8. Going By Her Cycle
Why this method of contraception persists is anybody’s guess, because frankly it’s a fool’s game. No matter what stage of her menstrual cycle she’s at, if you have sex without a condom, she can get pregnant. Sperm can survive in a woman’s body for up to five days, so all you’re doing by going by the calendar is reducing your risk – not eliminating it. If you wouldn’t play Russian Roulette, then don’t play with fertility awareness, no matter how many apps calculate a ‘safe window’ for you. They are lying, and you don’t need to take the risk.
