2/4 This is not a troll/flame bait... I'm just too embarrased to ask this
in person. If Orthotricycline and other "pills" are 99.9% effective,
does that mean it is 99.9% effective when you shoot "it" in,
or 99.9% effective when you pull out?
\_ No. Means, over a year, 0.1% of the couples using
this contraceptive will get pregnant.
\_ So it means over a period of say 30 years,
approx. 3% of the couples will get pregnant,
right? I hope it can be lower.
\_ You want lower that that for the long
of a time one of you should go under the
knife.
\_ But shouldn't that percentage also depend on how
many times the average couple do it in one year?
What's the average number of times then?
\_ Your asking for sex advice on soda? pwahahaahah.
\_ send all bug reports on the new linux kernel to http://www.playboy.com
\_ You're ignorance is showing.
\_ Not as badly as YOUR ignorance of English.
\_ Your irony is lacking.
\_ Your stupid, you know that?
\_ Oh I'm sorry. I forgot that most sodans are geeks by day
and major studs by night.
\_ Like from the movie, geeks only think about sex.
\_ 99.9% effective when you come inside her. That is the great
thing about oral contraceptives, you can come in her all you
want, and she will not get pregnant. Of course, if you are like me,
\_ ...so if you have sex 1000 times, on average she will get
pregnant once.
\_ No. Means, over a year, 0.1% of the couples using
this contraceptive will get pregnant.
and have been spoiled by women who use oral contraceptives,
you can never go back to using condoms. Such is life.
\_ So how do you convince your wife to switch to the pill? thanks
\_ convince her that all those health warnings are lies,
\_ If you smoke, the pill kills. Otherwise it's
\_ Um, the cigarette part of that combination
is sort of unhealthy as well.
a tossup if it kills more than abortions/childbirth
caused by not using the pill, and some women lowers
risk of cancer.
\_ It isn't a tossup. The pill is by far the
safest way to have sex. A failed condom which
causes a pregnancy which causes health problems
is more likely than similar health problems from
the pill. The figures are available from
Planned Parenthood (and probably elsewhere).
and she didn't want children any time soon.
It can take months to wear off, and there are different
kinds of pills. Some may work well, while others might
have side effects.
Oh, and also convince her that she would LOVE to spend
an hour getting squick out of her insides.
\_ Ah yes, the angry tone of a woman who had sex with someone
she shouldn't have. Obviously it was his fault that sex
is yucky and dangerous. Men are evil, etc, etc.
\_ and if yer a stud you'd pull out just like the porn stars do
\_ Yeah and all the porn whores are on the pill.
\_ so what is the .1% measuring? yearly chance she becomes pregnnt
anyway, or chance each time?
\_ Yearly % as an average over some number of couples. --dim
\_ the people who lie and say they used it right, when they didn't.
\_ BINGO! There is no proof whatsoever that the pill has
_ever_ failed a couple who actually _used_ it. Using it
when she feels like it or remembers doesn't count.
Dropping the extra pills in the toilet or simply lying to
her dumb bf/husband b/c she wanted to stick him with a kid
doesn't count either.
\_ You are a moron.
\_ Troll replies deleted. Thanks for the answer!
