When I asked my pastor for some advice on birth control, he told me that when I'm out with my boyfriend, to stick a dime between my knees and just hold it there. He guaranteed that I would not get pregnant this way.
Should I trust my pastor or get some other advice?

Poor Debra M. You look like you would know a thing or two about abstinence.

Maybe if I used a quarter it would be 2.5 times more effective?

What if you bend over?

There's one thing about it - if you hold the dime securely throughout the whole date and into the house after the date - you won't have had sex! What he's really trying to tell you is abstinence is the only real birth control. And the positive to that is real simple - you have one gift you can give to your husband on your wedding night - and that is the joy of experimenting and learning together about the joyous union of one flesh that God has planned for a couple. So, if you give that gift away before you're wedding night, what will give to your husband on your wedding night? Because the most special thing you've got will be gone.

Little woman descendant, i'm a Christian and that i'm no longer against delivery administration, abortions whilst warranted, and homosexual human beings. So initiate over and ask why some Christians are. The Bible says homosexuality is an abomination to God. It does no longer say that homosexuals are an abomination. Abortion is homicide, and is barely warranted whilst the existence of the mummy or new child is threatened. Did you ever think of that the guy who would have stumbled on the treatment for many cancers, years in the past, substitute into aborted? Your existence would have relied on that youngster living. God speaking with reference to the prophet Jeremiah mentioned, "I knew you till now you have been conceived." The organic sparkling water of religious reality, is located in rusty packing containers. And the subsequent failure of the church down during the centuries, should not be blamed on the church, as though the water were the project. Christians at the instant are not appropriate. Christians are forgiven. God Bless

You know, when I was growing up my pastor brought in someone from planned parenthood and they explained a variety of topics. We went over everything from STDs, condom use, and abstinence.
While I am no longer a member of that church, I highly value that the Pastor cared enough to bring in a health professional to explain the topic so everyone understood.

Try abstinence the ONLY guaranteed birth control for women and men.Actually I am married with children. Continence not abstinence is the requirement of marriage.

If you are not married, abstinence is the only way to go... trust me, I should know. I got pregnant from my boyfriend when I was 16. I married him shortly thereafter... and we have been happily married for 3 years... I am not ashamed of my son, but I know that having sex before I was married was wrong. Abstinence is the way to go.

You shouldn't ask a pastor about that. Ask a doctor what is the best control device for you. A pastor's opinion is biased. A doctor's opinion isn't. Or do you ask your doctor what to do when your life feels empty? To each his own!

He is telling you to basically not have sex by keeping your legs closed. Abstinence is the only birth control that is 100% effective.

Ha! I laughed my butt of over this one. This is one of the funniest things I've heard, in a long time. Good one, we need some sense of humor on here from time to time!

Maybe you should hold a dead rotting skunk between your knees. That should stop you from any type of social contact.
