SEX AND CONTRACEPTION: ALTERNATIVE CONTRACEPTIVE
There is no such thing as the perfect contraceptive, so the best you can hope for is a fair compromise. Negotiating contraceptive options, like negotiating safer sex, takes some communication skills and a degree of self-confidence. That means knowing what your needs are, and what is non-negotiable for you. As an example, there is no point in a man deciding that the best alternative for him is for his partner to have an IUD inserted if she has no intention whatsoever of letting one anywhere near her.
There are some people who just can’t seem to find a contraceptive option that suits them. So the search for more alternatives continues, and the contraceptive options in the future will need to take into account more than reliability and safety. There is absolutely no point in a company expending enormous amounts of money and resources on a product that nobody wants to use, so the first step will always be to ask how this method fits into a person’s sex life.
