8.2 What is a contraceptive?

8.3 How do birth control methods work? Do they have side effects?

8.4 Many of my friends talk about using the condom to ensure that they do not get AIDS or other STDs from their sexual partners. What do you think?

8.5 If the contraceptive methods available are not effective or are not safe, does it mean that there are no good methods for planning a family?

8.6 Are you sure that natural methods are good? I was told that the rhythm method which is a natural method is hopelessly unreliable.

8.7 How do these natural family planning methods work?

8.8 Just how good and effective is NFP in preventing pregnancy?

8.9 What other advantages and disadvantages of the natural methods are there?

8.10 I am planning to get married in a year’s time to the most wonderful girl. How can we learn more about NFP?

8.11 I am not planning to marry yet. What should be my attitudes towards sex and family planning?
