My doctor told me last week that BC is on ly 97% effective and is toxic of course. he suggests an IUD. although even up here they cost $300. they are good for 10 years so although they cost a lot up front you can make up for the cost down the road easily. and they are 99% effective.
this way you don't have to worry about using saran wrap or long term escalating costs of BC. One brand name you can look up is Mirena. here's a link to a slightly less biased take on them |

This is a very difficult thread. It is almost impossible to avoid beeing offensively explicit, but I'll make a try!
When it comes to that vital part of life -intimacy- there are a lot of variations to explore beside the pretty obvious "classical" one. Very intensive experiences of intimacy can be achieved without the risc of generating offspring. Some people claim that such practices actually have deep support in the Bible.

IUD's aren;t perfect either, one of my sisters used that approach, got pregnant a few months later and suffered minor complications to the pregnancy because the IUD was slightly interfering with the placental development. Turned out OK, she now has a grandchild from her firstborn IUD defeating child

| Nothing is 100% safe and effective unless you go for the old snip or clip. My first was born through 3 different kinds of contraception.... no joke, no exageration. it can happen no matter waht. even vasectomies sometimes "don't take". |

I've got a 3-year old who is proof of that. 1 in 10 million chance. There is no such thing as perfect birth control.
Of course, we were in Roswell, NM when we think the conception occurred...

There have been some problems with vasectomie that involve long-term pain in the testicle area. And nobody knows why this happens and there are no remedies. This from doctors at Kaiser-Permanente. Not a large proportion of the operations but significant. |

Threesome in a Christian Marriage ... really MacG ... I knew that you Scandinavian boys and girls are sexually liberated but this is way too much. Having said that ... I am forwarding the link to a couple "reborns" I know ... oh I'm about to have a lot of fun (checking out their reactions)

Absolutely the best. Complete and utter freedom without worries, at least for a monogamous couple. I highly recommend the "Open End" variety, which can be hard to find but well worth it in avoiding potential complications of the traditional "closed on both ends" variety. I live in progressive CA, and even so, I had to drive 8 hours 1 way to get the procedure. Not cheap either, but it was the best money I ever spent. Do the homework, you'll find out what I mean.
Now, as for other "romantic" preparations, what kinds of things do couples enjoy that will be hard to find after a crash? A quality lube like AstroGlide? (never cared for KY). Silicone toys that are easy to sterilize? Books and magazines? Rechargable batteries for toys that go "bzzzzzz" and a solar charger for them? Replacement toys (they tend to last only a year or two). Time to start stockpiling, perhaps!
Let's face it, when the networks are off the air, the bars and restaurants are closed, and the newspapers stop being delivered, a board game can only hold your attention just so long, and people do get bored. However there's one activity that seemingly enjoys perrenial interest... 
Best of all it is free and requires no electricity!! Although electricity can be fun too.... |

We're all adults here right? We can say "anal sex" without getting all fundie about it.
Anyway, my understanding is that anal sex is extremely common in poor Catholic countries where birth control is culturally prohibited. |

| I have always used the withdrawal method in my repertoir. It works. However one must not be a hanging bellied, slack jawed, weak loined, bloated low IQ wimp. The man must be a warrior mentally and physically. Start running those mountains now. |
