Birth control details are as important to me in sex education as sex technique and connection. I was talking with Olivia the other day, discussing our plan to steer clear of pregnancy for her despite the fact that we have sex part of the month without condoms. First, Olivia is on birth control, however, we're aware that birth control is not perfect, so we still follow the pattern of her cycle, called popularly, the rhythm method. We have sex without condoms, as you saw in my last blog post with her, after her menstrual flow has stopped, which for her cycle, is the first seven days or so of the month. Then we switch to condoms until that time again next month.

If He Pulls Out, Can I Get Pregnant?

Hi Dr. Betty,

I'm a huge fan, and can't even describe how much better my sex life has been since I read your books! I have two questions. The first regards birth control. I'm not on the pill (and am not interested in hormonal birth control). My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex for a bit, then put on a condom before he ejaculates. He lasts a long time and he has a lot of control over his ejaculation so I'm not worried about him cumming inside me. Is this risky as far as pregnancy goes?
