Parents need to talk to their tweens sooner about puberty: poll
“Without parental guidance, children may turn to social media or their peers for answers at a time when kids may be confused and potentially self-conscious. “Not talking to them just can leave them in a little bit of a vulnerable position,”
The hyper polarized atmosphere of teaching the subject in school also adds problems.

I had forgotten that Mordin tells Fem!Shep not to swallow.
Locke hurt his penis in the bathtub and asked me to kiss it to help it feel better. So we had a conversation about sex organs, how you need to know enough to consent to that, and that that won't be for awhile for him.
"Like when I'm 4?"
"More like 16, and even then, it's inappropriate for an adult to offer."
"Ok."
He knew we were talking bout something serious and interesting. I feel like I did a good job.

Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. https://saheliinfo.com/clinical-evidence
Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6449/smpc) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". https://www.annoverahcp.com/
Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several! We are no longer stuck with the larger, higher dose Mirena hIUS. https://www.mirena.co.uk/ I want the smaller, lower dose (but shorter duration) Jaydess https://www.fsrh.org/Public/Public/Documents/ceu-product-review-jaydess-apr-14.aspx or Kyleena. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/769/smpc
(You can fit a non-hormonal IUD copper coil as emergency contraception, within 10 days of unprotected sex. Fitting it as regular birth control anytime otherwise is also fine, when not pregnant.) https://patient.info/sexual-health/long-acting-reversible-contraceptives-larc/intrauterine-contraceptive-device
Finally, vasectomy. New part is "I found multiple cases where doctors did their own vasectomies". This may be helpful for hesitant cis men and AMAB people to know. Vasectomies are reversible ("easily", according to a medical nerd friend, but obv different people's bodies respond to things in weird, cool ways, so everything depends). https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Vasectomy.pdf
I am not a doctor. Even if I were, I am not YOUR doctor. I do not have access to your medical records.
I'm just infodumping useful info to prevent unwanted pregnancies, minimise unplanned pregnancies, and mitigate risks. https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/contraception-sterilization/management/male-sterilization-vasectomy/
