It would've been highly ironic if they had vintage western movie star Ronald Reagan in the background.

OK, since women who use birth control (98% of heterosexual women in America) are all sluts, I assume every one of you males is a virgin. Because you know, if she's a slut what does that make you?

According to Reddit that is an ad from the 1950s.

wtf?

I love the part where they say that she's a free thinker. :MARIS61: I guess in the 1950s that was considered bad.

Yeah, not so much, lol...

Swallowing makes them sluts. I don't really care what they do with it at that point if it doesn't involve me. Slut or not, we are still manly men that rule the world.

Hey look!! Crandc missed the point.

In other news, the sun rose today...

An ad? For what product or service?

[Minstrel]

Also an ad in what context or publication? I guess it could potentially fit in Playboy, but other than that, I find it hard to believe that the term "penis lovin' Satan's girl" would be acceptable copy in the 1950s (or today).

My default assumption would be that it's a parody being touted as a real ad.

Excuse me, but I waited until marriage! ;]

She got the tense wrong. It's 98% of women in the US have used birth control. Not currently on birth control.

Neither figure is real.

Neither figure is real.

Oh no? reporting 84% median usage by couples who are at risk of pregnancy are using contraceptives. If you let those numbers extend to include if they have at some point used contraceptives, I'm pretty sure it could get up to 98% of women.

Clicked on the link but having a hard time finding the 84% figure you mention. I was wondering because" couple using contraceptives" sounds like it could include men using condoms.

That document made my head spin . . .

AHH I see your confusion. I went with Crandc implying all contraceptives as birth control. You are assuming she just means the pill. I suppose the poster does imply the pill only.

I think there are many forms of contraceptives and birth control . . . the stat posters seem to be challenging is 98% of heterosexual woman use birth control. That seems really really high and unlikely. Then you said 98% of woman "have" used birth control is possible, which again I find high but decided to click on the link you supplied. Couldn't make heads or tails of that link and was wondering if condoms count as "woman using birth control"

But at this point I'm all confused and really don't care that much.

I'll give you the highlights, and cut out the scientific format:

This report focuses on the prevalence of birth control use for those reporting the following five methods: the pill, condoms, tubal ligation, vasectomy, and injectable contraceptives (e.g., Depo-Provera ["the shot"]). These methods account for 83%--93% of birth control use for men and 84%--95% of birth control use for women.

The percentage of women at risk for pregnancy who said they or their partner were using some method of birth control was high overall and ranged from 67% (Guam) to 88% (Idaho). The prevalence of birth control use exceeded 80% in 44 of 54 states (median prevalence: 84%)

In all but one state, birth control pill use was highest among those aged 18--24 years. Prevalence of pill use among this group ranged from 72% (Kansas) to 39% (New Jersey). In New Jersey, persons aged 18--24 years reported condoms (44%) as the most common method. Among those aged 25--34 years, the pill was also the most common method reported. However, for certain areas, condoms (District of Columbia) or tubal ligation (Mississippi, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Puerto Rico) were more commonly reported. Women aged 35--44 years reported tubal ligation or vasectomy as the most common method, except in the District of Columbia, where condoms were the most commonly reported method.

So, how does one get "98% of heterosexual women in America use birth control" from "The percentage of women at risk for pregnancy who said they or their partner were using some method of birth control was high overall and ranged from 67% (Guam) to 88% (Idaho). The prevalence of birth control use exceeded 80% in 44 of 54 states (median prevalence: 84%)?"

Doesn't add up...

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Blah blah blah blah blah

 

[barfo]

The prevalence of birth control use exceeded 80% in 44 of 54 states

Study must have been done by Obama.

My argument was not "98% of heterosexual women in America use birth control." My argument was "98% of heterosexual women in America have used birth control." So yes, you are correct. 98% is not a median of 84%.

I have a hard time believing that only 2% of heterosexual women (I was guessing 18 and up, but maybe they use 21?) in America are virgins who don't use birth control pills for hormonal therapy.

And that's assuming that every heterosexual woman who has had sex uses birth control for some reason.

Not sure I buy those two premises. Then again isn't the interwebz for spouting random "facts" that support your right to be right?

My link was from a CDC study in 2002, I believe.

A man pulling out before he ejaculates could be considered a form of birth control.

that's not birth control, that's just gambling. And it's called the rhythm method.
