Andre, 29, fertility awareness

Fertility awareness is au naturel family planning.

Andre appreciates that there’s nothing to take, use, or buy (except maybe a thermometer or period-tracking calendar app). His wife simply keeps track of her menstrual cycle to determine which days she can get pregnant and which days are safe for as much spontaneous sex as they want.

But simply keeping track of your cycle is not exactly simple. As Andre points out, this is a great method for he and his wife, but it does require women to intimately know their body and what it’s supposed to do throughout the entire menstrual cycle.
