When you need emergency contraception, you need it fast with no questions asked, as it’s most effective if it’s taken within 24 hours. At Shippensburg University, a vending machine dispensing Plan B and pregnancy tests has been installed so students can have easy access to the emergency contraception pill. The best part is that young ...

The Porn Industry is about fantasy. Most of the women act and look far differently than those you would find in the real world. The men have larger than average penis size. And no one uses condoms. The fantasy aspect is a big part of the appeal. Because of this, many members of the porn ...

We own our bodies, and the government cannot step in and tell us what to do with them. That doesn’t sound too outlandish, right? A recent United Nations report stood up for this idea, saying that a woman has a right to her own health and body. Although the idea seems simple it goes against ...

Yes, you read that right. This is, believe it or not, is the “Protect Life Act.” So here’s the deal: Women on the brink ...

Women who are on oral contraceptives think less with their “left brain” and more with their “right brain,” according to researchers at the University of California.

Can’t get your man to commit? Why not get pregnant accidentally on purpose?! Frankly, I am sick to death of the claim that women get pregnant accidentally on purpose in order to snare a man who is unwilling to commit. Sure, there might be a few psychotic women who have done this, but by and ...

After having to dish out co-payments and deductibles for many years, American women finally have a reason to celebrate. Recently, Institute of Medicine (IOM) health experts issued a recommendation to the government pushing health insurance companies to fully cover birth control, among other health services for women. Well, it’s now a done deal. Contraceptives for ...

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has now officially approved the use of IUDs for healthy women who have never been pregnant and teens. The T-shaped pieces of plastic laced with copper or hormones placed in the uterus to ...

We all know the age old problem that keeps many away from the birth control pill: weight gain. But this “fact” is soon to be proved a myth by Ingela Lindh. Lindh compared birth control pill poppers to other non-pill-prescribed females within their age group from ages 19 to 34. The pill-poppers did not gain ...
