Forgotten Histories and Modern Mysteries: Undiscussed Stories of Contraception

Syna Senior Thesis

Throughout history, contraceptives have been connected to and created stories that have not been as highlighted as they deserve. Here are the stories.

Welcome!

"What are you willing to risk?" - A Question That is Not Asked Enough

On these pages, you will find stories both told and untold relating to the history of contraception.

In the first category of texts, "History's Contraceptive Stories," you will find, as the title states, different stories relating to contraceptives that were used in Ancient History. Some stories have been included because they revealed a fascinating story, and I found some to be quite entertaining. I hope you enjoy them too.

The second category, "Modern Stories," consists of a mix of information about current modern contraceptives that are used by individuals with a uterus today and personal reflection on what stories we are told about these contraceptives and how they don't reflect the real experiences that people have. I hope that others will add parts of their own stories and helpful tips for others, as annotations.

We are all in this world together. We should help each other out!

As you read through the texts on this site, please add your own annotations with related comments that you would like to share with the community.

DISCLAIMER These texts are meant to be a source of information and entertainment and are not an official guide to the medical world of contraceptives. Consult a health care provider if you are wondering if a certain contraceptive method is correct for you.
