What is the best method of birth control?

Well, this is a very difficult question. Of all the methods available today for birth control, none of them is 100 percent effective. In the majority of cases, it depends on the individual and how he or she practices using that method. For example, if you have condoms at home and the urge to have sex is so great that you forget to use the condom, then one cannot blame the condom if you get pregnant! Same goes for every other method- if you use the methods well, you get the results.

However, even if you use any method of birth control, none can guarantee 100 percent that you will not get pregnant. For example, if your boyfriend has a small penis and you get him the fancy large red/black ribbed condom to jive up the mood, well- it will not work. The condom has to fit properly. There are countless reports that many people still do not know how to use a condom properly

There are a number of permanent methods of birth control for both males and females. For men, vasectomy can be performed very easily through a very small incision. The procedure simply involves cutting off the vas deferens – a tube that carries sperm into the penis. For women there is tubal ligation. The tubes can be clipped, blocked or narrowed down by a variety of methods. Today, there is a method called Essure for women, where a small flexible metallic wire is placed in the tubes, this immediately causes severe adhesions, and the tubes get blocked

With all the above methods of sterilization, one should give it a lot of thought. These methods are very hard to reverse (despite what the doctors claim) and the reversal process can cost a fortune.
