Barrier contraception methods attempt to prevent pregnancy by forming an impenetrable barrier between sexual partners.
Some barrier methods also protect against sexually transmitted disease (STD). Using one of these devices is referred to as practicing safe sex.
- Condom, male or female
- Dental dam
Some evidence indicates that cells in the cervix are particularly susceptible to infection. Devices that cover the cervix may provide some protection from STDs; however, this protection is much less than that provided by devices that cover more of the male or female genitalia.

@nappilyevaafter ... so much it showed up on TP. As for BC, you could use barrier methods like a condom on days you think you're fertile.

@spiritualtramp No, as long as the barrier methods are taught as well. Teaching abstinence alone would be pretty naive.

Is there any good reason to NOT teach abstinence alongside the various barrier methods in sex ed.?
