How much
do you really
know about
sex and
pregnancy? Most of us learn about sex
from a sibling, friend or neighbor.
What we learn is not always accurate.
Let’s take a look at a few of the myths
out there, concerning how to avoid
pregnancy.

The Mountain Dew Myth. Have your
boyfriend down a 2-liter of Mountain
Dew before sex and it will lower his
sperm count thereby preventing
pregnancy.
TRUTH: The ingredients in Mountain Dew
— or other sodas — do not affect a
male’s sperm count. So “Doing the Dew”
does not prevent pregnancy.

Sex in Water Myth: You can’t get
pregnant if you have sex in water.
TRUTH: Pregnancy can occur in water. It
doesn’t matter whether it’s a lake, a
pool or a hot tub.

Jump Up and Down after Sex Myth: If
you jump up and down after sex it
confuses the sperm and they fall out of
the vagina.
TRUTH: Jumping up and down does not
confuse sperm and they definitely don’t
fall out. Even if you jump on a trampoline
it won’t prevent pregnancy. And tell your
older siblings they need to get their facts
straight.

The Smartphone App Myth: As long as
your app says you’re not ovulating you
can’t get pregnant.
TRUTH: There are many different apps
out there that can track a woman’s
period and tell you when you are fertile.
Your smart phone is smart but not
always correct. It does not know your
body and therefore cannot always
accurately predict when you are fertile or
not. It won’t prevent pregnancy.

The Pull Out Myth: As long as your
boyfriend pulls out before he ejaculates
there is no chance of getting pregnant.
Also known as withdrawal.
TRUTH: Two things to keep in mind:
1.There are always fluids being released
even before ejaculation takes place. 2.
This takes a lot of self-control that most
people do not have in the heat of the
moment. Have you heard the true story
about the family of five who were all
conceived from using the Pull Out
Method?

The Gravity Myth: In the movie Knocked
Up, the main character says if a girl is on
top during sex she can’t get pregnant
because of gravity.
TRUTH: Don’t believe everything
Hollywood says. Sperm can swim
upwards!

The Alcohol Myth: Alcohol kills sperm;
therefore you can’t get pregnant.
TRUTH: Neither drinking nor taking drugs
will prevent pregnancy. Taking alcohol or
drugs lowers your inhibitions and ability
to make good decisions when it comes
to sex. Something to think about;
besides not preventing pregnancy,
drinking or drugs could cause you to end
up regretting your sexual experience.
The First Time Myth: You can’t get
pregnant your first time having sex.
TRUTH: If you are ovulating it doesn’t
matter whether it’s your first time or
your 101st time having sex you can get
pregnant. The only way to avoid
pregnancy is to avoid having sex.

The Douche Myth: You can’t get
pregnant if you douche after sex.
TRUTH: Douching does not prevent
pregnancy.

You Can’t Get Pregnant During Your
Period Myth.
TRUTH: Your chances are slim, but you
can still get pregnant.

WARNING: Typing “how to avoid
pregnancy” into a search engine does
not prevent pregnancy because a large
portion of what you may read will be
similar to the false facts you read
above.
The only 100% way to avoid becoming
pregnant is to abstain from having sex
