Sex drive is between your ears primarily, the effect your choice of birth control has is negligible. As far as non -hormone forms, you have the diaphram, cervical cap, and IUD, as well as contraceptive sponges, contraceptive foam and gel, or the female condom. Diaphrams and caps can be difficult to get, most doctors nowdays don't have the rings to fit you and little practice actually doing it. They also have to be used with a contraceptive gel, to be most effective. And you have to be motivated to use them properly. An IUD requires a trip to the doctor as well, but there are ones that don't rely on hormones, only the irritating action on the uterine lining and physical interference with implantation of the fertilized ovum. A lot of people find the contraceptive foams, gels and sponges irritate and burn the sensitive tissues of either partner, and they are not always so effective. Female condoms are also hard to find, about as scarce as hen's teeth in most places. Of course, the most reliable form of birth control still remains keeping the various parts apart- that is not having sex. But if you want to have sex, this is what would be available to choose from. They all have a failure rate, so keep in mind that no matter what you choose to use, in spite of using it correctly, conception and motherhood remain possible consequences. And pregnancy is not the least of the worries- the STD's out there are not funny at all. It used to be catching the clap was considered horrible news to give a patient, and now it's become almost a relief when that's all it is. At least that's just a dose of antibiotics. Herpes goes on forever, HPV might as well, and HIV- well, that's another story. So don't just keep your eye on the birth control, keep the STD's in mind as well.

You have given very narrow choice. There may be lots of pills, jellies, sponges, creams etc. available in your country which may or may not have hormone substitutes.
For contraceptives sans hormones and condoms, three procedures come into my mind at the moment:
1. I.U.D - a plastic ring or spiral attached with a small string is inserted in the woman's vagina to prevent conception. This method is quite effective, though not 100% safe, but has side-effects, like headache, heavy menstrual discharge, discomfort and in some rare cases even serious complications. Once inserted, it ramains there for quite a long time say 6 months or so but needs help of a medical attendant. If not properly inserted may fail to prevent conception. Sexual pleasure is not hampered.
2. Withdrawl Method: In this the male withdraws just before the ejaculation. This method is a little tricky and needs practice but involves risk of slip. So I won't recommend it with force.
3. Safe Period: Conception takes place when woman's egg (called ovum) meets male's sperms inside her vagina/fellopian tubes/uterus. While male's sperms may be available inside anytime (or all the time), a matured ovum ready for fertilization, is available only once in a month. The monthly process of discharge of ovum from the overies is known as 'Ovulation' which takes place sometime in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Therefore, if sperms are denied at the time 'Ovulation' takes place, the conception will not take place. This is quite a safe method without any side-effects but a little caution and control is required in its practice.
[However, be cautious because 'Ovulation' time varies from woman to woman and has to be calculated individually. Due to paucity of space it is not prudent to explain here as to how to calculate it, but if anyone is interested I can explain it through mail. ]
Hope this serves your purpose.

If you go to google and type "intrauterine device copper",you´ll find all the info about a contraception method without hormones.A female friend of mine had it inside for 12 years,without checking and no problems,although the insertion of the IUD is not pleasant...
S shiromani seems to be a smart man,BUT THE "PULL IT OUT ,BEFORE IT COMES" METHOD IS NOT SAFE!!!!
We guys usually before or during insertion into the girl have some drops of forpleasure leaving our p..
These drops can contain sperm and only ONE is enough to make you pregnant!
Best are condoms...If the boy is a newby he should train once or twice at home.
Maybe you could help him putting it on.Many guys like that...
Have FUN!

Oral contraceptives, along with other estrogen-based contraceptives, e.g., a trans-cutaneous patch, are highly effective. However, they are fraught with a multitude, of dire health consequences.
Comparable effectiveness, can be had, by combining multiple methods, e.g., barrier, spermicide, rhythm, and coitus interruptus. The barrier can be a condom, diaphragm, or female condom. The spermicide, may be, a foam, cream or jelly. Ovulation, can be predicted by taking daily temperature measurements, every morning. The down side of coitus interruptus, i.e., the male's extreme dissatisfaction with the procedure, can be satisfied by immediate fellatio.
If the male, inadvertently ejaculates, prior to withdrawal, the condom ruptures, and the spermicide, fails to destroy all the sperm. The surviving sperm, will not find an egg to fertilize.

Hi Wabby, I was on a very low dose of birth control pill. You can only take birth control pills for 5 years then you will have to try something else. It takes you about a month to wing you off pill control pills that is the hardest part and least it was for me. You need to decide what is best for you, that's why you need to see your doctor and talk about things you can take. Only your doctor can tell you what you really need to know. See your doctor first before anything!!! Lol
A Friend.

They have reintroduced a product called the sponge. It's sold next to the condoms but they are pricey! Also there are diaphrams, women condoms and spermacide foams!
But low dose pills contain minimal amounts of hormones!
Be careful and really be cautious about STD's too! Be safe!
~Best of Luck~

Just about everything will contain a type of hormone..other than condoms. There is foam but that should be used in conjunction with the condom. They do make a lower dose hormone pill.

Hmm, trying hard to think of any birth control that doesn't involve hormone therapy through pills or a patch... perhaps a diaphragm or sponge? Not really as effective, though.
Of course, there's always the guaranteed-safe classic: abstinence. ;)
