method, and you must remember to put it in only once a month and take it off during the third week.
    Tubal ligation. More than birth control, this is a life-long decision. If you have had the children you wanted, or if you have decided that motherhood is not for you, tubal ligation is a permanent solution to the issue of pregnancy. Neither the sperm nor eggs can go through, so it is impossible to get pregnant. The surgery is simple; the drawback is that, in most cases, there is no possibility of reversing it. If you are certain, it may be the perfect solution, but I would suggest that you think about it very carefully before doing this, because life takes many turns and you never know what may lie ahead.
    Vasectomy. For us a vasectomy is perfect, because we have absolutely nothing to do. It is the man who has to undergo a minor operation to keep sperm from reaching the semen. The advantage over tubal ligation is that it is the man who has to undergo surgery, and especially if the circumstances change, in case you want to recover the ability to procreate, the chances of success are quite high. But if you have a steady partner and you are still hoping to have one or more children, you should not consider this method.
    Coitus interruptus and other dangerous myths. This “method,” other than being unique, consists of the man withdrawing his penis just at the “right time” and ejaculating outside the vagina. That is why it is also called “pulling out.” Men tend to swear that they know how to do it, they have self-control, and you should not worry, but . . . watch out, friends! How can you be sure that your partner will be able to “pull out” precisely when he is enjoying himself the most? Moreover, prior to ejaculation, the penis secretes a fluid that may contain sperm. Do not even waste your time considering this very risky practice. It is also dangerous to have intercourse during menstruation, since sperm can survive up to 5 days, and if you ovulate right after you menstruate, pregnancy is possible.
    A friend asked me, “What if I douche after intercourse, or I squat so that the semen does not reach the egg?”; another friend assured me that an infusion of blueberries with lemon zest applied as a plaster after intercourse was very effective. Douching, certain positions, all types of concoctions. Bullshit! None of it is true. Women tried for centuries and never got reliable results. If you do not want to get pregnant, you have only two options: abstinence—oh!—or using one of the methods that I have described to you.
    S EXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs)
    In today’s world, where sex is—fortunately—becoming freer and more frequent, and where changing partners is not strange, having some knowledge about STDs is absolutely essential. I do not intend to scare you. At this point in the book, you know me well enough to know that I am of the opinion that sex is a wonderful thing and we should try to get the most enjoyment out of it. However, some information about STDs will help you have safer, and therefore freer, and more enjoyable sexual relationships.
    STDs are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact. However, for your peace of mind, I will say that all of them, including AIDS—although just partially—have a treatment and solution. Anyway, the best option for avoiding pregnancy as well as avoiding infection is prevention, and for this we just need to pay some attention and take necessary action. You must keep in mind that, with the exception of condoms, contraceptives do not work to prevent these diseases. Keep reading, and you will learn what are the most common STDs: their names, symptoms, treatment, and prevention.
    Syphilis. Formerly known as the “French disease.” Today it is on the decline, but for centuries it was a very serious disease, which can cause madness and, in many cases, death. Syphilis is caused by a virus called Treoponema pallidum that first
