Black market birth control? Let's go with no... -
From our latest “Get on Top” article:
While not everyone agrees that birth control pills should be available over-the-counter in the U.S., it’s clear that there’s a demand for effective methods women can use without a prescription. How else to explain recent stories about women buying birth control on Craigslist and the yerberias of Arizona? …Selling prescription birth control methods online or in corner shops without a license may not be legal, but what do we know about whether it’s safe?
i’m just gonna leave this here…
What’s that sound?

“Formicophilia is sex play with ants. Or, more specifically, it’s enjoying the sexual sensation of ants or bugs crawling or nibbling on your genitals. So, formicophiliacs won’t be the ones moving the picnic blanket to get away from the bugs. They’ll be the ones who are totally fine with ants in their pants.” — From our latest “Fetish Friday” Frisky Friday.

Attending your baby shower reminded me that I needed to take my birth control pill.

Whatever it takes, we say. But if you want something more reliable (and fun) than the average baby shower, we recommend pill reminders instead.
From our latest Get on Top:
In terms of effectiveness, not all birth control methods are created equal. And if there was any doubt as to which methods stand out in that arena, an article by the folks behind the Contraceptive CHOICE Project (just published in the New England Journal of Medicine) should put it to rest. The researchers found that when cost and lack of information aren’t an issue, women are way more likely to choose a super-effective method of birth control like the IUD or the implant. This is great news since the researchers also found that those methods are way less likely to fail than other methods.
Yum.

Turns out Americans don't actually think birth control is controversial -
From the just-as-we-suspected files, looks like birth control isn’t so controversial in the U.S. after all. According to a new Gallup poll:
Eighty-two percent of U.S. Catholics say birth control is morally acceptable, nearing the 89% of all Americans and 90% of non-Catholics who agree. The level of acceptability on this issue is far greater than that of the other 17 issues Gallup asked about this year.
