yes. My mother was on the sponge when I was concevied. The reason the sponge is now off the market is for that very reason, it is ineffective.
The truth is, keep your legs together sex ed is useless, whether you know someone using BC who got pregers or not. Look at the stats for the US versus other industrialized countries with full sex ed. We have high teen pregnancies, higher accidental pregnancies and more abortions, especially among teens than any other industrialized country. Accodring to the CDC, 49% of pregnancies in the US are unplanned. That is a huge problem we could easily fix.
To give you an example. I knew a woman who was only told not to have sex before marriage and that was pretty much it. She was babysitting for a well respected member of her church who raped her. She had to go to the hospital by herself because she was ashamed she was not a virgin before marriage and only got the plan B pill because of the hospital; she truely believed her parents would disown her if they found out because she went against god. I have known a few women who got full sex ed who were raped or sexually assulted, myself included, and not having that ridiculous judgement hanging over our heads not only gave us the info we needed to make a good decision about our bodies during stressful times, but it also did not impart the same kind of guilt.
