How do I prevent pregnancy scares?

I know that this might sound like a trivial question, but there are so many pregnancy scares on Y! answers every day that I feel like having posted answers would benefit a lot of the users on here, especially the younger ones. So here we go:

What are the best ways to prevent a pregnancy scare?

What are some general tips and guidelines for those who

(1) are having full on sex or

(2) younger and mostly engage in non-penetrative activities and other kinds of sex play?

Thanks for participating!

    dont ask questions.

    that is the best way to prevent scares. everyone has horror stories. but what they dont tell you is that:

    1) women have been giving birth for thousands of years and the majority of them have turned out ok.

    and 2) the human body is pretty resilient. alot of scares in pregnancy can and often will correct themselves. just to everything you can to take care of yourself and stay as stress-free as posible..

    for people having full on sex... there is no such thing as too much protection.

    1. know your partner.

    2. its ok to use the pill in conjunction with condoms. cover all your assets.

    and for younger ppl... hey you can still catch certain diseases through other acts... herpes anyone?

    Don't have sex or double up birth control, like the pill and condoms

    What are some general tips and guidelines for those who

    (1) are having full on sex or - use protection ALWAYS

    (2) younger and mostly engage in non-penetrative activities and other kinds of sex play? - Use protection, people seem to focus only on pregnancy and not STD's

    Condoms are pretty safe if used correctly. Buy them fresh from the store - don't use one that's been in someone's wallet or car for weeks on end. Check the expiry date. Buy a reputable brand such as Durex. Some condoms come with a chemical called a spermicide which is a substance that destroys sperm - this will give added protection. Make sure the guy put the condom on BEFORE his penis even goes near your genitals. After he's ejaculated, make sure he withdraws immediately whilst holding the condom in place at the base of the penis. This will prevent him pulling out and the condom being left inside you. if you want to check that the condom is intact, after he's finished, tie a knot in the used condom and gently squeeze and check for leaks.

    It's called birth control and knowing how the reproductive system works. That's about it. BIRTH CONTROL used properly. Condoms and pills.

    Birth control!! there are so many options when it comes to birth control now a days.

    Condoms, and such also work great!

    The simple answer is just don't have sex. It doesn't matter how much protection you use, eventually you will have one of those moments where you freak yourself out about it.
