Well, if you've decided to not have kids (and we took our time to decide
this), you have some pretty tough choices:

1) Female birth control: most effective is the pill, but the side effects
suck.
2) Male birth control: ummm... not too pleasant.  
3) Female sterilization: Pretty nasty operation, long recovery time.
4) Male sterilization: Easy surgery, short recovery time.

Having grown up Catholic and with a mother who worked for Planned
Parenthood, I had a pretty good knowledge of guilt and the long-term
effectiveness of birth control.  (99% means that you've got a good chance
that one of those 100 f**ks will result in a trophy.)

I actually enjoy sex a whole lot more now.  I don't have to worry, and
Chan doesn't have to take drugs or rely on other weird things.
