- Um, how about this: he could choose his sex partners carefully enough
- that he can _believe_ the woman when she says she using a certain form
- of birth control?
-
- Or, he could encourage (insist?) that she use either a diaphragm or a
- contraceptive sponge, or foam or something else that he can be _sure_
- is actually used at each instance of sexual intercourse? Combined with
- a condom, that actually approaches 99% effectiveness, doesn't it?
