Besides protection from pregnancy, both, male as well as female condoms ensure we stay safe from Sexually Transmitted Infections or STIs. Having safe and protected sex thus, is paramount. Yet many choose otherwise. More often than not, women are made to pop morning-after pills due to the ‘unwillingness’ of their partners to use condoms.
“Morning-after pills are not meant to be taken as a regular form of contraception. It`s an emergency contraceptive option, a backup plan for times when condoms happen to either tear or slip out. It`s there to provide a safety net, a second chance to prevent an unwanted pregnancy,” says Niyatii N Shah, intimacy coach, founder and president, Averti Education and council of sex educators for social change.
