1. Principle to avoid pregnancy Fertilization is the process of fusion that occurs between male and female gametes. In humans, the male gamete is the sperm and the female gamete is the egg. As a result of the fertilization process between sperm and egg, a zygote is formed, which develops into an embryo sac and gradually forms a fetus.
The main rule to prevent pregnancy is to prevent sperm cells from coming into contact with egg cells. Currently, there are many methods of contraception that meet the principle.

2. How to have safe sex to prevent pregnancy 2.1. Horse riding position The first way to prevent pregnancy is the riding position, also known as the cowgirl position. In this position, the man will lie down and the woman will sit on top. This position allows women to control the frequency of entry and exit and the depth of penetration.
By having sex with a horseback riding position, you can reduce your chances of conceiving by using certain types of over-the-counter lubricating products. The mechanism to prevent pregnancy with this position is because being in this position makes it difficult for sperm to swim to the cervix because it is subjected to pressure from gravity back. At the same time, due to the effect of lubricants, it prevents sperm motility. Therefore, many couples believe that having sex in this position can be a way to prevent pregnancy.
However, according to medical experts, there is no correlation between the position of the cervix and the ability of sperm to swim towards it. Therefore, you and your other half should still consider carefully before choosing this sex position or using other methods of contraception to ensure safety.
2.2. The face-to-face sex position The face-to-face sex position is a way to prevent pregnancy for those who do not want to have children. This pose requires some strength on the part of the man as both are standing and facing each other. Usually, the man will pick up the woman, and the woman uses her arms and legs to wrap around the man's body.
The reason is because it will be difficult for sperm to swim towards the uterus due to the resistance of gravity, so you may not be able to conceive. However, there is currently no research to prove that sex positions can help prevent pregnancy. So, when you have sex and don't want to get pregnant, you and your partner should use some other method of birth control just to be safe.

3. How to have sex without using condoms and still be safe 3.1. Natural contraceptive method Ejaculation outside the vagina This is a method of contraception used by many men. Couples still have intercourse as usual, but when it comes to the climax, about to orgasm, the man needs to quickly withdraw the penis to ejaculate outside the vagina, avoiding the semen entering the woman's vagina. female. The method of external ejaculation is also a way to have sex without getting pregnant.
However, this method of contraception can affect the pleasure of both men and women. In particular, it is required that the man be able to control excitement well and determine the necessary time to withdraw the penis in time.
This natural method of contraception is less effective at preventing pregnancy because even a small drop of residual semen can be the cause of a woman's risk of unwanted pregnancy.
No vaginal intercourse This is a safe way to have sex without a condom. With this method, two people only cuddle, caress, give each other sexual pleasure and of course do not allow the penis to enter the vagina. This is considered a safe way to have sex without infection for both men and women. Anyone can use this measure to protect themselves and their partners.
However, when applying this method both people should pay attention. If male pleasure causes ejaculation, both partners need to let semen ejaculate out of the vagina. If you are not careful, conception can occur, especially in the days of ovulation.
This method requires both people to be alert and have a high degree of restraint. This means that both partners must know how to control themselves, not to have uncontrolled sex because there is a risk of unwanted pregnancy.


Calculate ovulation to prevent pregnancy This is one of the ways to avoid pregnancy naturally, based on the contraceptive mechanism of the menstrual cycle in women. You can apply this method of calculating safe sex days through a woman's menstrual cycle. If you want to use this method of contraception, you must track the last 8 menstrual periods to see if they are regular.
Depending on the location of each person as well as psychology, nutrition, and activities, each person's menstrual cycle will be different. Normally, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts from 28 to 35 days.
The method of contraception is based on the menstrual cycle:
This method only applies to women with regular menstrual cycles.
Each month, an egg will be released on days 12-16 of the next menstrual cycle. They stay in the fallopian tubes for 1 to 2 days, waiting for an opportunity to fertilize. Sperm can survive for 5 days in the vaginal environment. So, a few days before and after ovulation, the chances of conception will be very high.
Based on a woman's ovulation date, it can be divided into 3 stages to calculate safe sex days as follows:
Stage 1: Relatively safe sex days
Counting from the day you start your period menstruation to day 9 - the time when the egg begins to gradually release. If you have sex on these days, there is still a chance that the egg will survive, and when it meets the sperm, fertilization will still take place. Therefore, the timing of contraception is only relative.
Phase 2: The most fertile days
The most fertile time falls on days 11 to 16, you avoid having sex with ovulation days in the middle of the cycle. If you have sex at this stage, it's best to use other methods of contraception.
Phase 3: Safe sex days
From the 20th day of this menstrual cycle to the first day of the next period will be a relatively safe period for couples. However, there are also cases where ovulation is delayed because of health changes in a woman's menstrual cycle.
Sex when exclusively breastfeeding When you are exclusively breastfeeding for the first 6 months, the menstrual period has not returned, leading to sexual intercourse that may not be pregnant. The reason is that when a mother breastfeeds, it increases prolactin levels in a woman's body, which helps prevent ovulation to prevent pregnancy.
However, this method of contraception is not successful for all nursing mothers.
Sex during menopause When a woman reaches perimenopause or menopause, that is, turning 40, the possibility of pregnancy decreases. This doesn't mean that women over 40 can't get pregnant. When a woman goes through menopause, which means she doesn't have a monthly period, having sex at this time will absolutely not get pregnant.
