A while ago, I was reading a "Harlequin American Romance" (as a diversion,
I don't do this regularly) and was rather surprised to see that the
protagonist, while getting ready for an evening with a particular man,
"took precautions against pregnancy".  Interesting to see a bit of realism
injected into these stories.

But then it started me wondering.  What birth control method is there
that is used by the woman, requires her to do something in preparation
for intercourse, and yet the preparation can be done many hours in advance?
Cervical cap?  But that isn't used very widely, is it?
