Hmm..hope that title fits appropriately.
I have a friend who will be having sex for the first time in a couple of months. She is in her late 20's.
She's made the appt. to talk with a Dr. about birth control options. I told her to do a little reading on her own and talk to some other girlfriends for what they would recommend.
Tonight she asked me what "back-up" methods are. I can only think of two off hand...are there others I'm forgetting? Condoms & Spermicidal gel or foam and the diaphragm. You should have seen her face when she asked...umm..how exactly do you get that diaphragm thing in? Oh goodness. What else should I be telling her? I don't want to completely freak her out. I'm getting the feeling she knows very little about the subject other than what she learned clear back in high school health education.
She keeps approaching me with questions and I try my best to make her feel comfortable asking whatever she needs to know.
