LOL Yes, that was intentional. I couldn't let the opportunity pass for a double entendre.
I didn't say that it's permanence was a disadvantage as such, in fact, I said that was an advantage. (see quote below) However, for people who actually may want children in the future, the fact that it is non-reversible is a big disadvantage. Not everyone wants permanent birth control and it would be foolish of me to not give the whole story to those who read this board. The majority of people asking about contraception are teens.
I just realised there's two typos in that quote. Darn. It should be "reversible" and I missed the shift key, resulting in a lower case letter instead of a capital.
Any mods care to do a little edit for me? 
Edit: Thanks, Maggie!
It took me three days of research and writing to do this post! I did it all during naps and after bedtime.

Wow. You're amazing. I confess I didn't read the whole thing, but the last line caught my eye:
Who ever thought toothpaste could be used?!
Toothpaste cannot be used as an effective contraceptive

I vote sticky. There are a lot of questions about BC and pregnancy, this would help limit those. Great job Helen!

One thing caught my eye...I don't think that under sterilization, you should include the fact that it's permanent as a negative aspect. That's the main positive aspect that makes me want to be sterilized. It's just kind of like...that's what it is - permanent birth control. It's permanence is inherent.
I'm done now, heh.

Sterilisation
Advantages:
Low failure rate
A permanent solution
Disadvantages:
does not provide protection against STIs
Non-reversable should you change your mind

so, i don't know where else to ask, so i'm going to try a couple of places. um, i'm a college student and i'm under my mom's health insurance. the question of how to get birth control has just come up, and i'm really really uncomfortable asking anyone. my mom would not be helpful. in fact, i have a feeling she'd make me live at home... so, is there any way to get birth control pills really cheap and without my mom finding out???

I'm sure this depends on the rules where you are. In Australia, once you are over 16 (maybe 18 - it's been a long time since I was that age) you can make doctor's appointments and get prescription medications without your parents ever knowing, regardless of whether you are still on their Medicare card or private insurance or not. This question is best to ask of people that are in your area, who know the local rules and regulations.

thanks!! also, i have a slightly embarrassing question. how much does it hurt the first time?

By oz_helen

This question is better asked on the board than in a thread about contraception. You may actually find threads about this on the first few pages. Have a look and see what you find.

Even though I knew a lot of this information, I just sat here for about half an hour and read over the thread! Thanks, there's a lot of great information in there, and some things that I definitely needed to know.

Wow... that covers everything.
Not many people know all the options... let alone can explain them.
I'm sure your post will help many.
And now for my two cents... trust me, if your gonna do it, at least use a condom.

Touching your partner's genitals or anal area during masturbation could possibly result in transmitting STIs.
Just wondering how is this ?
