We call this method “creative sex,” as a way to love on the process a bit more.
Some combination of cervical placement, small but persistent ovarian cysts, and our hippie desires to not get pregnant without resorting to hormonal or barrier methods of birth-control have given rise to the “creative” method.
It’s also sent my beloved husband off on his own journey of exploring sexual mastery. I am not sad about this one little bit!
Amazing what you find out about the cervix once you usher life into the world via its doorway.
I’ve been amazed at what I learned reading Toni Weschler’s book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.
I am constantly amazed that this information was NOT made available to me in the first 40 years of my life as an option for birth control, or as basic information about this body I’m living in.
Body temp + cervical mucus monitoring + cervical position tests give me a FAR better sense of what’s going on than the standard advice to simply use a condom.
Hello patriarchy. WTF!
Bravo for a brave piece! This topic is one we all ought to know more about!
