This provides a comprehensive guide to family planning

I found "How Not to Get Pregnant" to a thorough commentary on how conception occurs and how it can be controlled. The focus of the book is on preventing pregnancy, but I found that it educated me on the workings of the human reproductive system in such a way that I understand how to avoid pregancy or how to become pregant quite well. The explantions appear to be accurate and educational (although I admit I am not professionally qualified to comment on the accuracy). The first chapter explains the human reproductive system in great detail, and although I am a father who has been married for many years, I learned the subject in a more detailed and useful manner than I had previously. Subsequent chapters investigate every method of birth control I have ever heard of, including "natural" methods of birth control and those enabled by modern medicine. Topics were covered in such a way that the needs of people with differing values, religions, and livestyles are addressed. Every topic was fairly treated with pros and cons discussed.This was a great book and I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about human reproduction and how they can control it. My only reservation is that it was originally published more than a decade ago, and I am certain that new information is available. However, I question whether a book as readable and understandable has been written in the last decade.
