Sex and Fertility Awareness

Book Report: Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition by Marilyn M. Shannon

July 12, 2010

Once gain, I’ve come across a book that I think every woman could benefit from reading. At first glance, for a variety of reasons, you may not think this book is relevant to you.

The Sanctity of Sex: An Illustration from C. S. Lewis

Why Do Christians Make Such a Big Deal Out of Sex?

May 17, 2010

If you’re not a Christian, you might be wondering why we make such a fuss over the issue. Why save it for marriage? What’s so bad about sex outside of marriage? We live in the 21st century, for goodness sakes! Those ideas are so Dark Ages. But if you know me at all you know [...]

Thoughts on Birth Control and Monogamy

April 30, 2010

On a more recent post, Diana (though being generally pro-Pill) had this to say about Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), the alternative that I prefer: I definitely would encourage monogamous, heterosexual couples to consider it for their family planning [...]

Why I Have Become Anti-Pill (And Pro-FAM)

April 5, 2010

As many of you know, I only became aware of Fertility Awareness (via Natural Family Planning) about four months ago. But within these last four months, everything I ever believed or felt about birth control has utterly changed. I now feel passionate about spreading the word about Fertility Awareness. Most of it is related to [...]

Objection #4 to Early Marriage: Marrying for Sex

March 6, 2010

For the last few weeks I have been defending early marriage. Part of my argument for why we ought to consider marrying younger had to do with saving sex for marriage: I believe that sex should stay within marriage, but that it’s unreasonable to expect people to wait until their late twenties — the age [...]

Some insights I’ve gained from my first month of Fertility Awareness

February 5, 2010

So I think you guys know that I started charting my cycles last month as I finally embraced Fertility Awareness.  I learned a ton during my experience of going from completely unaware of my body’s fertility patterns to somewhat aware. If you are interested in fertility awareness, but haven’t taken that first step yet, here [...]
