Recent studies have shown that women are using condoms more now as a form of birth control.
Many state they prefer condoms over the pill.
This is a change in past studies, and there has been a noticeable increase in condom usage over the past few years.
When used correctly, condoms are found to be just as effective as the birth control pill.
They are also less expensive.
They have no side effects, unless you discover an allergy to latex, and they also protect against Sexual Transmitted Diseases, unlike the pill.
The birth control pill is solely for preventing birth, it does nothing to protect against STDs.
Decreasing the risk of sexual transmitted diseases and infections was cited as the main reason for condom usage.
The only sexual transmitted disease, the condom is not completely effective at preventing is HPV, which can be spread through skin to skin contact.
There has been a 6% increase in the number of men reporting to use condoms.
There has also been a decrease in the number of men and women reporting to have had sex with others they didn't really know.
The pill, in addition to not protecting against sexually transmitted diseases and infections, has potential side effects.
These side effects may include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weight gain.
In extreme cases, the pill can cause blood clots, especially in women who smoke.
The pill can, however, decrease facial acne, and has been reported to decrease the likelihood of certain cancers.
The birth control pill can be expensive, and can only be administered through a prescription from a doctor.
There is also the morning after pill, which is essentially a very strong version of the birth control pill.
It can be taken up to 72 hours after having had unprotected sex.
The sooner it is taken the better the chances are that it will work.
