Many teens are sexually active but their knowledge of safe sex is woefully inadequate. They may have limited or misguided knowledge about conceptions. How not to get pregnant and what are the contraceptive methods .
After they had sex, they will only start to worry to death if they will get pregnant or when they miss their periods.They get all kinds of advises and they do not know which one is true or not.
The sperm can live inside a body from three to seven days. The most fertile period for a woman is three days before and after her first day of period. To be on a safer side, one should abstain from sex seven days before and after her first day of period. They should use condoms if they want to have sex within that period.
It only take one sperm to fertilize an egg. One discharge may consist of between 250 to 350 million sperms. Even if there is no penetration ,if the sperm comes into contact with your vagina through your hands or orally, it can swim inside of you and fertilize the egg. It can even penetrate through your panties .The risk of pregnancy is very low but it can happen if you are very unlucky ,
The sperm may not survive long outside the body . It depends on the humidity of the room . If it is hot , the liquid may evaporate faster and it will die in a few minutes.If the room is cold and wet, it may survive for about an hour or more.
No contraceptive method is 100% safe and there are instances when a girl is on the pill but can still get pregnant. It is rather rare but do happens. You can even get pregnant during your period. You may ask ,'How can ? '
It did occur to some girls .There are in fact no safe days. If you don't want to get pregnant, you should take the pill or after morning pill after sex within 72 hours( the earlier the better)or use condoms which can also prevent the spread of STD's.
When the men is aroused and excited, the penis can secrete pre ejaculation fluid and they contained some amount of sperms and lubricants. You can still get pregnant if you use the withdrawal method.
Some teens thought that after having unprotected sex, they cannot get pregnant by washing their private parts or douching, drink plenty of water and pee a lot.Some think that by jumping up and down and exercising or 'sperm dancing', the sperms will fall out from their bodies.
As parents, we should teach our children about contraception's and how to prevent pregnancy and STD's. In school , they may learn only the physiological aspects but not the morality of sex.
It is better to arm them with the right knowledge because you cannot stop them from having pre marital sex. No matter how good your intentions are, those youngster with raging hormones will not listen to you about abstinence .
