   Nominally, the failure rates for contraceptive methods are expressed
   as "number of pregnancies per one hundred user couples per year" Thus of
   one hundred couples who used condoms as a birth control method, two
   experienced unwanted pregnancies in one year.

   Below are reproduced the failure rates for typical contraceptive methods.
   My source for this is the tome "Sex A User's Manual" published
   by The Diagram Group. (Berkeley Publishing Group, New York c 1981) The
   list of credited contributors includes Toni Bellefield, Medical
   Information Officer, Family Planning Information Service, and D.B.

   Garrioch, MD, MRCOG, Senior Registrar in Gynecology, St. Thomas' Hospital, 
   London.

   Actual failure rate - number of pregnancies per 100 couples per year of
                      use, includes conception do to user's failing to use 
                      the method properly, as well as through method failures.

   Theoretical failure rate - number of pregnancies expected per 100 couples 
                      per year of use, allowing only for failure of the method 
                      to function when used properly. Condoms breaking for no 
                      apparent reason, etc, are method failures.

   I = less than 1
   X = expected failure rate, one X per pregnancy
   x = actual failure rate minus expected rate, one x per pregnancy

   I                    Tubal Ligation (E 0.04/A 0.04)
   I                    Vasectomy (E 0.15/A 0.15)
   XXXxx                IUD (E 1-3/A 5)
   Ixxxxxxxxxx          Combined Pill (E 1-1.5/A 5-10)
   Ixxxxxxxxxx          Minipill (E 1-1.5/A5-10)
   XXXxxxxxxx           Condoms (E 3/A 10)
   XXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    Cap & Spermicide (E 3/A17) 
                        (Rates for diaphragm are probably somewhat lower)
   XXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxx           Rhythm (temp) (E 7/A 20)
   XXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxx          Rhythm (calendar) (E 13 /A 21)
   XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      Rhythm (mucous) (E 2/A25)
   XXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      Spermicides (E 3/A 20-25)
   XXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      Withdrawal (E 9/A20-25)


   It is to be noted that this data is rather old, and therefore omits one
   crucial form of birth control currently available - the low dose pill.
   Low dose birth control pills are a more sophisticated development of the
   combined pill, and function in essentially the same way, but do not
   require as high an overall dose of hormones per month, thus reducing
   side effects considerably. Low dose pills may also be taken right up til
   menopause, whereas it is recommended that the combined or mini pills be
   discontinued around age 40-45.

   The rate I remember for "No birth control" was somewhere on the order
   of 80%, however, that is for a statistical sample over time, not for
   "one fuck".

   >I believe some women also have strong allergic reactions to spermicides. I
   >would (personally) say they are a poor choice.


   Independently, they are, but bear in mind that spermicides are absolutely
   necessary to the functioning of some forms of birth control - even a well 
   fitted diaphragm is pretty much useless without spermicidal jelly.


   DIAPHRAGM
   ---------
   (from: elf@halcyon.com)

   Has a failure rate of 2% (i.e. out of 100 women who primarily use the
   diaphragm, two become pregnant).  Always use spermicide; both partners
   _must_ learn how to place it properly.  It has few associated risks; it
   cannot become 'lost' because the vagina is only a few inches long.
   Can 'slip' and press against the rectum; this can be uncomfortable.
   Also, some men can feel the diaphragm during intercourse.  Some women
   have recurrent yeast infections when using the diaphragm.

   The average diaphragm costs about 20-30 dollars, but it must first
   be sized and fitted by a gynecologist, so there is the cost of a
   doctors' fee.  Must be replaced every two years to ensure correct fit
   and product lifespan.  A tube of Gynol II costs around 11 dollars and
   is good for 24 doses of spermicide.


   The major disadvantage to the diaphragm is that it must be used one
   of two ways; either it is inserted before any sort of sexual play, in
   which case the taste of spermicide can become an issue if the couple
   wishes to engage in oral sex, or is inserted after oral sex but before
   intercourse, which can be considered a major interruption of play and
   may lead to not using it all.
   (SOURCE: "The New Our Bodies, Ourselves" The Boston Women's Health
   Book Collective, 1984.  Pgs 225-228.)

   A personal observation:  Omaha and I rely on the diaphragm as our
   primary birth control.  As mentioned, she does have recurrent yeast
   infection, but we both agree this is a minimal compared to the intense,
   suicidal depression that came when she mixed birth control pills and
   her epilepsy medication.

   We are both fond of oral sex, so we use the diaphragm in the latter
   way described in paragraph three.  We have never failed to used it;
   insertion of the diaphragm has become a major part of our play, a way
   of saying "I love you, I care about you, I _will_ be responsible with
   your body" during lovemaking.

   The diaphragm, it _must_ be remembered, is _not_ an effective method

   of STD control; only a condom can do that.  The diaphragm is a
   reproduction control method for primary partners only!

   
c5-2. What kinds of condoms are there?
  
   (from: Steven Sharp, sesharp@happy.colorado.edu)

   This is a posting of information about types of condoms which are 
   significantly larger or smaller than average.  I got it out of a book 
   called "The Condom Book" or something similarly imaginative.

   One thing that was apparent from reading through the descriptions was that 
   advertising on size (or for that matter thickness or ribbing or whatever)
   is often misleading.  A brand which is claimed to be smaller than average 
   frequently isn't outside the normal variation.  There may also be 
   differences in size based on variations in manufacturing and these figures 
   were probably based on single samples.  Different size measurements for
   different styles of the same brand may indicate such variations or be
   an attempt to provide some size variation, in which case getting the 
   precise style named is important.  All measurements are flat and don't take 
   into account elasticity, which might influence comfort when worn.  Typical
   condom flat widths range from 2" to 2-1/8" (meaning two and one eighth, not 

   two minus an eight).  All the condoms listed here are both lubricated and
   reservoir ended.  Company names are listed in parentheses.  Extra words
   which may appear in the name on some packages are listed in square brackets.
   It is possible I've copied some numbers wrong (and other disclaimer noises).

Appendix 2.  The Teachings of Kama Sutra (with some extras goodies)

                    The Love Teachings of Kama Sutra
                    ================================
                             By Vatasyayana
                      Excerpts from the Kama Sutra .
 
               Source: "The Love Teachings of Kama Sutra"
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Lying Down Positions:
--------------------
 
Indrani draws up both her knees
until they nuzzle the curves of her breasts;
her feet find her lover's armpits.
Small girls love this posture,
but becoming a goddess takes a lot of practice.
 
 

She cups and lifts her buttocks with her palms,
spreads wide her thighs,
and digs in her heels besides her hips,
while you caress her breasts:
this is "Utphallaka" (The Flower in Bloom).
Grasping the ankles
of the round hipped woman, whose buttocks
are like two ripe gourds,
raise her beautiful thighs
and spread the thigh-joints widely.
 
Full of desire, saying sweet words,
approach her with your body stiff as a pole
and drive straight forward
to pierce her lotus and join your limbs:
experts call it "Madandhvaja" (The Flag of Cupid).
 
Catch hold of her two feet,
raising them till they press upon her breasts
and her legs form a rough circle.
Clasp her neck and make love to her:
this is "Ratisundara" (Aphrodite's Delight).
 

 
Lift the lady's feet until her soles
lie perfectly parallel,
one to each side of her slender throat,
cup her breasts and enjoy her:
this technique is "Uthkanta" (Throat-high).
 
 
Your lovely wife, lying on the bed,
grasps her own feet
and draws them up until they reach her hair;
you catch her breasts and make love:
this is "Vyomapada" (Sky-foot).
 
 
The round-thighed woman on the bed
grasps her ankles and raises high her lotus feet;
you strike her to the root, kissing
and slapping open-palmed between her breasts:
this is "Markata" (The Monkey).
 
 
She lies flat on her back,

you sit between her parted knees, raise them,
hook her feet over your thighs,
catch hold of her breasts, and enjoy her:
this is "Manmathpriya" (Dear to Cupid).
 
Lying-down Positions - Samputa Group:
------------------------------------
 
If your penis is too small for a woman,
the "Samputa" group of postures should be used:
"Samputa" (the Jewel Case),
"Pidita" (the Squeeze), "Veshtita (the Entwined)
and "Vadavaka" (the Mare's Trick).
 
 
In Samputa your legs lie along hers
caressing their whole length from toes to thighs.
Your lover may be below you,
or you may both lie on your sides,
in which case she should always be on your left.
 
 
In Pidita the lovers' thighs

are interlaced and squeeze each other in rhythm.
In Veshtita she crosses her thighs
or rolls each one inward,
thus greatly strengthening her yoni's grip.
 
When, like a mare cruelly gripping
a stallion, your lover
traps and milks your penis with her vagina,
it is "Vadavaka" (the Mare's Trick),
which can only be perfected with long practice.
 
 
When she uses it, a woman
should cease to kiss her lover
and simply hold the lock.
Courtesans are adept at Vadavaka,
and it's a speciality with ladies from Andhra(*).
 
      *The South-Eastern state of India.
 
 
When lovers, with legs stretched rigid
and feet caressing feet,

make love according to their hearts' desire,
"tantra" scholars call it "Sampada" (Equal Feet)
and agree it is a way to ecstasy.
 
 
Stiff as a pole in the bed's center,
she lies making love,
cooing and warbling like a woodpigeon,
the jewel of her clitoris well-polished:
this is Mausala" (the Pestle).
 
 
When she lies on her back
with her two thighs pressed tightly together
and you make love to her,
keeping your thighs outside hers,
it is "Gramya" (the Rustic).
 
If, encircling and trapping
her thighs with yours,
you grip so hard that she cries out in pain,
it is "Ratipasha" (Love's Noose),
a device most charming to the ladies.

 
 
Her limbs, entwined in yours
like tendrils of fragrant jasmine creeper,
draw taut and slowly relax
in the gentle rhythm of linga and yoni:
this is "Lataveshta" (the Clinging Creeper).
 
 
She draws her limbs together,
clasping her knees tightly to her breasts,
her yoni, like an opening bud,
offered up for pleasure:
this is known as "Mukula" (the Bud).
 
 
When she draws up her knees
and you clamp yours about her raised thighs,
trapping them in a tight knot
while riding saddle upon her buttocks
and kissing her, it is "Shankha" (the Couch).
 
 

Oral Pleasures -- Fellatio Techniques:
-------------------------------------
 
When your lover catches your penis
in her hand and, shaping
her lips to an 'O', lays them lightly to its tip,
moving her head in tiny circles,
this first step is called "Nimitta" (Touching).
 
 
Next, grasping its head in her hand,
she clamps her lips tightly about the shaft,
first on one side then the other,
taking great care that her teeth don't hurt you:
this is "Parshvatoddashta" (Biting at the Sides).
 
 
Now she takes the head of your penis
gently between her lips,
by turns pressing, kissing it tenderly
and pulling at its soft skin:
this is "Bahiha-samdansha" (the Outer Pincers).
 

 
If next she allows the head to slide
completely into her mouth
and presses the shaft firmly between her lips,
holding a moment before pulling away,
it is "Antaha-samdansha" (the Inner Pincers).
When, taking your penis in her hand
and making her lips very round,
she presses fierce kisses along its whole length,
sucking as she would at your lower lip,
it is called "Chumbitaka" (Kissing).
 
 
If, while kissing, she lets her tongue
flick all over your penis
and then, pointing it, strikes repeatedly
at the sensitive glans-tip,
it becomes "Parimrshtaka" (Striking at the Tip).
 
 
And now, fired by passion, she takes
your penis deep into her mouth,
pulling upon it and sucking as vigorously

as though she were stripping clean a mango-stone:
this is "Amrachushita" (Sucking a Mango).
 
 
When she senses that your orgasm
is imminent she swallows up the whole penis,
sucking and working upon it
with lips and tongue until you spend:
this is "Sangara" (Swallowed Whole).
 
 
Oral Pleasures -- Cunnilingus Techniques:
----------------------------------------
 
With delicate fingertips,
pinch the arched lips of her house of love
very very slowly together,
and kiss them as though you kissed her lower lip:
this is "Adhara-sphuritam" (the Quivering Kiss).
Now spread, indeed cleave asunder,
that archway with your nose and let your tongue
gently probe her "yoni" (vagina),
with your nose, lips and chin slowly circling:

it becomes "Jihva-bhramanaka" (the Circling Tongue).
 
 
Let your tongue rest for a moment
in the archway to the flower-bowed Lord's temple
before entering to worship vigorously,
causing her seed to flow:
this is "Jihva-mardita" (the Tongue Massage).
 
 
Next, fasten your lips to hers
and take deep kisses
from this lovely one, your beloved,
nibbling at her and sucking hard at her clitoris:
this is called "Chushita" (Sucked).
 
 
Cup, lift her young buttocks,
let your tongue-tip probe her navel, slither down
to rotate skilfully in the archway
of the love-god's dwelling and lap her love-water:
this is "Uchchushita" (Sucked Up).
 

 
Stirring the root of her thighs,
which her own hands
are gripping and holding widely apart,
your fluted tongue drinks at her sacred spring:
this is "Kshobhaka" (Stirring).
 
 
eddit Place your darling on a couch,
set her feet to your shoulders, clasp her waist,
suck hard and let your tongue stir
her overflowing love-temple:
this is called "Bahuchushita" (Sucked Hard).
 
 
If the pair of you lie side by side,
facing opposite ways,
and kiss each other's secret parts
using the fifteen techniques described above,
it is known as "Kakila" (the Crow).
 
 
Role Reversal:

-------------
 
During lovemaking, ten types of blows
may be struck with the penis,
but of these only "Upasripta" (Natural),
which is instinctive even to untutored cowherds,
results in full clitoral stimulation.
It is a gentle forward stroke
which may be varied for depth and speed,
allowing a subtlety, rhythm
and spontaneity which
the other nine each lack to some degree.
 
 
If you grasp your penis and move it
in circles inside her yoni,
it is "Madhavana" (Churning).
When you strike sharply down into the yoni,
it is "Hula" (the Double-edged Knife).
 
 
If, when her hips are raised by a pillow,
you strike a rising blow,

it is "Avamardana" (Rubbing).
If you hold your penis pressed breathlessly
to her womb it is "Piditaka" (Pressing).
 
 
If you withdraw completely
and then strike her violently to the womb,
it is "Nirghata" (the Buffet).
Continuous pressure on one side of her yoni
is "Varahaghata" (the Boar's Blow).
 
 
If you thrust wildly in every direction,
like a bull tossing its horns,
it is "Vrishaghata" (the Bull's Blow).
Quivering in her yoni is "Chatakavilasa" (Sparrow Sport),
which usually heralds orgasm.
 
 
The involuntary shuddering of orgasm
is called "Samputa" (the Jewel Case).
But no two women make love quite the same way,
so orchestrate your rhythms

to the moods and colors of each lover's "raga" (emotions).
 
 
If long lovemaking exhausts you
before your lover has reached her orgasm,
you should allow her
to roll you over your back
and sit astride you, taking initiative.
 
If the posture gives her deep pleasure,
or you enjoy its novelty,
she may transpose into it as a matter of course,
taking great care, however,
not to expel the linga from the temple of love.
 
 
Consider: she climbs upon you,
the flowers dropping from her tousled hair,
her giggles turning to gasps;
every time she bends to kiss your lips
her nipples pierce your chest.
 
 

As her hips begin to churn,
her head, flung back, bobs ever faster;
she scratches, pummels you with small fists,
fastens her teeth in your neck,
doing unto you what you've often done unto her.
 
 
When she takes the man's role,
your lady has the choice
of three famous lovemaking techniques:
"Samdamsha (the Tongs),
"Bhramara" (the Bee) and "Prenkholita" (the Swing).
 
 
If she uses the Mare's Trick,
gripping your penis with her yoni's vice,
squeezing and stroking it,
holding it inside her for a hundred heart-beats,
it is known as "Samdamsha" (the Tongs).
If, drawing up her feet,
she revolves her hips so that your penis
circles deep within her yoni,
you arching your body to help her,

it is "Bhramara" (the Bee).
 
 
If she now swings her hips
in wide circles and makes figures-of-eight,
swaying upon your body
as though she were riding on a seesaw,
it is "Prenkholita" (the Swing).
 
 
When her passion has ebbed,
she should rest, bending forward to lay
her forehead upon yours
without disturbing your yoked bodies:
it won't be long before desire stirs again.
 
 
Catching your penis, the lady
with dark eyes like upturned lotus petals
guides it into her yoni,
clings to you and shakes her buttocks:
this is "Charunarikshita" (Lovely Lady in Control).
 

 
Enthroned on your penis,
she places both hands on the bed
and makes love, while you
press your two hands to her thudding heart:
this is "Lilasana" (Seat of Sport).
 
 
She sits upright upon you,
her head thrown back like a rearing mare,
bringing her feet together
on the bed to one side of your body:
this is "Hansabandha" (the Swan).
 
 
The young woman has one foot
on your heart and the other on the bed.
Bold, saucy women adore this posture,
which is known to the world
as "Upavitika" (the Sacred thread).
 
If, with one of her feet
clasped in your hand

and the second placed upon your shoulder,
your young lady enjoys you,
it is "Viparitaka" (Reversed).
 
 
If your lover, seated above you
with feet lotus-crossed
and her body held erect and still
makes love to you,
it is known as "Yugmapada" (the Foot Yoke).
 
 
If she strides you,
facing your feet,
brings both her feet up to your thighs,
and works her hips frantically,
it is known as "Hansa-lila" (Swan Sport).
 
 
Your lover places one foot
on your ankle, lodges
her other foot just above your knee,
and rides you, swinging and rotating her hips:

this is "Garuda" (Garuda).
 
 
If you lie flat on your back
with legs stretched out
and your lover sits astride you, facing away
and grasping your feet,
it is called "Virsha" (the Bull).
Clasping each other's hands,
you lie sprawled like two starfish making love,
her breasts stabbing your chest,
her thighs stretched out along yours:
this is "Devabandha" (the Coitus of the Gods).
 
 
Lying upon you, your beloved
moves round like a wheel,
pressing hands one after the other on the bed,
kissing your body as she circles:
experts call this "Chakrabandha" (the Wheel).
 
 
If, by means of some contraption,

your lover suspends herself above you,         **********
places your linga in her yoni                  **********
and pulleys herself up and down upon it,       **********
it is "Utkalita" (the Orissan).**              **********
 
 
**I must admit that this is kind of far fetched. However,
  there is an illustration on the next page depicting this
  position and showing two women pulling the woman up.
*** HOWEVER IF YOU DO GET A CHANCE, TRY IT OUT. IT'S ONE OF A KIND OF AN
EXPERIENCE.
 
 
WARNING  I: DON'T TRY ANY OF THESE METHODS DESCRIBED BELOW.
WARNING II:IF YOU ARE GOING TO TRY ANY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED BELOW,
           YOU AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
To Enslave a Lover:
 
Anoint your penis, before lovemaking,
with honey into which

you have powered black pepper,
long pepper and "datura" (the green thorn apple) -
it will utterly devastate your lady.
 
 
Leaves caught as they fall from trees
and powdered with peacock-bone
and fragments of a corpse's winding-sheet
will, when dusted lightly
on the penis, bewitch any woman living.
 
 
If you crush milky chunks of cactus
with sulphur and realgar,
dry the mixture seven times, powder it
and apply it to your penis,
you'll satisfy the most demanding lover.
 
 
And if, to these powerful ingredients,
you add a monkey's turd,
grind them together and sprinkle the powder
on your unsuspecting lover's head,

she will be your devoted slave for life.
 
To Increase Potency:
-------------------
 
Honey-sweetened milk in which
the testicles of a ram
or a goat have been simmered
has the effect, when drunk,
of making a man as powerful as a bull.
 
 
Pumkin seeds ground with almonds
and sugarcane root,
or with cowhage root and strips of bamboo,
and stirred into honeyed milk,
have the same arousing effect.
 
 
The sages say that wheat-flour cakes
baked with honey and sugar
and sprinkled with the powdered seeds
of pumpkin and cowhage

give one strength for a thousand women.
 
The yolk of a single sparrow's egg
stirred into rice pudding
that has been thickened with cream,
wild-honey and "ghee" (clarified butter)
has the same invigorating effect.
 
 
 
Enlarging the Penis or "Yoni" (Vagina):
--------------------------------------
First rub your penis with wasp stings
and massage it with sweet oil.
When it swells, let it dangle for ten nights
through a hole in your bed,
going to sleep each night on your stomach.
 
 
After this period use a cool ointment
to remove the pain and swelling.
By this method men ... of insatiable
sexual appetite, manage to keep

their penises enlarged throughout their lives.
 
 
By applying an ointment made from
crushed barleria leaves
to her "yoni", the elephant(HASTHINI or large) woman
can spend at least one night
discovering the delights of being a doe ("small" woman).
 
 
Likewise the doe can use honey
mixed with powdered roots
of lotus, madder, "sal" (tree of aromatic gum),
the blue lotus and the mongoose plant
to accommodate a stallion for one night.
 
 
To Cope With Impotence:
----------------------
 
A man who climaxes too swiftly
should arouse his lady
by caressing her clitoris with his fingers

and flooding the well
of her yoni before he enters her.
 
 
If, during lovemaking, the erection
cannot be sustained because
the man is old, or simply exhausted
he should use the delicate
oral techniques given in an earlier chapter.
 
 
The man who is utterly unable
to achieve an erection
should pleasure his wife/lover with a phallus
crafted from materials like
gold, silver, copper, iron (!!), ivory or horn.
 
 
The artificial phallus should be shaped
to your natural proportions.
It will be more arousing for the lady
if the outside is studded
with a profusion of large, smooth nodules.
