Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

2000 married working women 20-30 years old were the subjects of an empirical investigation carried out in parts of

Austria to determine attitudes toward family, birth control, and sexuality. The desired number of children proved to be

greater in families with modest aspirations for their offspring. There is a beginning trend, however, toward larger

families by well-to-do parents with high aspirations for their children, and these families use safe methods of birth

control most consistently and successfully. Families with flexibility in sexual roles and high levels of

communication use birth control most successfully and reported the most satisfying sex lives. A certain "bystander"

sexual mentality was observed, with women assuming sexual fulfillment in others lives while lacking it in their own.

For more than 1/3 of the women coitus interruptus was the most frequent method of birth control. 50% of all the

women expressed a desire for more information in matters of sex and birth control. 3/4 of the women approved of

marriage and sex counseling bureaus, and 2/3 indicated they would use these. This strong interest in counseling on

the part of young couples suggests that national action should be taken to establish such centers. (PubHealth.info
