Well, I'm not sure how this is going to turn out, so please bear with me.
Here are a few questions to consider. Please don't send me responses,
since this isn't intended to be a survey. These questions are just supposed
to be thought-provoking.

Have you ever seen a network TV `mature' program (i.e. nighttime soap,
wet-tshirt cop show, daytime soap, etc.) where a man and woman about
to have intercourse were seen to use a birth control device? How about a
movie? How about one where lovers mentioned birth control?

(For women) Did you use birth control the first times you had intercourse?
How often do you not use it now?

(For men) How often have you confirmed before having intercourse with a
woman that some kind of birth control was being used (either by asking the
woman or by using a condom)?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that while it's supposed to be mature
and responsible to use birth control, for some reason we seem to be
conditioned not to in many cases. I'd be interested in hearing any
reactions to this.
