Времена, когда лучшим средством контрацепции было половое воздержание или такие ухищрения, как чей-нибудь помет и отвары секретных трав, давно прошли (но это не точно). В начале XX века женщины надели брюки, сбросили с себя «семейное иго» и даже сели за штурвал: кто – самолета, кто – трактора, а кто – крупных корпораций. О непрерывной череде беременностей и родов с тех пор не могло быть и речи (но иногда что-то шло не так). К счастью, сегодня мы живем в мире доступной, безопасной и в основном эффективной контрацепции. Наше информационное поле переполнено сведениями о том, как избежать нежелательной беременности. Проблема в том, что данных так много и они такие разные, что в них легко запутаться. Эта книга – попытка собрать под одной обложкой информацию об особенностях разных методов контрацепции и развеять те мифы, которые ее по-прежнему окружают.
