Since his girlfriend experienced side effects from birth control pills in the past, she and James chose to use the sponge. It’s available over the counter, so it’s easy to get.
She puts it in and he usually can’t feel it during sex. What he can feel, though, is his girlfriend and that’s important to James. Plus, unlike condoms, he doesn’t have to worry about the sponge breaking when he gets wilder in bed.
