by admin ~ March 31st, 2008. Filed under: Episodes.Wednesday, on In The Know: We’re talking birth control. We heard about a 30-dollar paternity test and opinions started flying.
Who’s responsible for birth control? The guy or the girl?
What about specific methods like the ring? Does anyone really want something up their yaya for months?
We’ll also talk about _______________. This is where you come in.
Tell me what you want to know about birth control and I’ll put the KVRX News team to work, so we can discuss it on air. We’ll research our fingers off.
Then, you can listen to In The Know on Wednesday night from 7-8 on 91.7 FM to see if we are talking about your suggestion. You can also listen to us online at kvrx.org. Click on the listen now button.
And now, you’re in the know.

It would be nice to know the likelihood of pregnancy happening during the 1st week before and after a period vs peak ovulation.
Also, a chick can’t get pregnant if you are doing her in the butt

Wonder if anyone would research the “natural planning” that the anti-birth control people have is as legitimate as they claim and if other birth controls fit or don’t fit in their realm (Got to love religion in news).

I HAD to sit through a mini class on natural family planning, so I have so literature on it that can be discussed. It might help answer both jesse and brandon’s questions.
ps A chick can get pregnant though butt sex….silly brandon.

Find the weirdest scenario. I think the teen site will be best for that. Discuss on air.

This girls boyfriend sucks at life:
“Is it true that it’s not possible to get pregnant until you have had sex for a few months? My boyfriend told me that a body that is new to sex will reject sperm. Is this true?”

You should talk about how people pee out birth control hormones and it pollutes water and damages populations of aquatic animals by making them feminized/infertile.
Also, if you’re going to talk about the ring as being permanent, you should talk about IUDs which are the most common form of birth control in the world and more permanent than a ring (all of adulthood instead of 3 weeks).

i ♥birth control. i think it should be the girls responsibility for the pill because its her body; the same argument goes for abortion.
the condom is a diff story. i think its whoevers packin it–both should, but they should split it evenly. and if its a one time affair, its probably not a safe thing in the first place.

I am not a fan of the rings when considering sex.
I’ve lost two (expensive) rings inside vaginas in the past year. The first was a lovely ring my grandmother gave me when she died. The second, my class ring, was lost for 3 months, and even when I got the ring back it had lost all of it’s gold plating. There has to be a better way.

Wow. Sounds like someone needs to actively alter their PH. It shouldn’t be that corrosive.
