How to avoid becoming pregnant?

Cindy writes, "My boyfriend seems to not be able to stop touching me. We have sex all the time and he seems to want more and more. He always seduces me and gets me into bed. Please help me. I try talking to him but we always end up making love. I have become pregnant six times but aborted each time because he does not have time or money to support a child."

I think there is nothing wrong with having sexual desire for your partner with whom you are in love, but if you do not want to get pregnant, you have to use birth control. You can go on the birth control pill and that way you will not become pregnant. If that is not possible, condoms are an alternative. In case you are completely caught by surprise, then, you can try plan B, a pill that stops an embryo from implanting itself in the womb in case fertilization does happen.

I typically do not like to raise ethical and moral questions related to abortion (I leave that to you and your partner), but do want to raise health issues. Making the body go through pregnancy and then aborting it causes health complications due to hormonal imbalance. The body also goes through enormous stress each time you get pregnant or have an abortion.
