PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Abstinence
You may have heard people talk about abstinence in different ways. Some people think of abstinence as not having vaginal intercourse. They may enjoy other kinds of sexual activities that don't lead to pregnancy. This is better described as outercourse. Abstinence prevents pregnancy by keeping sperm out of the vagina. Abstinence is one of the safest ways to prevent pregnancy — there are no side effects.
