    Cool, cool, but don’t forget to also talk about its secondary effects. These pills shouldn’t be popped for every encounter. It should be used for events like a condom breaking.

    Edit: sorry, I assumed that this was a post-day pill. This is just a normal contraceptive, how the fuck are these not legally sold over the counter already? Sorry, not American.

      Dunno where you live, but at least in Finland you do need a prescription for contraceptive pills, they’re not sold OTC
