after the first intercourse. This is not true. For the first time, the likelihood of conceiving a child, as well as contracting an infection, is no less than on other days. Therefore, it is important to know what methods of contraception exist and be able to use them correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most suitable methods of protection for the initiation of sexual activity is the barrier method. Condoms, when used correctly, can not only protect against unwanted pregnancies, but also against sexually transmitted infections. But for the reliability of this method to be high, you need to buy condoms in pharmacies, since the risk of purchasing a low-quality product is lower there. It is also important to use condoms correctly. They should be worn before intercourse, and removed only after completion. The barrier method also includes vaginal diaphragms, cervical caps, contraceptive sponges. These funds are used by women: before intercourse, any of them must be inserted into the vagina. Their efficiency ranges from 50 to 85%. But the use of diaphragms, caps and sponges can cause allergies. Therefore, before using it, you need to consult a doctor.
Step 2
As a means of protection, you can use special suppositories and pastes, which are inserted into the vagina 10 to 15 minutes before the start of intercourse. When using such funds, a special foam is formed that kills sperm. Immediately after the end of intercourse, you need to take a shower to remove the remaining funds. If you carefully follow the instructions on the package, then the reliability of this method is quite high.
Step 3
Coitus interruptus is most popular among couples about to have sex. But, unfortunately, this method of protection is the most unreliable. First, a man constantly has to be in a state of tension in order to be able to react in time. There is always the danger of uncontrolled premature ejaculation. Secondly, a small amount of sperm is released during intercourse itself, so the likelihood of an unplanned pregnancy is very high. In addition, with protection by interrupted intercourse, partners cannot fully relax, and this can affect the quality of the sex itself.
